I have a USB microphone, based on cm6533 chip, that appears to be in working condition, with the exception of it's fried USB type C connector. Upon closer inspection this is the circuit that houses the connector itself: I am bewildered by the components that are in close proximity, those are: what appears to be 4 capacitors(2 more on the other side), 1 transformer and 3 mysterious SMD components with "AC" marking on top.
Questions are:
- What are those necessary components that require such a close proximity to the connector? And how may I research more on this topic, countless different "silly" queries didn't yield much.
- Will it be detrimental for the device if I just cut up a spare USB cable and solder V+ D+ D- and GND to the pads on this PCB?
P.S.: My best guess is that those capacitors are used for "noise cancellation" in the cable, but other components leave me guessing. P.P.S.: I have searched for type C connector variant and found it, but waiting 4 week for the delivery is beyond my patience.
