Here's my situation. My laptop only has 3 usb ports, one of which is an esata / usb. I am in a situation where that just is not enough. I could get a usb hub and carry all that crap around with me, but that is just not fun. So maybe someone here can tell me if my idea will work.
I want to get a 1 to 3 usb hub and take the PC board out of its case. I then wanna cut open the cable, and sodder in INSIDE the laptop to one of the usb connectors. At that point, I want to remove the usb adapters on the devices and sodder (internally, after removing cases etc to minimize space usage) my GPS reciever, My magicjack, and my bluetooth adapter. Essentially, this would (in theory) be the same as having it all plugged in externally. would this work or no?
