Adding a new USB port inside a Macbook Pro
- by MikeC8
I have a USB Dongle that I'd like to put inside my Macbook Pro. I have already found a spot that will fit the dongle. The next question is splicing one of the USB ports and connecting it to the dongle.
Here's a photograph of the inside of my Macbook Pro, showing the USB ports and a little gray plastic divider with four holes in it above each port.

My question:
Does anyone know what is inside these holes? Presumably each one is a pin for the USB port, right? Can I just stick a wire in there, giving me 4 pins, plus the fifth attached to the metal outside the port?
More generally, any one have any ideas for what might be the easiest way to get a USB port inside my MBP? :)
Thanks!
