We had a great little USB charger that I picked up in the airport one time and put on expenses. It packed up a couple of years ago and I had planned on pillaging the USB ports from it for some other use. But getting into it proved too hard and I wound up using a 2lb ball pane hammer to bust it open and found that it had suffered a heat failure: It was also totally impossible to recover the USB ports as they’re too well incorporated into the board, so I binned the lot. Shame.
