Hi.
Can you describe your issue?
It seems you had some problem publishing your question.

Hi Sara, thanks for coming back. Well every time i pushed the return key, my question was immediately posted. My problem is as follows: I have ordered a few ESP32TTGO with 0.96 OLED from Banggood. One unit was defective, the micro usb connector was not soldered very well and broke off immediately. I have been scrowling various web pages how to repair the SMD connector, for which I think I am not qualified enough. Perhaps I will find a technician in my neighbourhood. So my question to you guys is: can I still programm this board using RX/TX and some other GPIOs  ? Thanks for letting me know, (sorry for pushing the return key so often. I thought it would be better to close the issues immediately) Take care and stay healthy
 

Hi.
Yes, I think you can use the RX and TX pins to program the board with an FTDI programmer.
RX-TX
TX-RX
However, I don’t know if you need additional connections. 
Try it this way and see if it is possible.
Regards,
Sara
