One of my Pi Desktop USB jumpers - the thing that connects the microUSB on the expansion board to the USB A on the Pi itself - has gone walk-about. Is it possible to buy a replacement jumper on its own? Thanks.

Hi Christopher,
That looks a bit specialist, I'm not sure I've seen such a thing available separately.
You may be able to fashion it from (say) this part:

and a USB plug perhaps.
I bought REXQualis 120pcs Breadboard Jumper Wires 20cm Length from amazon today, for my Pi Desktop and it became my job.
There are many types of USB adapters available on ebay including USB A to micro-usb. The only problem might be finding one short enough to fit in the Pi Desktop.
Usually the shortest ones available are 6" - 12".
I don't think you will get a replacement for that particular part!
Why not use a normal micro-USB to USB Type A cable itself? It will work. (It wont give you the aesthetic look)
