Graphtec PN7063-01B Broken USB-B connector

Recommended Posts

This is the main board for my wife's Silhouette-SD. The inside of the USB-B connector (plastic with metal contacts-not shown) broke off inside the machine. It looks like to me that someone could solder it back together, but I have neither the equipment nor the skills to do so. Actually, I'm pretty sure I could do this, but I'm not sure I could secure it properly to the board again. Where should I go to get this done? Can I send it in?

In the alternative, could I order a replacement board? I can't find one anywhere online. 

Thanks!

A competent cell phone repair shop should be able to fix it. They fix worn out charging ports all the time, this would only differ in pin count, if that. 10-15 min job, if they have the part. If they can't, I wouldn't trust a phone to them.
