Need to open up to see if it is the usb connector that had broke off from the circuit board.

If the damage is not extensive, can try soldering back the broken joint of the usb connector.

Or u can try bending it straight again, hopefully the broken joint can click back in place.

Just my 2 cent worth of thoughts, do it at your own risk...
