Laptop USB Port damaged

Dear Sifu,

My laptop usb port went kaput. Any shop to get this fix by replacing the usb port only? Changing MB is very expensive....

Is it physically damaged that you observed? Or just not functioning? If it's not working, the problem may not just be the port itself, but something deeper like other related ICs & components on the motherboard.

Hi, thank you for replying. Cannot see any physically damage. There are 2 usb ports, only one is not functioning.

How old is the laptop, might not be worth the repair for anything more than 3 years unless its high spec. Do you use both port often? if your mouse require to use one, consider changing to a bluetooth mouse.
