usb 3 header 1 pin broken.

[gtatrain]

hello good day. today i was working on installing my rig into a new case.

 

and when i was working on the usb 3 cable. i noticed 1 pin was bent flat. 

 

which might be the reason why 1 of the usb ports didnt work on my case.

 

i tried to bend it back carefully but it instantly snapped off.

 

after some checking it appears to be a 

 

intA_p2_D+ pin. 

 

is there anyway for me to salvage this?

 

my motherboard is a gigabyte g1 guerrilla. which is lucky to have usb 3 to begin with.

 

 

thanks you in advance for the help

Cable or port? With a cable it’s usually easier to replace the cable.

The actual port on the motherboard.
 

The pin just ripped right off.

soldering would not be the hardest i think. 

 

if there is no other way.. i just need to find info about what color the wire is. ect

 

is this pin a usb 3 or usb 2 pin? i have seen usb 3 to usb 2 adapters before. 

 

so if its a usb 3 related pin it would just run as a usb 2 port then. right? (even then. this might even be the usb c port which wil never be used to begin with)
