USB ports help

[GeneralGusher]

Hey

 

so a around a year ago I built my pc in a new case with a new motherboard but when I was plugging in the USB ports from the front of the case into the motherboard I accidentally ended up breaking one of the pins off from the motherboard. Since then those ports haven’t been fixed and was trying to fix it soon. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do?

Sounds like you either need to clean/resolder the existing USB plug, or get a new USB plug and solder it in place of the old one.

Depends on what kind of "break" it is. A pic would be nice.
Also depends on what kind of break, it may or may not be easily fixable.

I’ll try to get a pic, but essentially it’s just 1 pin on the port on the mobo that broke off and is stuck inside the usb header that plugs into the port
