Broken USB out, how to fix?

[atragicvillain]

hey guys, just wondering if anyone has had this issue before. Basically a few months back I had my SP-555 too close to a window and slammed it shut on the USB cable, which kinda bent down the USB out, I think. In any case the USB out doesn't work anymore, and when you plug the cord in you can certainly tell that it's got a bit of a downward tilt now.

Has anyone ever had this problem? I don't really want to take it in to some repair shop that's going to charge me a bench fee just to look at it, in addition to whatever they'll charge me. Nor do I really have the money for it. Honestly I was considering selling it but it's an issue with the busted USB out. Although anyone who uses an SP will quickly realize there isn't much to be done with that USB out, anyway.

If you're in Seattle, might be able to convince my homie to peep it. He owns a computer repair shop and is pretty good with electronics.

have you tried with a different cable? maybe the cable just got wrecked
