I know it is probably futile but you might want to just try reinstalling the drivers once. Might work, maybe, worth a shot right?

It would be great to be able to use one of my short phone charger cables to connect to the Raspberry Pi.

Not as cheap as replacing the port, but if you pulled out the through-hole plating, it *might* be an option before moving to replace the whole board.

You could also try to resolder it.

When I plug it into computer my mouse and keyboard dont work, and I cant get the printer to connect to computer.

How can I fix this?

Any help would be very much appriciated, Thank you.
