I've tried Googling part replacement, but I'm not finding anything for this specific model.
This tablet belongs to one of my special ed students, and I'm really hoping I can fix it for less than $60 (the Amazon asking price for a new model)
Is this a good question?

Eoghan, Small tweezers, toothpick, jewelers screw driver or something like that, should enable yo to straighten the pins in charge port. I have had success in the past using one of the heavier type tooth picks.
Good luck.

I was able to make most of them pretty straight - just in the center... but when I tried putting the cord in, they got all bent up again. I've also tried Google searching what the inside of a tablet charger port should look like, as well as looking at my brother's tablet (different brand, didn't help)... and still at a loss of how they should be bent
Are they supposed to be along the backside/top? Or bottom? Or just pointing forward in the middle?
Eoghan, I had no luck finding a pic. of your charging port, sounds like the port is missing a piece that may hold/ align the contacts, maybe take it into a small computer repair shop, have the take a look, ask them if it is standard charge port, get an estimate on repair or see if they have a replacement port for you to solder in.
your right about that.

To be clear - it's the pins inside the charging port. They're bent various ways, and when I try plugging a standard micro-usb android charging cable in to the port, it doesn't rest - likely because of the bent pins.
Does not seem to be charging.
I am borrowing it from one of my special ed students... again, hoping I can fix it for cheap, but I'm not having luck finding parts on ebay or google
