I/O board Micro USB Connector Striped copper.

My sister gave me her tablet because it was"not charging and sounded like something was shaking around" after inspection the interior of the Micro USB port was disconnected and somehow striped the connector copper of the I/O board. I tried to find a replacement part but the official store no longer carries it because of the tablets age, and other places the part costs more than getting a new tablet. Is it possible to somehow fix the board or will I need to buy a new one/device?

Would it be possible for you to take a picture of the damage? Maybe you could find a different jack that would fit in its place?

you would need to solder a jumper where the missing pad is. just replacing the charge port wont be enough unfortunately. it it stripped some of the lead away as well you can take an exato knife and strip the protection away a little to reveal more copper trace, just very carefully.
