Damaged micro usb on WD My Passport

[palamida]

Hello , i have WD5000BMVV-11A1CSO

Themicro usb that is soldered on to the PCB is damaged. The external drive is working all good and okay until one day I realize I could not plug in my cable to the micro usb port.

The micro usb is damaged.

Is there any way to connect without using that micro usb port or can i buy somewhere micro usb to replace it?

If you open the drive you void the warranty. Except for Elements most drivea are hardware encrypted by the board with the bad port and need that board to decrypt the data. You can see if an electroincs repair place can resloder the port.
