WD elements broken USB connector

The USB connector ( drive end) has broken off he board… Too small to re-solder
There is the main board then a smaller plugged in board … I need to replace this board…
Where can I get hold of one without buying a complete new drive and swapping the boards out? Thanks

See if this post helps explain about the boards http://community.wd.com/t5/Off-Topic-Discussions/Bridge-Boards/td-p/353839  Elements is not an encrypted drive so it’s possible to connect as an internal or put in another enclosure.
