    @Lycronicals1_ the only way to replace that port is to desolder it and replace it with a new one. If you don't know soldering, take it to a pc repair shop or electronics store that knows soldering.

    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!

    It depends on the model you have. Most of the PO3 models do have that port soldered to the motherboard, most the PO5 and PO7 models do not. Earlier Predator models might or might not, and the same with the Nitro desktops. Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like xxxxx-xxx-xxxx.
