How do I fix a usb port that doesn't charge the tablet?

How do I fix a usb port that doesn't charge the tablet? My girlfriend was charging her Xperia z tablet and it fell down with the USB cable still attached. Now the tablet wont charge. I am sure it would still charge with the cradle charger but Sony doesn't sell it anymore. Any ideas?

"Step 1) check whether any damages of logic board around micro USB interface

Step 2) Re-solder it if there is no sign of physical damages in the connector

Step 3) Change it"

"hi there,

the longest is to get the spare part :-)

i ordered it from the mentionned website (parts4repair) and i received it from Singapore to France in 9 days.

open the back panel : 3 min

unscrew the 3 screws... about 1 min if you're slow and admire at how it is all nicely done!

remove the faulty part... about 30 sec... be cautious!

replace with new : arghh does not fit correstly ! about 1/2 milimetre wrong. so I cut the plastic on the tablet hence the new part fits tightly.

make sure your fix the connector, just pressing on.

re-screw, re-place...

try ! (was ok for me)"
