How can I repair the usb power connector?

I tripped over my Xbox One Controller's Play & Charge cable while it was plugged into the controller. The sudden jerk appears to have disconnected the usb connector from the board inside the controller.

"Hi,

Here is a link which shows how to replace the top motherboard in your controller. This is to show you how you gain access to the micro USB port.

The micro USB port is mounted on this motherboard. You would either have to re-solder it onto the motherboard if it was only pulled loose from the board and was not damaged or if it was damaged, remove it and replace it with a new one

Here is an Ifixit guide on how to replace the top motherboard.

Xbox One Wireless Controller Top Motherboard Replacement

To replace the connector you would need the following:

1. tools to open the Xbox One controller (see guide)

2. replacement female micro USB connector (available from Ebay, Amazon etc) if the original is damaged. You cannot repair them.

3. soldering iron and tools

4. skills in soldering components on pcb"

My controller had no problem until I put my charging cable in and bent it for no reason, After, it completely snapped of and I just go a female port from my old controller and soldered it back on the motherboard.
