Mini USB receiver end in calculator is broken, how do I replace that?

Mini USB receiver end in calculator is broken, how do I replace that? The pins in the calculator are bent in, preventing a charge. I was wondering if I would be able to buy a new female end, open the calculator and resolder it in if that's even possible.

"@ow0 , ow0, Maybe try straightening pins carefully with a toothpick, if no success then consider the changing of port. If port is found to be bad/loose/damaged , this is really not a repair for the inexperienced because the charge port for your device is soldered to the mother board and the heat generated could cause further damage if not very careful. I will post a link to a tear down guide to get you inside the calculator to check the charge port and will also post a link(not your device/same repair) showing what is involved in repairing a mini USB attached to the board in case you would like to give it a whirl. If not wanting to do the repair yourself have a good computer/cell phone repair shop have a look and estimate repair. You may have to find/match visually replacement port, when doing a search. Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
