Broken firewire port (female end)

Broken firewire port (female end)

The place where the charger plugs into the ipod is broken (metal wired damaged) can this be fixed???

ANSWERS:

So with broken firewire ports I've heard of people moving around the pins with a paperclip or something similar and trying to realign them, doesn't necessarily last or work, but worth a try. Maybe you can upload a picture of the damage so people here can see and give suggestions.
