Just to be sure, you've tried a different USB cable and different COMPUTER as well?

I just want to make sure that the problem is definately with the USB connector on your player and not something else like the USB cable (it has happened a few times in the past) or a problem with the computer.....

javagamer,
To replace the part you would have to release the 4 mount points and the solder from the 5 wire cable connection. Clean and remove all the old solder and then refit and solder a new 5 pin mini usb connector.

This is not an easy job and certainly not something you should attempt without experience in this type of repair as you could easily damage the mainboard and make the problem worse.

An electronics or mobile phone repair center may be able to help.
