Hello, I see you are looking for technical assistance. If you need our help, you can start a private message with us and we will be happy to assist you.
Finding anyone who will try replacing the port -- even if they can source it from China -- is likely to cost a minimum of a few hundred dollars, and if they're honest with you, they'll mention the uncertainty of succeeding with the repair. If the port is clearly physically damaged, it may succeed. If not, other components may be involved.
With the i5 version of these mainboards running about $250 (the i7 ones are close to double that), it'll be a more certain path forward to replace the system board. You can find vendors who will offer a year's warranty on a board -- which most repairers will not.
