usb broken

My dell xps 15. 3 out of 3 usb port broken. Physically broken. And i go to every shop, they said cannot repair cause they dont have the usb suitable for my laptop to replace the broken and missing one. Can i ask for dell support help in this case? Do dell tech support got an email? Cause i want to email. Weekdays i cant call cause i got class and weekend the call service is closed. So, can anyone help?

A.S.A.P!!!!

    We need to know which system (L501x, L502x) and which port - it will either require a circuit board change or a complete new mainboard.

    If they're physically broken, this is the part to replace:

    If they are not physically broken, be sure you've installed the USB 3.0 chipset drivers:

    Sorry to ask. But that should be my left port right? How bout my right port? eSATA port? 

    And, if i can recall, i dont see separate board on my laptop, somehow, the usb connected to motherboard and i ask the technician if they can replace it but they said they cant because my port is the stick, not the screw and unscrew thing. U get what i mean?

    I can't make sense of what you've posted.  If you've damaged the USB port on the mainboard, then you will need a replacement mainboard.

    It looks like the USB/eSATA combo port on the right side is connected to a daughterboard.  The others on the left side are part of the mainboard.

    Try parts-people.com.  If it's a daughterboard, it'll be $50 or less.  If it's the mainboard, $200+.
