Well, someone in the house did. Might have been the dog. What appears to have happened was a USB cable was ripped out sideways. Part of the USB port is missing now, and my pi is complaining about the short, because the prongs are all exposed and likely touching.

Is it possible to get a replacement USB port? I can solder, so that isn't a problem. After doing some searching on the web though, it seems I'm the only person asking this question.

Yes, you'll need a heat gun capable of melting the solder, but yes, it's doable. The equipment to do this is likely to cost more than buying a new Raspberry pi though.

I have a reflow solder station with both the iron and heat gun. I was just wondering if the part is something easily found.

Yea, you should be able to find the part on AliExpress, temu or even ebay
