After dismantling and desoldering and resoldering so many times, I could open the Fire in 10 seconds.

I also found a cheap solid solution without buying a new port.

I made used of the head phone port.

Only one short wire is needed to jump the usb +5volt to headphone port + terminal.  Ground terminals are shared or connected on the motherboard.  No jumping of ground is needed.

Cut an old broken headphone wire.

Cut off micro usb charger plug.

Connect the +5v/ground to headphone 5mm male plug with a pig tail.  Solder and tape up.  Done.

A multimeter is needed in addition to soldering iron, solder, paste, electrical tape.

This new alternate charging port has been working happily over 3 months.
