It is useful as it shows how to open the phone so that access to the micro USB charging port is possible.
Here’s a image taken from Step.5 in the guide showing the USB port. It appears as though it is supported in position by a bracket but I think that it will be a SMD (surface mount device) type component and you will need SMD tools and expertise to do the repair.

If the SMD repair seems too daunting, contact a reputable, professional mobile phone or electronics repair service and ask for a quote to do the replacement of the USB connector only. You provide the dis-assembled phone and new USB connector and will do the re-assembly after the repair. This should reduce the cost to you as they don’t have to spend time opening and closing the phone or sourcing the correct part. Just a thought.
