Hi there,
First time posting so apologies for any errors.
I recently purchased one of these laptops second-hand because I'm going on holiday soon and up until now I didn't have a functional laptop. It was in good quality for a fair price, save for one problem: the two USB ports on the right-hand side of the laptop are non-functional.
This isn't a major problem since I have a USB hub I can use but I decided to open the laptop up to see if there was anything I could do about it. I have novice-level experience with repairing laptops so I hoped I could spot any obvious errors. I didn't have any luck with repairing the USBs but I did notice that the section of the motherboard they are connected to appears to be modular:

I am confident in my ability to replace it but the problem is I have no idea what this part is called, let alone where I would begin looking for a replacement (or if it's even modular at all). Does anyone know what this part is?
Thank you in advance.
