Replacing the USB port requires a little bit of work, however it is easier than soldering a new port onto the existing board. Once again as with most of the repairs on this device it is relatively straight forward, the only thing it requires is a couple tools, also, the only hazard to note is to not use metal tools if possible because it is a circuit board with electrical connections that could short out. For example, if a metal spudger were to make a connection between two components on the board it could render the board useless.
