I appreciate you posting this. What kind of new charging port did you use (USB type, size, etc) and does IFIXIT sell them?
The part you are looking for is a female Micro USB B-Type solder socket. I no longer have the unit available to confirm, but I'll bet you could contact Infant Optics and confirm with them. Sorry I can't be of more help!
Worth pointing out that this guide shows an older version of the DXR-8 (2014 printed on the PCB) where the microUSB port uses through-hole leads to connect to the board. Mine is a few years newer and the port was surface-mounted, which requires more skill and care to replace. I ended up ordering the part myself and taking it to a repair shop for them to do the soldering.
