Hi

I just managed to damage my USB port on my R31. The one on the back.

I pushed my wireless stick in too hard and it now wont pick up
anything in the port. Luckily I am not totally scuppered as I do have
a side port too and push comes to shove I have a USB 2 PCMCIA card.

The back port is not totally broken. It seems the plastic bit has been
pushed in. Is it possible to repair it?
