Agreed. Seems like an odd thing to break. However, I am appalled at the number of people I see that "wiggle" USB cables when they pull them out. That can very easily break the solder joints that hold the port to the PCB. Just pull the thing out with one single motion exactly the opposite way you instered it.

Perhaps if you know someone that is a bit handy with electronics they can open it up and check the solder joints on the USB port and resolder them if they are broken.
