From memory, the Aura HD is a little harder to open than other Kobo devices. There was a lot of talk about it when the device was first released, so a search should find it. Try looking for posts by @Ken Maltby.

The USB port could be replaced. But, doing it without damaging anything else needs some skill. Depending on what is wrong, it might be possible to reattach the port. Neither are something I would attempt as I know my skills with a soldering iron are not good enough.
