Thanks so much,

I intend ordering it from Amazon, because I have a friend in america now that can collect the package. Not everything ships to South Africa.

Regarding the tech installation, its not that hard, I'll take it to a repair store with the part.

yeh, I'm just struggling to understand the part name, and if I need the flex cable too or just the miniUSB docking port. , And what about the mini HDMI next to it, shouldnt I just replace them both?

Oh, yes of course, I've tried charging it many ways with different cables. I do know that the way it was being used, constantly charging all the time, was going to break the port. And I've had it for many years. These things happen.

But its a product bought from the UK, and its impossible to send it back to the UK for a replacement credit, cause you have to pay your own shipping on the trade-in. I'll just fix it.
