The black plastic spacer broke and fell out of the front panel UsB port on my Dell desktop.
Can I simply find/buy the part somewhere (scavenge from a flash drive?) and slide it on to repair?

* Didn't see another place to ask such a question.

Thanks

Will using the port cause a short or other problem?
