How to replace USB port on Lenovo Yoga 720-151KB?

[sunshinecurls]

Can it be replaced by itself? How hard is it?

I've opened the back & saw the USB port. I can't tell if it's integrated onto the main board. Or is it kind of underneath, if I lift up that part of the mainboard (or the whole thing).

What's the part number? I don't see it in the maintenance guide on Lenovo's site:

I'd rather know what I'm aiming for before I call Lenovo (it's otherwise under warantee.)

The story:
I had a USB drive get stuck in the port. In the process of getting it out I physically damaged the "chip" that's part of the port (I'm an idiot but that's another story). Now nothing can slide in. It has to be replaced. The computer is new, so I don't want to live without this port.

Any clues or help? Thanks!

The USB ports are soldered to the system board. Unfortunately, you'll have to have the system board replaced. It's very rare that an individual component on the system board can be replaced. Maybe Lenovo will take pity on you and replace the system board under warranty.
