>>435131if you have exhausted other possibilities,
get a light source, aim at female usb-a port, stick going at an angle from the side stick the thin needle bellow one of the middle two contacts, bend the needle down a bit so that the contact bends a bit up, do same for other middle contact
the port should look like pic related where the contacts protrude, from the plastic substrate they are in, just a bit, enough to make a good reliable connection.
do not over strain the pins! gud luck
