Hello
A couple of days ago I fell onto my Pi and bent some of the internals of the top right USB connector that had a thumbdrive inserted. When I unplugged the thumbdrive today, I found that it had retained the plastic portion of the Pi's connector that usually protects the pins.
I have since gouged and pried the piece from the thumbdrive, but I'm left with a dodgy connector on the Pi. There is an iFixit guide on how to replace a single connector on a different Pi by desoldering the board pads and resoldering a new connector.
My question is can anyone please point me at the part I need? I'm sure it's generic and inexpensive, I'm just having trouble sourcing the component in the UK. Can I buy it directly from Raspberry?
Thanks
