Hi all,
My boy has a gaming laptop and he has destroyed all the usb ports so all the metal tabs are bent..
Anyone know who could sort this? I have phoned a few places and have been told it's a specialist thing?

Its an a Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45

Thanks Luke

Found a local repair guy who micro solders, he has ordered the parts and is going to cost £150...

Thanks for all the replys

That's a lot of paper rounds to cover that cost, lol!

This time is a freebee, next time its coming out of his savings... I am partially to blame as i should have shown him the right way really.... Now there is no excuse...
