You talk about a USB port problem, then show us photos of an Apple USB drive. Please explain your issue more clearly.
I suggest you get it repaired at an Apple Authorized Service Center (a.k.a. third-party repair shop) and take a little more care when you are using USB peripherals and cables.
I've used PCs with USB ports for well over a decade and I have never broken an USB port. What the hell are you doing to snap pins?

Thank you. I didn't understand what I was seeing. Looked like a nick out of the USB casing. Might have been clearer if a picture of the USB port in question was shown.
Agreed! Bad luck or abuse?cvaldes said:
