Looking for info to replace usb ports/ or info. on if the usb ports don't work if they just need to be replaced or is there a bigger problem, something else that would make them not work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The USB ports are part of the logic board, it's all one piece and you'll have to replace the whole thing.

So. Is this a task I can take on myself?
I feel like I can work on about anything with the right tools and some instruction.
