Had the pK on my lap earlier. It slipped off and landed on the USB cable end, bending the port. now it's borked. Just opened it up and from the looks of it it can be fixed with a replacement port and some soldering. It's a type B connector. Anyone know where I could get one cheaply? Not online in my new place til tuesday, and trying to find a seller on my phone is awkward at best. Any ideas? Cheers
