Dell Lattitude 7424 Broken USB-C Port
Hello!
I run a dell rugged extreme as my main computer, and have linux installed. All is well! However, after plugging in a friends power adapter to test it (it turned out to be broken), my USB-C port has stopped working. This isn't the end of the world, since I can still charge with a good old-fashoned 19V barrel power, but I'd like to fix it.
The port shows up to the operating system, but does not provide power to devices plugged into it, nor can it receive power. I have tried cleaning it.
I strongly suspect that the physical port itself is damaged, and would like to replace it. I'm comfortable (ish) with taking things apart and soldering them, but I would like to have the right part before I get started. I've found a few posts on here about this laptop:

However, there are two problems with the boardview posted. First, while I was able to hunt down a viewer capable of opening the file (Allegro Viewer 16.6), I can't easily figure out how to show the details of components. Second, and more importantly, the board linked in the above posts doesn't actually seem to be the mainboard of a lattitude 7424: if you look at the images in the service manual, you'll see it looks quite different.

TLDR: What part number should I buy to replace the physical USB-C connector on a Dell 7424?
Thank you!
