Neither of those look quite right; but I realized that the EBay motherboard was actually fairly cheap (which makes sense, since its somewhat defective); so I just went ahead and ordered it. I'll keep this post updated with any more details I get, but I think this is the easiest way to replace the port; and I'll have spare parts for if another component goes bad.

Without fully removing the motherboard (which i'd like to avoid until its time to repair, as the laptop still works and motherboard removal also requires heat sink removal), the best I can do is picture of the shield that goes over the connector. Obviously, it's a little bit tricky to spot the pinout from this position. I've attached pictures from Dell's service manual, which shows the part zoomed-in and with the shield, as well as cropped from an ebay-listing, which shows it blurry but without the shield.

I went looking on Northridge Repairs website, but found nothing that looked...

Bump! Open to any ideas on how to ID the port, even.

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...
