😮 My USB port broke when i put in a new PNY 8 GB drive into the Macbook Air's right USB drive. I looked and saw a broken connector inside (1 of 4). How can I purchased and replace this USB port. Maybe a 3.0 USB?
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,

I suggest you take your Mac to an Apple store genius bar for evaluation. A USB 3 replacement will be out of the question. You may be shocked at the repair cost. If I am correct, the port is an integral part of the logic board.
Ciao.

Maybe not. Check http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Air. The OP should select his/her MBA model and look for the Port Hatch Assembly or I/O Board.
