Hey I have a pod hd500 and my usb port seemed to have stopped functioning. Looks like the central insulating piece is missing resulting in the 2 of the four pins being bent inwards. I was curious to record my new track and now this! -_-

Now as I see it I have 3 options:

1. Fix the pins myself(I really dont want to to do this since Im not much of a pro with electronics or boards)

2. My warranty is yet not over so is this issue covered under warranty? Will they replace the port?

3. Buy the port separately and get it fixed by a professional as I found that the port is very similiar to my HP printers usb port. Is the port available separately in the market?

Please help! I badly want to commence recording.
