My Zune's usb port is busted

[J-Dawg520]

My Zune's USB port is busted, which means I can't charge it or transfer music to it. Is it possible to fix this, and if so, how?? "Cuz I don't have $250 for a new one right now.

Thanx, James

The USB port is directly connected to the Mainboard of the Zune, and you would need a new mainboard. Rapid Repair (http://www.rapidrepair.com) can replace that mainboard (http://www.rapidrepair.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=3030_Microsoft_Zune_LogicBoard&Category_Code=) for half the price, $119. This would get you back up and on your feet with your media player.
