Here’s an image of the socket, it’s the ‘input’ that doesn’t work

Hey guys since i’m not valid for warranty how should I go about fixing this thing?

Difficult to say.
Seems it needs some kind of micro surgery.
You may try to “straighten” the dents with tiny screwdrivers and tweezers.

If your handy you can open up the powerbank… But I warn you that you will most likely destroy the casing trying to do so. But if that doesn’t deter you, then proceed on and open her up.

Once you get the casing open, you will need:

  1. a replacement micro USB port
  2. Soldering iron
  3. Dewicking soldering sleeve or bulb…
  4. Electronic grade solder, I like to use silver but it cost more

Once you have everything proceed with caution, use the soldering iron and heat up the solder where the old USB port is and use the dewicking sleeve or bulb to remove that solder once heated up. After you have the old port off, align the new port and solder it into place… Make sure that you get a good solid connection and do NOT leave any cold joints.
