Well i would suggest that you went to the local computer store and they can get it out.. I would also register this on Microsoft to say that you have a metal tooth in the computers USB Hub..,. They will love it, i would also take some pictures.. i would realy like to see it here at the Yahoo Answers computer technology department!





Thanks all the best

Reply:If this is on a laptop, you have big trouble. A USB port on a desktop is fairly easy to replace. Not so with a laptop. You can call around to various repair shops and see what they would charge you to replace the port.
