Thanks Manal. That is sad
I wanted to keep using it as long as its board worked. I don't have the tools to do a swap and i dunno how much they will charge for this. I guess i will ask a friend for the use of his solder iron and glass to do the job after i have asked for service charge from xiaomi repair shop (to be frank, im apprehensive about handing over the set to them beyond warranty. I guess they don't have much incentive to help me keep using the set. but i may be wrong).

I think it started after someone forced an older shorter port of some other phone cable into it.

I would suggest you go to Xaomi service center to repair(if you are willing to) because of those "street repairers" would just loot you with poor quality hardware.
