Not much you can do besides not use the port. Does the one beside it still work?

use another usb port? Not entirely sure what your problem is here...

Are you saying that the plastic inside of the socket broke off and instead of having the prongs mounted in plastic they are just hanging in the open?

If that is what it is there is not much you can do about it.

i did not know what to do... i wanted advice i guess... the one beside it does not work... but the one that is missing the black plastic thing all the prongs are pushed towards the back... should i try to pull them out or leave them

it might be better to just buy an add-on card with some usb 2.0 ports on it.....and if you need more link an external base to the card you add.
