Using a pair of tweezers, unlatch the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) fastener that connects the ribbon cable to the board.

If you're able to solder, you can find micro USB ports on Digi-Key.
Forgot to confirm the pin count while mine was taken apart, but would bet it's similar to many common ports such as PN: 10118194-0001LF
