computer death

[orisons]

I have managed to kill part of my computer, the computer itself is a Packard Bell club 90, and the part I've killed is the usb port on the front(side )of the computer, what is this part called, and where can you suggest I get one,
cheers

What exactly do you mean by "killed"? Is it physically damaged, or has it just stopped working? If it isn't working it might have been disabled in device manager.

I don't think you will be able to replace the USB port if it is broken. If it is original to the computer it is probably integraterd into the motherboard. What you could do is buy a PCI expansion card USB Port from almost any computer store.

There is no way a USB connector built in to the front of the computer case is integrated on the motherboard. It most likely has a cable going from the connector to a USB header on the motherboard. In that case, just pick up a different USB connector. They make them that fit in a drive bay. Or, if yours is built right into the case, you will have to go to the case manufacturer for a replacement.
