Maybe availeble on Ebay !
Take it to a local service!

Unfortunately, I'm not being filled with optimism. I called a repair shop and said that there's a 90% chance of the repair not being successful.

Don't lose hope. I thought the same thing about my N9.. turned out that the USB port was just misshapen.
Are the "straight" sides still straight or are they curved? If curved you may be able to gently massage them back in to shape. I think I did it with a Swiss Army Knife with a tiny blade but I can't remember as it was some months ago. Anyhow, it works and charges without problems.
Also, be sure to use the right cable. My N9 won't charge with the Nokia 710 charger or the N900 cable I have and has always been picky about cables and chargers.
Be gentle with the port, it's the Achille's Heel of the phone (other than Elop). Let us know how it goes.

If the whole usb is loose, inclusive the metal casing, that's when you have a problem!

Thank you for all your help!
Now I need to find a reputable repair shop in the UK that will do this.
Now I need to find a reputable repair shop in the UK that will do this.
My N9 has about 3% battery life. I really don't know what to do. Worst thing is, two of the torx screws are stripped and so I cannot fully disassemble the phone.
Can someone help me please.
