Toshiba external hard drive usb port not working has broken plastic off the pins I have managed to get power on but wont load data. Would appreciate help.
 
If I understood correctly, the enclosure's USB port is broken.
In that case, your best bet would be to remove the HDD from the enclosure and then 1. plug it directly to a motherboard using SATA cables (power+data), or 2. use an external HDD dock (drop-in type) to plug you HDD in, then connect the dock via USB to your PC.
