Hi

Remove battery and psu
Get a bright light and magnifying glass and look into faulty USB port

There may be a bent piece of metal causing a short circuit and stopping the laptop booting

If the bent metal can be moved the system may work again

Then put some gaffer tape or insulating tape over the broken USB port

If this does not work go to a laptop specialist
