Hi all,
While disconnecting the USB 3.0 header cable from my motherboard, one of the pins came clean off.
The board is an Asus Z270i https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/ROG-Strix-Z270I-Gaming/
The pin came clean off as in there is no remains of the pin protruding from the board.
All USB ports on the board are no longer functioning as they are no longer detected within Windows.
The specific pin that has been removed is the GND pin.
Actual damage

I have basic soldering skills - can anyone give me any advice on how to get my board repaired?
Thank you for reading
