What internal port broke, the sata port itself?

If the device in general is still under warranty, then I would try to RMA the unit.

However if not and as long as the drive itself is in working condition and in one piece, you should be able to carefully yank the drive out and connect it via some external drive case or directly connected to your computer.

You can actually go one step further and copy all the contents off the drive, then get yourself an external case for it.

Hope this helps.
