As the port was broken inside I bought online a new port and solder it in place of the old one. Still the USB port don't recognize any device. It detects the device but then it says that there is a problem installing new device. It is not drivers problem, I tried 4 different operating systems, including Linux. There is a voltage on the port of 5V.

What could I do next? I don't have any schematics for this board. How to know if some capacitors or resistors that usb port uses are maybe broken as well?
