Please I have a JBL XTREME that sparks each time I plug it. What could be the cause

Hi. Can someone advise where a replacement charging port can be sourced? I.e., so I can desolder the existing one and solder a new one in its place. The existing one is badly corroded so the unit won't charge. Thanks Andy
