It’s a €20 / 5 minute fix on the MacBook to swap out the USB daughterboard. The solution framework uses takes up a lot of space and doesn’t really help you if you short out the port or drop the laptop on its side.

As far as I can tell, Apple doesn't sell the daughterboards so you have to go spelunking for salvaged parts with your macbook. I can get all my first-party brand-new replacement parts at https://frame.work/marketplace .

It is available as a first party repair part for €16.20 via https://selfservicerepair.eu/

Apple part number is 923-03553

Also available third party via various retailers.

Ah I didn't know Apple put their repair parts under a different domain. I stand corrected!
