I have a western digital portable hard drive that i use all the time and love. Problem is the port where you plug in the usb cable broke off inside the casing. I contacted western digital and they informed me they do not repair anything out of Warranty (figures). All they could suggest was to find someone that could do data retrieval and buy a new drive. I just want to know if I can fix my old one?!?!?

Answer
If it's just that the USB connector came off, then most any PC repair place should be able to solder one back on. It's just four dang wires. It's not brain surgery, more like toenail clipping.
