Yes, the USB connector is a known weakness of the FP1. Fairphone only ever offered a full motherboard (120 €) as a spare part (the USB connector is soldered to it), but that is currently unavailable and it is uncertain whether it will be back in stock. However, some repair shops have been able to successfully solder a new USB connector to the main board. You might have to acquire the spare USB connector on your own and provide it to the repair shop though.
