Over to the computer repair shop. Blackberry tablets, as suggested online, not high on anyone\s repair list. Try other shop to see if BB transfer cord will fit. Short answer is no, and some difficulty preventing young salesman from compounding the damage by repeating original offence with fragile port. Home to much googling, with the result that I discover a rapid travel charger (presumably the rapidity applying to the charge and not the mode of transport) which attaches magnetically to avoid damage to ports.
