This part was specifically provided to me by retrogamerepairshop.com for the purposes of this video. You can grab one for yourself here: https://retrogamerepairshop.com/collections/game-boy-advance-sp/products/gba-sp-game-boy-advance-sp-charger-port-repair-part-for-nintendo-gba-sp-ds?variant=31866431307850 if you want or you can probably grab one on aliexpress or ebay for a bit cheaper (albeit not much and with much greater shipping times but if you're outside the US, it's probably the way to go). Either way, I do not recommend this part unless you absolutely need it. Bending the pins to line up properly is tedious and frustrating. 

If you're sure that the port is damaged, you can probably remove it much easier by just taking flush cutters to the pins to remove the port and then removing the pins after. 

Surprisingly, the USB C mod is significantly easier to install. Check out my video on that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBLHvdre-Xg
