Is there a way to figure out my LED board and fix it myself? I got this LED light which works perfectly but the issue is the usb charger port on the left is not working for whatever reason. There are two ports one micro for charging the led and one usb for outlet charging. Is there a way to switch the charging to the usb port? If you guys have any resources for learning I would appreciate it too, I will get my feet wet and hopefully figure it out myself…

Could you share a picture? I'm having trouble imagining what you are describing

There is like a multitude of possible reasons.

Can you open it up, without destroying or damaging it?

If so, you would need a multimeter to trace, which components are broken and maybe you can repair them.

After opening up, it might also be obvious what's the problem.

Most likely it's just a worn out micro usb port, which are usually super shitty.
