james burkey, If port is found to be bad/loose/damaged , this is really not a repair for the inexperienced because the charge port for your device is soldered to the mother board and the heat generated could cause further damage if not very careful. I will post a link to a tear down guide to get you inside the tablet to check the charge port and will also post a link showing what is involved in repairing a mini USB attached to the board(not your model, would be pretty much same process) in case you would like to give it a go. If not wanting to do the repair yourself have a good computer/cell phone repair shop have a look and estimate repair. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

My local phone / computer repair shop just confirmed for me that the solder used to connect the micro USB port to the motherboard is a higher temperature solder than what's used for the other components, intentionally to make it darn hard (nearly impossible) to replace this “wear item” in order to sell more devices.
This shop won't even attempted this repair any longer after several failed attempts and they consider themselves experts at micro soldering.
Sucks that phone companies have all figured out this dirty little bit of truth (that we are not surgically precise in our connecting and disconnecting our cords) and so they are getting away with building in and selling planned failure.
