Hi there, My thunderbolt and USB port have had a rough time with a card reader (overheat) and I can’t read any device plugged in anymore. My Macbook pro won’t recognise anything I plug in (beside the magsafe of course) What are my options ? Because it seems I have to change the motherboard since they are tied to it ? Pardon my english… Thank you ! Marine

I would recommend replacing the thunderbolt port. The connections to the thunderbolt may have been damaged or disconnected due to yanking or rough pulling of cord originally connected to thunderbolt.
