If it's something like a tiny dab of badly-applied solder on a surface-mount connector somewhere having failed under the stress of repeated heating-cooling cycles, it would be hard to spot just by looking. Factory defects happen, unfortunately. Do check the contacts inside the port for excessive filth or physical damage if you haven't already, but it doesn't seem likely that that would make the port fail with a device already connected to it, unless something got jostled.
