I tripped over the cord going into the computer and I ended up snapping the USB port on the cable after the third day of having an Oculus Rift.
The HDMI port however didnt break, but when I plug my HDMI into my rift, Oculus Setup doesnt detect that HDMI is plugged in. Shouldnt it still detect the HDMI but obviously not the USB? I'm just afraid I broke the port that plugs into the Headset. I have a new cable coming in next weekend so I wont know until then.

Stay optimistic and hope that the new cable fixes everything...
Good luck!
...Right??? I'd rather spend $200 on just replacing the headset....
You should be able to do that but you can’t.
Try contacting cybereality to find out your options.
Sounds like the port, not the cable.
I'd be tempted to look at iFixit's tear-down of the Rift and decide if buying a cheap damaged/faulty Rift is an option and swapping over the offending circuit board/socket. Assuming that the second-hand Rift you buy doesn't have a USB fault.
Open a support ticket first though if you haven't already & get their advice.
English can be so complicated.
In that case, definitely replace the cable... no-brainer.
