Depends on how technically minded and confident you are. The Starlight Xpress cameras are simplistic in design so you could carefully remove the back cover and have a look at how the plug is connected. It may be connected by a few wires to a push in connector on a circuit board. If so you could contact Starlight about a replacement plug assembly. If it is a soldered plug it requires a bit more skill to replace. It wont hurt to remove the back to take a peek...otherwise the only option is to return it to the manufacturer for repair.
