M6 - Replacement PC Socket? (Not the cap)

Hi Friends! After a night out with my M6, I noticed that the sync socket had disappeared. Not the plastic cover mind you, but the whole dang thing! I've searched around online and on this forum but I can't find much about a replacement. It's gaffer taped up for now but I'd like to replace it. I could just send to YYE but figured I'd check here first. IMG_7840.HEIC

You will still need to send it to someone who can replace it. Youxin is a good choice.

I imagine you've lost the retaining ring and the socket itself has fallen inside the top cover. It's a fairly easy thing to fix if you have some tools and a replacement ring. Essentially you need a set of clamp spanners and a screwdriver set to take the top cover off, plus a YouTube video on how to do it.

Really appreciate the tips, I ordered the parts and will give it a go!
