I Bought THE Spectrum but it's had a PRIOR REPAIR Attempt | Can I Fix It?

I picked this Retro Games The Spectrum up from off eBay for £50. I've been wanting one for ages, and this one seemingly has a problem with the USB-C power port.

Let's take a look inside and see if we can get this thing working again!

Hope you enjoy!
Steve

PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.
