Do other devices work when you plug them into that port?

When did it start happening, you could try a recovery to a date just prior to it happening, but as mind reader 7 says, most likely a broken data wire in the socket or a cold solder joint that as parted, you've got to be careful with usb wires, if the data and the power come in contact the short can damage the motherboard, if you can't get to work, might be a good idea to disconnect it internally. Choice is yours.

If I may
throw my 5c here. It would be old news that some contacts on the port wore out and are not making good contact, Gently squeezing metal around the mouth of the port so a device could fit tighter should at least temporally fix that. As all the USB ports of the same kind are connected to the same controller problem could be only physical contact. There are no settings either in BIOS or windows that can control just one USB connector so if my medicine doesn't fix it you can kiss it goodby. In that case get an external hub or extension cord, plug it in an working port and presto !!!
