Xperia X10 :: Broken Glue On Connector?

My phone stopped charging one day so I sent it in to Sony.They sent it back saying "physical damage, glue on connector broken".Now this phone is only a few months old.It has never been dropped or anything.If there was any damage to the connector, it came from plugging it in in a normal manner.So I called them back up and said that there is no way I caused any damage to the phone.The customer service person said that he would resubmit it and that I would hear back from them in 24 hours.

3 days later after hearing nothing, I called them and the guy told me that nothing was ever resubmitted and that they don't even do that.SO Sony sold me a phone that broke under 2 months of normal use, refuses to fix the problem, and then told me something completely untrue just to get me off the phone.That being said, has anyone had the glue break on their phone and is there anyway to fix it? I could deal with doing the battery swap and recharge thing but I really want to be able to update to gingerbread.
