USB-A broken, can I update firmware another way?

I purchased a used Mini+ and when it arrived the USB-A port was not working. I am able to use it with the Micro USB port and my pc/octoprint. It is running old firmware and I want to update it. Is there a way via pc or octoprint to push the firmware so I don't have to replace the board (which is out of stock, and my soldering skills are non-existent yet)?

RE:

There's a Octoprint plugin to do just that, IIRC Firmware Updater.

Also, although I don't have a Mini, isn't there an option to turn the USB on and off?

I've tried the octoprint firmware updater with no success. I'm assuming its a configuration issue but I have no idea how to set it up, and the wiki hasn't helped much either.
