Damage USB Cord (Canon Hd 25)

Student has reported that after checking out the equipment that USB component is bent. Rendering it unable to connect with camera's usb port.

Email sent to FADLAB:
I am writing this to report a previously damaged USB cable 25. As I was about to connect the cable to the camera, I realized the end that connects to the camera was bent and cannot fit into the port on the camera. This was the first time I had taken it out of the case since I borrowed it.

Email has been replied, stating: to bring in the damage component immediately. And to use her own USB cable if possible to reduce anymore damage.
