> torx screws not hex

You are so right! Thank you so much!

Though I've seen, worked with, and even have some bigger torx drivers in my drill driver set, it never occurred to me what those particular screw heads were called, nor did it occur to me that it is what's in my mod.

Also, if anyone else is ever in need of a cheaply priced torx screwdriver set, I found this one on Amazon for $8.99, which has 24 batch head sizes :)
Sure its the port and not the cord? I'd try another cord to make sure. Also contact [email protected]
If you want to mess with replacing it here is a port:
micro usb
You're asking a question that seems rather simple on your end but actually has a really wide scope of investigation. You're looking for a yes or no answer to your "is this safe?" question but the best I can give you is "it certainly should be". Scroll down to the end for the "final" answer.
> Presumably an EC approved device will not be giving off 'dirty current'.
I think you mean "CE", as reflected in your original post. If this is the case, be wary. Many Chinese-produced goods are now using the "CE" symbol without actual compliance in the required testing.
> But not being an electrician or an electronics buff I only understood the last sentence. It is not a specific answer in relation to the mvp 4.
Sure it is. It applies to all electronics operating on Direct Current charging from a Direct Current Power Supply. Nearly anything with a battery that charges off a "wall wart" power supply fits this description, your prospective MVP included.
> Does this device 'draw only the current required to operate'?
Again, my answer applies to all DC-operated consumer electronics. Your MVP is no different from your Cell Phone, or your Nintendo Switch.
>The word 'should' worries me
It should. Get it? Alright, enough of my poor jokes.
The reality we live in today where a staggeringly high percentage of consumer electronics are produced offshore with little to no safety oversight is that this is the best answer I can give you. "It Should". Any number of contributing factors might cause device failure from charging off an "unapproved" (if one could call any power supply "approved" to begin with) power supply.
Some examples include:
If you want to do some additional investigation yourself, go online and by an inline USB multimeter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Diymore-Charging-Detector-Voltmeter-Multimeter/dp/B01L6Y3IMK/
Plug the male end of it into a few different power supplies and plug your devices into the female end. Try to use the shortest USB cables available to you, as they will not suffer from voltage drop as badly (although switching between long and short cables will actually illustrate what I mean by "voltage drop")
Observe the meter. USB Spec power is for 5V but a device may draw as much current as it requires, up to the maximum supplied by the power supply. How much is your device actually drawing? Many devices say they will charge at 2 Amps, but that is in laboratory conditions. Many times, 1.2 - 1.5 Amps is common. Is the Voltage remaining constant? A power supply will often supply more than 5V before the load is attached, so that when the load is attached, it actually sags down into the correct range of ~5V. It's normal to see the Voltage fluctuate a little bit. Maybe a range of 4.9-5.1V is normal, but any more or less than that could be potentially harmful to your device. Try a cheap power supply from a gas station, now try a quality one (perhaps the one that came with a Samsung/LG/Apple smartphone). Observe the differences.
The long and short of my answer is that if the device you're attempting to charge says it can charge at 2A USB (5V), plugging it into a 2.4A USB power supply should not damage it. If it is damaged by this operation, either the power supply or the device was defective by design or manufacture to begin with. Sorry for the wall of words.
