Port is probably toast. I have done it once as well plugging in a PS/2 cable while a PC was on without grounding it first.

Welcome to the world of USB.

It is remotely possible that there is a surface mount fuse that could be replaced, but depending on the PC, it will probably cost more to replace than the PC is worth. And more likely than not, you blew the controller chip.

If it is under warranty, they will probably replace the entire motherboard.
