I just bought a new TIU and when I went to plug in the WIU I found this in the new female plug on the new TIU. Top pic is the old TIU and the new TIU is on the bottom. Iβm holding the plug that should plug into the new TIU. Any ideas? Thanks.

You pulled the guts of the USB port out of the connector on the old TIU, and it's stuck in your cable end. You will need a new USB port in the old TIU. I hope that's just a standard USB connector, I haven't had to replace one of those yet.
Using your small needlenose pliers, pull that center piece out of the cord plug and it'll work in the new TIU. Below is what a USB B plug should look like.
OK John iβll Check it out. Thanks.
Worked like a charm! Thanks John.
Now you just need a new connector for the old TIU.
I've done that and had the USB port replaced. Its just the USB port for a printer. GGG did it for me if you need a reference for the repair.
It's easy to do the repair if you can find the right part.
