where do you get the replacement parts for charging port
Since HP does not supply the replacement ribbon, or many other parts for that matter, it is easiest to search on eBay and/or Craigslist for the parts needed. I found that the UK version of Amazon and eBay offer the best availability for such parts.

Thank you so much ifixit.com! Paid an extortionate £24.99 for a replacement cable on Amazon, then used a Torx 4 to do the necessary, following your superb instructions. Worked a treat and my daughter's Slate7 is now charging. Still cheaper than a new tablet (and I hate throwing things away that are all-but working). If it helps anybody, the packet that my replacement came in had the following part numbers: 749770-001 and 729883-001 (these are HP part numbers).
Here's a somewhat simpler approach that may work for you as well.
I found, that once I got the back off, the charger seemed to work better. I think, with the back off it gave the frame a little more flexibility, and allowed me to push the USB charger in a little tighter and make better contact. That told me, that the internal mirco USB port and cable were OK, but just not making good contact with my charger.
So, I sealed up the tablet, and using a sharp knife, I shaved a bit of the rubber insulation off the end of my USB charger. That allowed for more of the metal end to stick out and make better contact.
For the moment, it seems to be working, and saves mucking around with the inside of the tablet.
Cheers!
How do these steps correlate to the hd version of the slate7?
Guide was excellent and replaced power strip. Unfortunately device is still dead. Is it worth replacing battery, or should the device work with a dead battery anyway as the power connects direct to the motherboard
Mine too, have you found a fix, yet?
Instructions very clear, thank you.
I got both the usb harness and a set screw drivers for less than £18. Unit hopfully now fixed.
On the HP 10 Plus 2201 there are no head screws. I used the spudger to 'carefully' separate the case. There are little snaps on the inside of case that will separate with little pressure on spudger.

I used these directions to replace HP Plus 10 2201 battery. I bypassed speaker installation.
