Scroll through and see if you can find one where the position of the mounting lugs on the case of the connector match the position on the connector in your device.

Here’s a link to the Ifixit [[Topic:Spin Master Boxer]] guides that should help you to gain access to the connector.
You will need smd soldering tools and skills to effect the repair.
If doing this yourself seems too daunting contact a reputable, professional electronics repair service and ask for a quote. Hopefully they may even have a compatible connector in stock.
