USB Power Cable with Long-range Wireless Receiver

My Roku streaming Stick+ stopped working.  I discovered it was due to the  USB Power Cable with Long-range Wireless Receiver.  This plugs into the stick.  My Samsung tv HDMI inputs all require that the  Stick is plugged into the tv HDMI such that the USB Power Cable with Long-range Wireless Receiver cord is coming out of the top of the Stick (upward), so that it then flops/hangs down via gravity.  I discovered that the cable that connects it to the Stick wore and developed a tear right at the stress point where it flops downward after the connection to the Stick.  I feel this is a defect, and dont think i should have to pay $20 for a replacement.  Ideas?  Fixable?

My Roku Power Stick Plus cable also stopped working.  Won't consistently deliver power to stick no matter what the power source.  Using another mini USB cable delivers power fine, but then no WiFi signal because the antenna is not present.  Just bought this and first time trying Roku, so unhappy.  May have to go back to Fire Stick . . . .

 

My Roku's sn is 22513A484124

My Roku receive wire broke also.  Maybe it was a defective batch.  How can I get a replacement.
