can anyone please help, I'm looking for the connector at the base of an XDA 11, as mine is not working, I've been told that the connectors off the ipaq 3800 & 3900 will also work on my XDA 11, so does anyone know were I can get hold of one...........................
go to e bay type in xda and there are lots cheep
Do you mean the whole base unit or the mains charger piece.
RE: connector
Hi wessy123,
If you look at the bottom of the XDA2 there is a connector plug to charge the phone in the dock also to Activesync the pda to your comp, that's the part that I'm looking for as mine is goosed, can you help ? have you got one spare ?
Put XDA on e-bay there are loads of cheap charge/sync cables i buggered mine cost £3 to replace it.
Its not the sync cable he needs, I think he needs an old xda or ipaq 3800 series motherboard so he can desolder the connector and resolder to his own motherboard.
re: connector Plug
The part that I'm looking for is the Connector Plug itself , that's connected to the motherboard, if you look at the bottom of the XDA2 you can see the plug.... inside the plug is a row of very fine connectors , on mine they are broken.
I can sell you charging/synch connector for $20 US
connector by itself so you don't have to use soldering tool to take it off the ipaq motherboard
PM me if interested

This is probably a fairly simple problem for you guys.
The connector on the bottom of my XDA2 appears to have come dislodged.
It has been getting harder and harder to get it to charge recently but with a bit of pressure in one direction it appeared to charge OK.
That is until my GF plugged it in to charge and now its totaly dislodged.
I think the socket has broken free from its soldered terminals into the PCB inside the XDA2.
Is there a quick fix anyone can suggest (I am a qualified Electronic Engineer and can solder) or is there a repair centre (hopefully near Newcastle upon tyne (North East UK).
PLEASE someone HELP!!!!

i have the same problem, but i got the pin chart from here, and wired a charge hole on the outside. now i can only sync via IR. lot slower that usb. for some reason, the solder wont hold the same plug the way the manufacter did.
good luck.

Pin Diagram for XDA 2 Connector
Where on here can I get pin connector.
Also where can I get tool to unscrew back off XDA2 so I can try and repair myself
Tom
1) use the search function. it's on wiki.xda-developers.com
2) you seem pretty unsure of yourself for a EE qualified engineer. Why, where does one obtain a torx screwdriver? A T6 will do.
We get this alot at work and use these guys. email them on

And no i have nothing to do with them
Possible solution
Hello,
I have the same problem and have managed the following solution to be able to charge the device with "a connector", its working perfect for me:
Note: You will lost some headset-functionality, I have tested that no internal components are affected, because the PIN used for power supply is cutted from the mainboard.
Disasemble the Device completely to have the main circuit board in the hand free from other coponents to be able to solder properly.
Buy a 4-contacts mini-jack connector (2.5mm)
Cut the Power Supply cable Power-Jack to replace it with the Mini-Jack (Image2 and Image4 )
Solder a cable to the 3 last ping of the base connector (Image1)
Cut (with Dremel for example...) one of the connectors of the Jack soldered on the mainboard (Image 3 and Image5)
Solder the cable that comes from the Base connector to the onboard Jack (Image 3 and 5) This is to get positive power from the Jack connector to the right place on the mainboard.
I hope this is enough, if you need more details please let me know.
Regards,
I have the same problem, though I am able to charge my qtek 2020 by putting it in one direction.
I am thinking about soldering a femal mini-usb port using pins 13,20,21,22 for positive power, 16,17,18 for ground, and 14,15 for UDC+ and UDC-. Has anyone managed to do this ?
Aw crap. Same thing's just happened to my XDA. The connector at the base has snapped. It's still connected (barely) but charging and data transfer won't work.
Is there any way to replace the connector with a mini-usb port at all or an alternative method that doesn't require me to send my phone out for 3 days?

Please help me out to find pinout for standard USB sync cable. I have Windows PH10B phone and I bought Qtec 2020 sync cable on ebay and unfortunately it doesn't charge and doesn't sync.
Thank you,

Hi
I'm looking for USB in extension port or somewhere else on the mainboard becouse it's been dameged under the sync/charge port and I need to rewire USB from somewhere else. Also does anybody know why joystick don't work ? mechanicly it's perfect so I have no idea.
Anyone? Please help...
Hallo, I have the same Problem. I have only few soldering pads of connector after the connector is cracked out. But if you kann see, evtl. under microscope, there are little holes, which connects to the pads, if the pads are OK. I measured some pads and found the following points . See pictures..
I has not tested the functionality yet! because i have no connector yet -->Caution! If you or somebody could still check the Pins again, would be great! Because I have no second Board and I cannot be sure with 100%.
Hey ppl
I've just broke my bottom connector for the second time - by using a car plug. This connector is so weak...
I thought of resoldering it with a miniUSB connector, has anyone tried it? It would be better IMHO.

wallaby and himalaya share connector as i'm using my wallaby cradle
so guess if you wire it to a miniusb it would work just fine too
Thanks, good man
I've also found this article in Wiki
OK, as for now I have resoldered my connector (again...). But - one pin is lost. D+. So, I can charge it, but not synchronize
So, I have to either find a new connector, or mount this miniUSB connector.
Hi all,
I have a CHT 9000, and the mini usb charge cable just wont charge it.
After inspection, I determined the source of the problem - damaged mini usb port pins, bent and loose, that cable wont even touch the pins to charge...
I need to know how to replace that mini usb charge port connector...
Thanks

Thankfully that is a part which is relatively easy to solder. Armed with a fine point soldering iron it's not too difficult at all. If I remember it has either 2 or 4 soldered anchor points and then of course the fine connections at the back end.
You may find a new port online or buy up a device that is being parted out.
For full functionality you need the 11 pin type (Not the 4 or 5 pin). See here:

Hi all
Any reason why an after market car usb adapter isnt able to recharge the streak?
Or it there one that can ?
It's because it isn't putting out enough power. I read a post about this a while ago, but forgot which forum, basically to get it to put out enough power you're gonna need to connect the two middle pins on the adapter. If it's easy to open then do that and solder the two middle pins and you should be good to go. I have a belkin one that I had to do this to

Hi ipguy,
Think fone_fanatic was refering to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719815
Like he said, you need to solder the two middle pins on the USB connector so the phone can register it as a power source, but you have to make sure that the adaptor outputs 1000mA, most adaptors only output 500mA and won't work with the Streak, think someone said that they could overheat/malfunction if tried.
I had the same concern... And I'm not willing to try soldering anything I just ordered the accessories from dell.com I should get it by next week.
