so went home and claimed it on my house insurance and i now own a lovely spvm2000 but im left with this xda2 thats been down the pan, the thing switches on and it all appears to work fine except its black listed, obviously coz i claimed on insurance so i will open it up and sling the pcb in the bin, unless anyone wants some componets from that, but i shall not be selling the phone complete or the pcb seperate. so for sale i have everything else here is a list of what i can think of

houseing(scratched but back cover is fine)
4 styli (3 in original o2 retail pckaging)

I sell the connectors on ebay - unless you are fairly confident with a soldering iron I'd get a mobile phone repair shop to do it for you. You may also have damaged other componants on the board when the socket was pushed up.

XDA II Damaged connection slot
Hi all,
I had the same problem with my XDA II, sent it for repair and it did exactly the same shortly afterwards, i bought a new battery and charged each one alternatively, but found problems syncronising and eventually gave up.
I have recently bought (my little gem) Xda Orbit, after many months examining what was on offer, I love it its is everything i expected and just a little more. Purchased a 2 Gig memory card and installed copilot on so i have sat nav and all my tunes. needless to say i have a spare Xda II up for offer for spares and such should anyone want to get in touch with me.
there is the Cradle and power charger, 2 batteries and it works well just as long as you dont want to connect it to your pc, anyway im new to this site, would be pleased if someone could point me in the right direction for Orbits here and please feel free to contact me, even if just for a chat and introduction. need to get established here.
cheers all, have fun and hopefully speak soon

Has this happened to anyone else? The phone works fine. But last night I went to plug in the charger and the Mini-USB port PUSHED IN. I didn't insert it forcefully either. So I look closer and see that it's *rattling* around in the bottom.
????
The phone still works but with no way to charge it and no way to connect it for data, this really sucks! Can this be fixed? I don't even know what size torx bit to buy, much less if I should even bother
Broken Mini-USB connector
The same thing happen with my 8125. I called Cingular and they eventually replaced my unit. I spoke with tech support and they agreed. During the next billing cycle, they incorrectly charged me almost $350.00, so I called customer service and they reversed the charge. My unit was less than a year old.
Be alert to possible being billed for the repair. Based upon my research into this problem, it is a known design flaw and should be replaced under warranty.

Except that I'm a GoPhone account.... but I'll call them anyways and see what they say. Can't hurt. Otherwise I think I'll be plopping down the $$$ for a Hermes of some form.
There's a company called PPC Tech that can do the USB port repair for you.

I called that company up above, Pocket PC Techs. The lady was very nice, and she's discounting me on a shell change since they will have the current shell off anyways to repair the unit.
She said yes, the USB port issue is indeed common. I asked her what they do to avoid further repeated breaks. She said they use a USB socket that has a sturdier contact surface to solder to, and they warranty for 90 days. I suspect after they're done it won't break again with normal use.
They're in Fountain Valley, California... about a 45 min drive from me. She said if I bring it in the morning (their hours are 11am - 4pm M-F), they can fix the port and have it back to me with new housings in about an hour or so.
I'll report more if need be, but I strongly urge anyone with this issue to call or email this company, their act together. They do screen replacements and touch sensor as well. Also check out their accessories. Top notch stuff.
I got a similar problem,
The usb port went a bit dodgy and the usb plug had to be rested on something so it would charge but it wouldnt sync
This morning i plugged it in to charge it and heard a click inside and my phone wasnt charging so i unplugged it and the port came half way out and now i cant get it to charge and im on 18% battery :S
Ill get my dad to ring T-Mobile later and send it off for repair
I had the same problem. I contacted T-Mobile & they told me I would have to pay the $100+ (dont remember the exact figure) insurance deductable for a new MDA.
So I did some googling & found a place called Chicago Phone Repair (CPR). I took it to them & the problem was fixed in about an hour for $80 (with a 90 day warranty). Then I went on vacation to Texas & the USB port broke again! Took it back & they repaired it for free, but this time they used a different part (its black) & its a lot more sturdy. That was about 6 month's ago, I've had no problems since.
I had 3 MDA's all returned for usb problems. I think this is actually pretty common, I'm sorry to say. I had to get mine replaced through T-Mo.
Good Luck.
Try posltd.com for USB connector for any xda
they have most in stock and fixed my wizard and universal for £60ish each

Psipoc
Just got my phone back from T-Mobile and...
Unable to repair "Damage caused by dropping or crushing"
They have had it for around a month now and not done anything apart from pushing the port right in and making the problem worse !
Im gonna fix it myself later.
That's very delicate work you're about to attempt -- if you're not an experienced electronics tech, I wouldn't chance it. Try PocketPCTechs -- they do repairs on most HTC devices.
Had the same problem. Just soldered myself, Take your time and a fine solderpoint and you will be ok.
have got a handful of usb connector for the wizard at £10 each plus £5 postage
PSi
mine didn't push in but it did stop charging. I live in the Chicagoarea so I took it to CPR. they replaced the USB port but it still is not taking a charge. very happy to say they didn't charge me anything even though they replaced the port. I am hopeing that the battery is just too drained to take a USB charge.
so I just bought a battery charger and an extra battery. I figure I can change the battery once a day and synce via bluetooth. I am just sad that I wil not be able to try different ROMs anymore unless by some fluke the usb port starts working again.
Will report back once I find out.
I was able to get my phone's USB repaired from xpress cellular repair for $51 and change. They take care of the problem while you wait and are generally done in under an hour. The staff is very friendly and knows what they are doing. They have locations in Los Angeles, Orange County (CA), Texas. Check them out on their website at http://www.xpresscellrepair.com for full details.
Tilt or TYTN II Mini USB repair on my own
Dear All,
I bought a used Tilt, works like a dream. Apart from the mini USB. The cable is loose in the slot, so charging and data transfer can only be done, then the phone lays on the table. If the phone is on charger and I want to answer a call, the cable falls off.
I already ordered a mini USB port and I want to do it myself. (I have no problems with soldering).
I was wondering if anyone already done something like this before. Could you give me some advices, photos, manual etc, which would help and which could help me to avoid irrevessible or expensive mistakes?
Thank you in advance.
same thing here
not easy to solder at all, had me struggling for hours, when i finally got it right, well, seems that it wasnt right, at least my phone charges, but there's no way it'll sync, and i did a pretty strong soldering so this would't happen again, so i don't think ill take it appart again..
btw, my wifi doesnt work, cant turn it on, and since my device wont sync, is there any way that i could fix this w/o using the cable?
Anyone else have this problem? my USB connector no longer works on my phone, and i'm pretty sure one of the contacts must have come loose or something.
Anyways, I don't wanna ship my phone from Australia back to Europe, so I was thinking I would just pay one of those mobile phone repair dudes to look at it.
I think as long as they don't have to mess with the screen you should be ok. Seems that screen replacements don't go so well.

Hello,
I fell in the not-so-rare problem of the broken microUSB female plug on the motherboard of my HD2: the phone won't charge or sync at all.
After searching around, I found that quite a few people have gone into my same trouble, because the sync plug is directly soldered on the mainboard and is also the phone part that gets most of mechanic stress during the device's lifecycle.
In a few words: seems that almost all phones will eventually break.
I tried with HTC repair but they refused to repair it both under warranty and under paid repair.
I don't want to throw away my phone after I spent 550€ for it!!! I would like to find a way to revive it!
I currently have two options:
Replace motherboard by myself or with the help of an expert technician
Buy a Powermat charger to charge the phone again
Third option could be buying a Chinese external charger I found somewhere supplied with 3 spare batteries, doing cold swap of each battery when one discharges: not a smart option.
I can't currently find a motherboard for replacement, since the only one on eBay that the seller doesn't refuse to ship to Italy is software-bricked, and I don't have the tools needed to unbrick it.
Option 2 allows me to avoid opening the phone and avoid potential disasters, but it won't allow me to sync the phone via USB. Not even to HSPL it (I love running Android dual boot sometimes when I need to run a certain program unavailable for WP6.5/7).
So, since I really need to synchronize the phone with my computer's Outlook for Calendar and Contacts, and after telling you about my current options, what do you suggest me to do?
Do you think it's possible to sync to WMDC using Bluetooth? (I read that wifi is not an option)
Or, do you know how could I unbrick a motherboard without buying expensive devices? I can travel easily around my country.
I'm open to almost any idea, thank you!!Buying a new phone at its brand-new price is not an option
what reason did HTC give for refusing to repair it?
If you didn't drop it or spill water on it how can they refuse warranty on it?
Warranty refused because they say the defect is unrepairable.
Initially, when they refused warranty repair I thought "OK, it could be wear..." but when I saw the photos of how the plug is soldered to the mobo, I found it's a design disaster!!!! Even I know that the plug accumulates so much mechanical energy during lifetime that if it's not strengthened properly that energy will make the very small solderings crash. This is also why keys are not physically embedded on the mobo!!! You know you could break the keyboard because of wear
HTC then asked me to send the phone for paid repair but again the repair lab refused for unrepairable damage!! Incredible!!!
this is bull****.
If it's "unrepairable" they need to send you a new phone...
I'd call back, that's why there's a warranty, for stuff like this.
I've been "calling back" since April... we are now in July and nothing yet happened
Also, I just found that plugging the battery again and doing a hard reset shown that the touchscreen is not working anymore!!!!
I couldn't even sell the phone for spare parts once the digitizer is broken (by the way, not even a single broken pixel ever!!)
They sent me a mail today, "we are investigating"

Ya HTC can be so stupid about that sometimes. It's funny on Sprint they would have switched out the phone no questions asked, but with GSM they don't want to do anything for you.
whatever that means I hope they do the right thing.

Man it sounds like HTC is giving you a load of crap, sucks to hear stories such as yours. HTC should just exchange your HD2 for you in m,y opinion.
You asked about how to get a main board debricked, I just sent you a PM with some information on that.
Oh and "we are investigating", just what is it to investigate. Your HD2 is malfunctioning because of a hardware issue and is still under warranty, they should replace it.
I like your avatar pic too it is cool.
Just to tell you what it finished like.
HTC ultimately replied me "this device won't ever be accepter for repair".
I called a lawyer for that, because I just found that when I powered the phone on, the touchscreen was gone, and I have proof that the touchscreen was still working when I gave them the phone
