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

Hi guys , i am PDA Technician , and i can sell and solder the connector to the XDA board perfectly , I am in Egypt Cairo

Broken MDA2 - please help!

Hello,
I have the T-mobile MDA2 and something tragic happened this weekend. When I went to plug the device into the cradle, there was some resistance. When I looked at the connector on the bottom of the unit, two of the connector wires were bent. I tried to bend them back with a small screw driver, but the unit will no longer dock. Therefore, I cannot sync or charge. Does anyone know of a place that might be able to fix the unit. It is otherwise in perfect shape. Is there a way to replace the connector myself. Any help is greatly appreciated! Feel free to use my e-mail to respond at wal[email protected].
Thanks.
Brent

Broken Connector replaced with USB2

Hello all,
Many moons ago I dropped my xda one to many times and damaged the pins in the connector.
I have seen a few similar posts regarding this, and O2s response is to generally replace the entire motherboard.
I finally got around to it, I pulled off the broken connector and soldered on a usb connector.
With great thanks to xda-developers.com, I deduced the pin layout drew up a plan and tried to do the soldering only to find it was too small for me. I took it to an electronics engineer and he did it for me to my specs and low and behold it worked perfectly.
w00 h00!
Stephan Neofitou
Finally....someone did it .....
Great work Stephan...u gave me the courage to continue with my project(i'll post it later IF it succeded),since the Himalaya and the BlueAngel connectors are the same as for the Wallaby...
Once again Stephan,thanx for doing what people may know,but no one dare to do
Cheers...

Good to hear! 8)
I am so happy to have my wallaby back!
I was glad we managed to secure the usb connector on the mb by the rear two lugs on the connector, it seems pretty solid. its a shame it sticks out about 5mm from the phone.
This weekend I will open it back up and take some better pics with my own camera, the above (taken with works camera) are pretty cruddy.
I think o2 had the right idea with the usb cable on the mini, 24 pins over 15mm is just too fine and delicate for something that gets thrown around so much.
Cheers!
Charging
Hi Folks,
Any idea does this charge the phone as well ???

nice work
a have a nice colection of many models of mda
tonight i will modify a walaby just for fun

Well done Steven, I also need to ask , does this mod also charge the phone?
I have a dislodged serial connector and looking for an easy fix, do you know if a GPS receiver will also work?
I also noticed the rear connector looks like it routes through the serial connector pins, does anyone know if this socket can be used to charge and sinc the phone.

Yes it charges the phone
Yes it charges the phone thats why there is two power lines.
I dropped my phone a few days ago and broke the lcd, only every second vertical line on about half the lcd is working now. Getting an Eten next week
the images seem to be missing from the original post, I will attache them again now if I can find them....yep
[edit] looks like its just the thumnails that arent working atm, clicking on the images does work.

As the Himalaya has got the same connector it is still a problem to users and we would appreciate your help.
pls reupload too
Can it be used any other connector instead miniUSB? It's ugly to see big phone with a little connector that sneaks out like a slime!!! =)
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if there is an alternative to pins 14 and 15 for the usb. thanks
as far as i know there isn't. But instead to use usb u can use serial port!

broken charging connector... need a new/used mainboard.

My 2i's charging connector broke. Sent it back to O2's repair centre and they specifically said that the mainboard has to be changed. Anybody here know of any thrifty way to get hold of a mainboard or a something similar? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Vincent
fixed same problem my self
Hi ,
I received a similar device from a collegue.
His charging connector was completely severed from his mainbord.
I opened the device and solderd it back on my self. Device is working again.
If you have te same problem maybe it's cheaper to find someone who can do this for you then looking for a replacement mailboard.
I have to say I had to try it 2 time because the connections where really tiny.
GreetZ
Rob
exactly...tiny...
You're right, it's very small, plus I have fat fingers. Well, maybe I should get someone to do it for me. I was hoping for a short cut solution and not too expensive one as well. I might try that after the holidays..

Spare parts

Hi I am a newby so treat me gently, I am just about to get a Universal from a friend but it has a faulty Headphone jack after he dropped it We have tried the other fixes on here with the device thinking the headset is still plugged it but that isnt the problem the actual socket is scrap we have bridged the socket with solder so at least we can use it but we cannot use the socket at all so i am trying to locate a new socket, I have a search around and couldnt find anything so i appoligise if this has already been covered.
Thankyou in advance
Sorted the problem i have just bought another one of ebay with a busted screen so i will swop the screen over and make one good one out of the two.
