Power/Sync port is broke!

I have an O2 XDAII that I'm using in the US with T-Mobile... and now the sync/power port at the bottom is hosed... it won't connect to either power or for data sync unless you hold the cable at a specific angle. This is not a problem with the connector since I have 1 cradle and 2 difference sync cables and its broke with all.
This sucks
I bought the XDAII off Ebay from another user less than a year ago (I don't know when the original purchase from O2 was)... can anyone tell me if there is a warranty, is it transferable and where/who I call to see if I can get this fixed.
Otherwise, anyone have any clues about how to fix it myself and/or where to get parts.

Where to find right replacement Mini-B Usb?

Hi,
My mini-B usb female connector (for charging and usb connectivity etc) is broken...
I need to find a replacement,
but I don't know what model it's exactly..
I don't what to end up ordering something I can't use :]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

What is the Make/Model of your phone. Either you can send it to the original manufacturer/vendor if still under warranty or you can order from ebay.First know the maker and model No # of your phone like T-mobile,cingular,i-mate or At&tt etc and model like T-mobile MDA,vario, etc etc,ok
Cheers !

I have mine from www.techcenter.fr

It's an HTC Wizard, Wiza200. (Qtek in fact)

Looking for a replacement USB port for your Apache or Wizard?

You're looking for "D" in the pic's (Mouser Stock No. 538-67503-1020)
I have purchased them, they fit perfectly!
Good luck

bioChaz-
My USB connector is broken as well. Have you replaced one yourself? I want to know how hard it would be to do, because I'm thinking of ordering the part and attempting it.

what about ppc techs. they repair and sell that part.

I've done it a bunch of times...it definitely takes a few trys before u get it right...if ur familiar w/ soldering then it should be fairly easy, but if not...it might be worth paying some one to do it for u...if the pads are ripped from the motherboard then they have to be retraced...that is even harder...then it is worth paying to have it fixed for sure...otherwise, there is always the upgrade

upgrade? i wish. bought mine off the streets. thanks

I knew I'd be able to get this part from DigiKey/Mouser, but I was just never sure which was the right one so I never bothered.
Thanks!

mini usb plug spare needed

Help, the mini usb port (plug) in my tilt has broken, and I cannot connect the phone to my pc. I am living in Venezuela where this phone is not in the market, and I cannot find the spare part. Who can tell me where can I buy one?
thanks for the help

Here is a service to fix it however it requires you to mail your phone to them. Its USD $79.00 and that includes parts and labor.

usb connector broken

hi. is there someon in germany, austria or italy who is able to repair my
polaris?? the mini-usb connector is broken, I can not charge the battery or
get any connection.
I have found only one address who offer to repair the usb connector, but I do not want to send my polaris to USA to get the service.
please help if you have some tips or ideas.
thx

Sorry I can't help you, just wanted to say a had the same problem twice - fortunately my provider replaced the hardware without problems.
Good luck anyway!

Broken Mini USB
I just had this same problem with my Cruise. It is only 4 months old and I sent to HTC for warranty and they wanted to charge 400 to replace the motherboard and usb plug. They claimed it was abused. They need their heads examined.
HTC has bad customer service and warranty.

Hi Brunner, you might want to try http://www.mobilephonerepairs.co.uk/home.asp . They are based in London, UK and sending to/from Germany was no problem for me. Just mail to [email protected], explain your issue and ask for a repair price quote.
So far I have only bought a replacement LCD from them and not used their repair service - but will do so next week. Anyway, they were friendly and supportive, and the LCD arrived in good condition and well packaged. Overall a very good impression.

i have some expirience with HTC repair, and can say that the most problems in HTC are in main board - very unstable connections with chips and pcb.
try to tense unit left and right side while usb is connected.
one more - switch off unit (take off battery and pull in) and connect adapter - i am sure in this mode charging will go - this is separate chip doing this automaticly ,but when processor running can sw it off. Stay 1-2 hours and battery will go full.

thank you for your replies... I'll try to contatct the london adress (big thank to doctah).
to romensat: thank also for your , but it is so, that I am not able to connect the usb cable at all, because the little plastic peace into the connector is broken out an some pins are damaged.
regards
brunner

just curious: how did this end up?

USB connector broken..

Hi all,
my Athena fell down while charging (kiddies.....) - now it seems to me that the connector is broken somehow. I can't chrage the device anymore and don't get contact to my PC anymore.
Warranty exchange isn't possible due to customized ROM. What can I do ?

PPC Techs repaired my HTC Universal when the USB connector broke, give them a try:

Thanks galt,
but seems to me a little bit far away.....
Would prefere a source to buy spares and do it by myself or have a repair service in Germany or even Europe...
Dieter

Sorry, I forgot to check your location... HTC might have a repair center in Europe...

i don't know how it works with "The Phone warehouse" but here in the uk their parent company Carphone Warehouse have usually a flat fee for repairs, maybe ask The Phone Warehouse what they might charge ?

I think you can open and try to solder usb pin on your own.
its should not be that difficult task.
I have done this with my Motoming

Hello,
have already opened the device. Sadly it's not only a standard USB connector but a special HTC connector with about 10 connections...it's nearly impossible to re-solder
Dieter
But I'll ask phone warehouse in UK.

As a temp setup, why not get a docking base. they normally have a battery charging on them too. Keep you going until you find a repairer. they come up on ebay

.......Or THIS even?
