Well, prob your easiest bet would be getting a broken wing from ebay and yanking that one out, but you could resolder the connection and then use hot glue to help hold it to the board. That's what we did when I worked in the service center at Micro Center (computer store). There is a lot of force put on that part from plugging and unplugging the cable.

Is your usb cable a little loose when plugged in to your hermes?
The original cable that came with it: no, it's fixed. But i have a usb => mini usb cable and that one is a little loose. It also sometimes drops connection, so i only use the original to flash.
that explains why i'm having problem connecting to my pc. I hope I get this on warranty.
go buy yourself a good quality usb to mini usb cable. I was having problems with a cheap one falling out (lost the original) so I picked up a more expensive high quality cable and no longer have those issues.
Could also be that the connector is #$%^ed up. IF you still have warranty, no reason to hold back.
usb cables
That's interesting. I've just had my Vario II replaced by T-Mobile thinking it was the port on the body. Having tried 3 different cables (including a brand new one that came with my camera), including the original, all dropping connections, never any problem charging it though.
Replacement started off OK, but now seems to have same problem. Another repalcement is underway, but before I do put it in the jiffy bag, any suggestions where to get a High quality cable, as you suggested? I've ordered a desk cradle, but I expect that might make accessing the device a bit awkward.
And the cable does wobble about a bit in the port. Hmmmmm....

Hi I'd like to know whats the USB pin layout on the O2 Atom as my mini USB plug fell off and I'm trying to solder it back to gather.
So far i manage to get it charging again but I cant get data through it.
Also I wonder if anyone can tell me how to make a USB charging cable so that i can plug it into the PC and charge without activesync(without using WM5storage, just plug and charge) or I can charge via car charger(I know this can be done with a special adaptor but I'd like to make my own)
Help is very much appreciated Thx.
well i suppose that no one really know about it so if possible for those who already have thier Atoms opened up, take a high ress pic of the USB plug showing the pins and post it for me.
thx

actually i have a cable(which came with a universal battery pack) that allows me to do what i want but its in a bad shape hence I'd like to make another.
usb is pretty much usb htc's carry audio too but people report that normal miniusb in 1 end and usb in the other works just fine
and any device connected to usb's 5volt and ground get power even if the pc dont see it as a usb device it still provide 5volt and 0.5amps to them
thats how usb cup wamers and plastic dogs humping the usb port works
See here @ Wikipedia for details on pin-outs
Hi, I'm here to asking you if do you think it's possible to change the mini usb port oh the Hermes.
Yesterday the rubber between pins on usb port come out with the headset and I noticed a pin was broken. Now The phone charge and sync with pc but the headset not work more.
My Hermes is out of warranty... what do you think to do?

I have had good luck finding parts for my phone on Ebay. As for what I think you should do, it depends on your comfort level for repairing your phone yourself.
I would take it apart & fix it, but I'm good at that sort of thing.
With a lot of fortune i was able to pick up the pin and make in place the rubber previously come out. My USB port come back work!
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:

Hello recently I notice that when I plug the tablet in to my computer or through otg USB for data transfer it doesn't connect. However when I plug it in to for power to charge not charge s no problem. I fix it before thougt it was the electrical tape input over the speakers for good contact since I was having connection issue there. Any help would be great.
ave you tried using another micro usb cable? I have troubles to connect my N7 to pc with original cable but it works for charging fine aswell. I just use my phone cable to transfer files.
I have two other cables and they all do the same as well. Even when use otg with a USB it doesn't light up or shows up as working. Can anyone help me to were it may it the issue inside the tablet. Maybe a loose ground or somewhere. Just need the area where it may be the issue. Also maybe a website or eBay user you have used to replace the charging port with 3.5 mm audio jack since . preferably on eBay. Hope someone can help me out there.
There aren't many things that can go wrong. In the 2012 N7 (and many other devices) there are basically three possibilities:
- the USB cables (if you got multiple cheap cables, you may have multiple bad cables - I got two Monoprice cables a few years ago and they lost their snug fit within a year, they still work but I need to let the cord hang off the side of a table if I do not want the data or power connection to break. The original cable still works perfectly in any orientation)
- the USB port on the device (could be from wear or pulling/angling/torquing whatever is plugged in the USB port. You could theoretically buy an identical USB connector and replace the connector only, which is what people do with the 2013 N7 since the USB/power board assembly can cost over $100 to replace)
- the USB/audio ribbon cable being loose or broken, most likely at the motherboard connector for the 2012 model. If you want to replace that, the 2012's flex cable is relatively cheap at around $15
USB Port
I have replaced the USB port on my 2012 three times so far. They just seem to wear out, and this is without excessive use or abuse. I maybe should start buying them in bulk. They are only $* on Amazon.
