Hi,
I was charging my Xoom yesterday and my dog ran around and tripped on the cable. The charger bent and wouldn't work anymore. I bought a new charger thinking that was the problem, but it won't charge either. I assume that the port itself broke somehow.
It's the WiFi model, i bought from Best Buy without any protection plan. Does anyone know offhand what the cost of repair would be via Motorola and turnaround time?
Or better yet, some other way to charge it? (i wish the mini USB would work)
Thanks
Put the dog up for adoption.
Go to motos website and jump on a chat to see what they say.
Don't put the dog up for adoption.

I posted it on the Moto forums, thanks. Also, I heard the dock charges it without using the normal port, is that true? Would that work?
I too was going to suggest the dock. I am fairly certain it charges through the USB.

Thanks, i'll do this, but can anyone 100% confirm that would work in my situation? It would be greatly appreciated.
Dock will charge it. It charges through the exposed metal sockets you see on the bottom, not through USB. But it will work I have one.
Cheers.
You should go to ifixit.com and look for a teardown. Try and find the part on EBay or see if you can order through Moto. That sucks.

The dock is/was on sale at BestBuy. That's your immediate best bet.
But that's a big inconvenience. I have the dock and I think I only used it once. You'd have to have a boner to be able to rest that dock on you when you're using it in bed.

Just a + 1 for confirmation.
I find the crappy little charge port & jack to be one of the VERY few cons about the Xoom. The 2 gold plated connectors at least offer hope that I could fabricate another charger (apple laptop style) if ever necessary.

I was laying in bed last night when I plugged in my Transformer to charge it and the ac adapter started to buzz and when I touched it the ac adapter started to spark. The ac adapter was 0B-1LF
Just wanted everyone to know and to be careful.
If it does start a fire, I smell lawsuits.

More likely, reading the thread from the "new posts" link in the header, didn't notice which forum the thread was in, and assumed the OP meant "Transformer" as in "ac adapter", not as in a brandname.

This could very well be an issue with your electrical, and less with the adapter.
That said, Asus has shown itself to be pretty bad at making consistently good products, so a few bad (even very bad, apparently) apples/chargers wouldn't surprise me in the least.
I believe you. Someone else's here actually melted.

Whoa, Asus has a defense dept contract to manufacture mines?
Damn, that charger got jacked up. I have always used Asus motherboards in my computers (Maximus IV Extreme, currently) and never had any problems. I did get the "faulty charger" with my TF, but it never showed any signs of trouble from the week I had it.
Mine gets hot but not hot enough to melt. Was it plugged into the wall directly, extension cable, or power strip? You in the US?
I had a charger for my MacBook melt and shoot sparks, and even though it was way out of warranty they still replaced it for me at the apple store. Now I always use surge protectors and other high quality power strips.

I didn't mean any harm when I said that. I take it back if you feel offended by it
I kinda figured you were probably reading the "New Posts" using the xda app.
Anyways, back on topic. Like some others have said, it might be caused by a sudden voltage spike from the outlet. Where do you live and is it plugged into the wall directly? I know some countries have really "dirty" power and instability killing electronics all the time.

Did you end up contacting Asus about this?
If yes, what did they say or do about it?
We didn't start the fire, It was always burning , Since the world's been turning, We didn't start the fire
If you do a little searching, you will see that similar issues have occurred with the charger. It appears that the contacts between the charger body and the country adapter are very fragile and can easily result in a high resistance connection which then heats up the plastic case and allows the connection to get even worse. I am sure ASUS does not manufacture the charger, but rather buys it on the open market to their specs. I would never leave my TF charging and leave the house or go to sleep.
there was a thread here about 0B-1F (i 'm pretty sure there was supposed to be an "L" in it).
a member here was told that those "power supplies" were faulty.

It's pretty nice. I love the keys. You can do everything on the tab via keys without touching the screen. I have it connected to a usb port on my monitor and it charges the tab pretty fast. HH was selling it for $80 before the clearance.

Yes it has, but no cable inside (at least mine).
got mine and will be picking it up today. To bad keyboard is gone, I'd like to have had one just to try.
I'm gonna go pick up my dock today, but also noticed the keyboard is on clearance, so I may pick that up as well, even though I have the Logitech keyboard. I'd probably get the microSD adapter too, but I don't think I'd ever use it.
Just walked into my local HH Gregg to pick up the desktop dock I ordered online for $4.95... They had the desktop dock marked down to $0.95 and the keyboard dock for $9.95.

Mine sits uncharged. It would disconnect without notice (a vibrate upon disconnect would be nice) and would die faster than my phone. Oh well. Nice idea, but kind of worthless. Can't wait until the motoactvs are cheap

oh man that looks cool. the "special" cable is a huge turn off I hope they can switch to a standard micro usb for charging but my pre order for an orange one is in.
VERY neat.
AVOID the live view. I bought 3 ($8 a pop) and regretted it. they collect dust now. WONDERFUL concept but they simply WILL NOT stay connected. period. I have NEVER been able to get one to stay connected for more than a couple hours. most times less than that. amazing concept horrible execution and the damned thing can't even be CHARGED while in the watch cradle so you have to pry it out daily (how long would that last)
I was going to rivet the backing place to the watch band so I could remove the bottom band pin (allowing it to charge while in the cradle) but its so horrible in operation I never bothered.
I bought two still didn't get mine....anyone receive there's I want to play already

I am looking into external chargers as well since you can replace the battery. I think I saw some Duracell ones on amazon as well, but thanks for the Anker suggestion!
I'm aware of their existance, what I want is effectively a "mini" one. I need it to be as small as possible but give the phone at least one charge.
Most of the ones ive seen on the net and on here are large and have large capacity

If it doesn't like to charge anymore then its from the battery getting wet maybe. When my sons continy drowned in his backpack from a water bottle I dried it out for awhile in rice, battery too.

Yeah, that might be the case in part, but there is also the issue of the phone registering that is is plugged in only after twisting and bending the cord around the phone in a certain manner... It isn't the cord, because I tried it with like four others--it is definitely the phone itself... I think i'll keep this phone though until the Sammy S IV is released (and unlockable by devs ) for Verizon off contract So I still have some time to fiddle around!
I bought an external battery charger for mine off ebay for 5, I saw some for a little more with a battery. Then it wouldn't have to charge via the phone and you would have an extra battery.
Having said all that, are you working on one last great master mod release. Your continuum magnum opus?

That's what I've got. The desk charger came with a "Y" usb cord so I can have one battery charging in the charger and still plug the phone in. It's great having that second battery, if the phone gets low just swap them out and go. And it is a factory Samsung battery, so no issues with it.
