Help! ipaq614c

Hi guys. Need help here. My ipaq won't charge even with te original usb cable.
It seems that the usb port is damaged - it charges only when i put a piece of paper in the mini usb connector so the pins of the connector are pressed against the ones on the usb port on the device. I guess they use too soft pins and they got deformed. Can anyone help me fix that. My device has no warranty.

I don't know if it is easy to change but this is what you have to buy :

Yep. That's the part. I found it later after I wrote the post. I guess I'll have to make a paypal account after all. Thank you thouugh. In the local service center they said they will fix it fo 15USD but I have to provide the spare part.

Any idea why this part has broken down? Is it possible to fix it without repacing it?

it sounds like either the small clip inside the USB port has snaped, or bent.
If its snapped, then theres very little holding it on so best to get it replaced
If its bent, then it may be possible for you to bend it the other way so it makes a stronger contact tot he USB plug. It will still be weaker than originally.

I have the exact same problem. The weird thing is that it still syncs and I can use WM5torage. I got around it by buying a cheap extra battery + external battery charger combo.

Broken Prophet, need help.

A'ight, so i opened my good old' Prophet today.
I am 50% sure that the battery thing thangy on the motherboard (see pic) is broken.

However, it might also be the battery, i have two batteries, one is the one that came with the Prophet and one is a cheap battery i ordered from Dealextreme.
I do know that the cheap battery is dead, but the other one (I did some testing with it, it shows up at 1.4V at my multimeter) i'm not sure if it is dead.
The phone has been like this before:
It randomly worked, randomly turned off, it wouldn't work for like 10 days, then when i put the battery in again it worked.
It kept doing that until it died completely.
Any suggestions?

I can't understand on photo. A battery pin is broken? If the problem is broken pin, a watchseller or jeweler can fix it. They have the right equipment to work with small things

You think they will fix this?

I would try to get a new (third) cheap battery.
Or try to re-animate the cheap one (dangerous, forbidden, but works often for me: open battery casing, unsolder LiIon-Cell, reload with Lab power supply to around 3-3.8 V (never > 4.2V!!!!), resolder, put in Prophete, start charging....)
The pins look ok. 1.4V for LiIon is below the deadly shutdown value!

OK, maybe my answer is a bit late...

USB connected

My phone thinks the usb cable is connected when its not...and I think its a hardware problem. I was using AA i3 and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it started happening. In the status bar it says usb connected, but when I pull it down it doesn't show the usb storage notification. I flashed stock ef02 and its still saying the same thing...wiped data, dalvik, cache, and still it does this. I'm thinking about taking it up to the sprint store...but before I do has anyone else had this problem with their epic? It works fine when I do plug in the usb cord. But its a major annoyance... it tries to charge when powered off! It shows the battery charging screen when powered off and not connected.
EDIT: fixed...something to do with the superuser beta 3. uninstalled, put superuser 2 back on and its fine
EDIT #2: Nope, doing it again. Now I have a screenshot

Same thing, same phone
It started happening to me like a few hours after I first rooted my epic 4g. Not sure why, and I didnt have any new ROMs on it yet, all I did was install ACS.Recovery CWM5 and the Impaled Keyboard Patch Fix, nothing else....so I thought I'd just go ahead and try my first ROM (ThePeoplesRom v.2) and that worked great, but again a few hours afterwards I just started getting the same USB connected issue. it flashes for a while, then it just stays on...any ideas anyone?

I had this happen to me from using older (i.e. - dirtier) cables and dropping it in the snow.... Try cleaning your usb port with some isopropyl alcohol or an eyeglass cleaning wipe. Had to do it a couple of times, and used a paper clip to get it in there, so needless to say (yet here I am saying it) I was extremely careful, as I didn't want to scratch the circuits in the plug.
Did you get it wet or dirty somehow? Dropping mine in the snow didn't help....

galaxy s5 rare charging problem

hey guys,
i have the wiredest problem.
i've phurched a new galaxy s5 and when i connect it to the charger, a charging icon appears but the battery % dosent go up, only down.
i've downloaded many battery analysing app and theey all seem to think that everything is fine, that the current flows and all, but the % dosent go up!
i switched a battery and a cable and its definitly a phone problem (i can charge the battery in another phone)
some suggested that i sould replace the charging port but it looks completly new and fine, and also cost quite a lot of money to replace.
is there any other soultion?
thanks!!

Sorry I encountered the same problem on my old s3. I finnaly solved the probleme by changing the micro hdmi port. Sorry I know you won't here this but i search everything. I replace myself it's not so hard. I do it because my s3 was in ending life.

It does sound like the charger port.....
The replacement parts aren't that expensive (under £10 off eBay).
Just make sure you get the right one....
Look at the pictures......

These parts are device variant specific......
It would probably be a good idea to match 'rev' versions too.....that was certainly the case with the S2....If the wrong rev version board was put in, it led to signal problems etc......

Check the port for dirt or lint. Use a sewing needle to clean it. It should be nearly silver inside, at the bottom. These ports are noted to pick up daily trash get packed in. Back in your hot sweaty pocket. And packed again. Seems to be a good cheap place to start and a noted fix for a lot of people across a lot of type c devices.

I already changed the charge connector twice, already changed the firmware nothing solves this problem.
