[Q] Where to buy replacement USB Port - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My 16gb nexus 7 is having trouble charging. I thought it was the charger but even buying a new one did no good nor did any of the several I have around my house. I need to know if anyone knows where I can buy a replacement USB port for my tablet. I can find them on ebay but I can't really the point in spending $50+ for a part for a tablet that is this old. If I buy a Dock for $25 on amazon will I still be able to transfer files and use adb with my computer using the dock. I would assume not because the Dock I used to have for my Nexus S wouldn't interface with my PC for anything other than charging but I haven't used a pogo pin device before.
If I go the dock route is ADB over WIFI reliable enough for regular use?

Beware of aftermarket USB cables

I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.
I bought a couple of these usb sync/charge cable recently from the eBay and gad no problems with them. They came with proper boxes wraped up.
If yoy need the link, let me know and i will send it to you.
Thanks.

Galax Tab Sprint Cable
I have the oem cable and this aftermarket cable from ebay.
I've been using the cable from ebay since I got it.
The cable works fine and is longer.
Again I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab

Just (arrived yesterday) got an after marked cable from ebay, just tried to use it and my Tab appears to shut down (black screen, no response from buttons etc).
Luckily I have my original cable with me but now that's doing the same (into a PC and mains).
Is this a massive coincidence of have I just goosed my beloved Galaxy Tab?
I bought a number of cheap retractable cables from ebay and they all work well for sync and charge.

I really hate that the OEM cables are so dang short. I'd love to find a couple of longer ones.

I use my OEM cable tho it is short, I use my USB cable extension from my logitech wireless mouse, It works just fine.
Of course when syncing I plug it direct to PC
I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.
Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.
The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.
Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".
So it is just a risk you might want to take.
Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay
Example: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-data-cable-for-samsung-p1000-1m-length-51931
Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:

When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.
AliExpress also has lot's of items:
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=charging+p1000&catId=0
Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.
Thans from another dutch guy who borght his stuff at mobilesupplies.nl for reasonable proces. Two charges a Docking station and a bluetooth keyboard in leather case.

USB miniport replacement

Hello all
I think my miniport is broken on my Nexus S, since every computers just say unrecognized devices and keeps mounting/unmounting it... Since warranty is not an option (bought the phone in US, live in Europe), I would like to ask if anyone know if it is possible to replace the miniport? Either myself or at a phone repairshop? Just wanting to check before running around searching for a repairshop...
Try a new cord before you blame the phone itself. Both my and my wife's original Samsung power cords went to pot in less than 9 months. Mine's dead (OK, the spaghetti sauce might have had something to do with it.) and hers is having the same mount/dismount issues you describe. I had the same problem with previous cords from LG
I'm currently waiting for this one to come in the mail from Amazon: Mediabridge - USB 2.0 A-Male to Micro-B Cable (6 Feet). It has very good reviews and a reasonable price.

Also, If you use or know of a good docking station for the nexus 7, which supports data transfer between a computer and the tablet, that would be nice. Thanks in advanced
Sv: [Q] Good OTG cable?
You can buy OTG cables from E-Bay / Dealextreme. Take a look there, most of them is pretty ok and they are very cheap.
I use a OTG cable from a local store on my Xperia(Same cable, works 100% on Nexus 7) and its a pretty basic one. Just order a cheap one.
I got mine off Amazon ....2 bucks. Works fine! Took 3 weeks to get here.....but I didn't pay attention ....it was coming from Hong Kong. Lol

Anyone know of a good (not $30) SlimPort Video Out cable?

I'm getting this phone today, and I hear it does NOT support MHL, which is not awesome because I have like 4 MHL adapters laying around. So I guess I need a "Slimport" out adapter, but they are coming up at $30 each. Anyone have a recommend on one that does not cost that much, or if they all do, any recommendations on the "best" one that does not cut out etc..?
they're all $30.. its the standard price http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort®-SP1...=UTF8&qid=1363706599&sr=1-1&keywords=Slimport

[Q] Replacement USB Port & Headphone Jack

I need the small flex circuit under the speakers that has the usb and headphone jacks on it. Mine won't charge via USB no matter what I do. I've checked Google, Amazon and the only one on eBay is a wallet gouging $60.
Image of item I need: http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mkrHuqT6sQtxNQXExbNSt7w.jpg
1) Does anyone have a bricked N7 they'd like to sell me the part out of?
2) Does anyone have a source for buying one of these?

You can still charge with the 4 pogo pins to the side.
He would have to pay around 60 for a dock.
OP. I have an extra one i can let go. PM me.
