The white thing is in the middle. It supposed to be at one end only.

I bought 10 already. I just want people to check before they short circuit their phone or charger.

Yes I've seen this, common issue with factory charger seen a lot of pictures of burned up micro USB type C

The white thing is so obvious in the middle. I wonder if they checked at all during QC. Maybe they think the USB-A side is also can be flipped.

No it isn't.Actually It's just standart double sided USB type A plug.

LMFAO. It's a reversible plug. It's exactly as it is supposed to be.

Omg this is so humiliating.
Anyway, the cable is still dead whether the USB A is reversible or not. LOL. I swapped with another cable and it straight work. If LeEco can't build proper reversible USB A cable, just stick to normal USB A with reversible USB C head.

Exactly.
MOD EDIT
you dont need to announce about yourself and others

yes, the USB-A side is flippable

Yeah

I'm glad we've got that issue sorted now...

USB Cables

Guys, do you use the cable provide or your own standard cables ?
Reason i ask, is the Phillips ones I use are the standard shape and not the cornerless ones HTC provide (hope thats makes sense).

Correction: I have found one 'standard' usb cable that will not fit. This is on a 'Powerchimp' portable charger that uses regular AA batteries to recharge the phone. The plug will not fully insert.

What i steh port behind the battery cover?

As the title states, what on earth is it for? Some are saying its for the car kit, some say it's a charging port and I think we're all lost. Sorry I can't get a picture because the HD2 IS my camera! Anyone care to shed some light on this matter? I'm looking into a diy wireless charging solution and if these 3 pins are battery connectors, then I can use this port on the back.
Cheers!

It's for use with in car hands free and GPS. You take the back cover off and just click the phone in and hey presto, it's all snug and secure.

Any possibility of charging through this port? A few pin out diagrams would be useful but maybe I'm just pushing it now. haha

most definitely there must be... since it does charge with the car kit it seems.
You should be ok by checking with a digital tester the voltage output from those metal contacts

Good idea. I'll give that a shot now. If all goes as planned, great! But next, to work out how to jam an inductive coil behind the cover!

You'll be lucky! I think, think, you can get some whereby you need to remove the battery and the cradle fits in it's place. I would Google it, but I am hungover and feeling lazy.

Hmmm. Can't seem to find my multi meter. Anyone able to test if any of these connections have something to do with the battery terminals? At least until I can get my hands on a multi meter.

How to NOT Make a Fastboot Cable

One of the rules I live by is to never pay for something I can make/do myself. With this idea in mind, I set out to make my own fastboot cable, rather than forking over $15. Besides, it looked like a fun project.
The result?
Yeah... I'm pretty sure a blowtorch wasn't in the list of required tools. I found another unused micro-USB cable lying around the house. Hopefully it won't meet the same fate as the first.

Lol, it is a pain. If you have a magnifier set up, it will make this much easier.

@viktormax3,
I have seen the second link you posted, and I've been thinking of attempting this for a while. Also thinking of buying this and stripping back a cable and re-connecting it with the short.
Also, in the first post you mentioned, someone mentioned this:
kfuller said:
Nice. Mine looks positively nasty (but it works). What I did was buy a cheap 8" usb micro male to usb micro female adapter, cut it in half, stripped the wires back, and twisted them back together. Then simply jumpered the two wires together and taped the whole mess up. The hardest part was getting a meter on the usb micro pins. Had to clip my meter leads to a needle to get to them. Had to wear my glasses too. They are really small and close together.
---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------
Oh, and I forgot to point out that the reason for using the usb micro male to female cable is that you are insured of a wire on pin 4 with this approach, rather than an unsoldered pin to test your soldering skills. You will of course still need a micro to the normal usb cable to go from this to your pc, but I already had that on hand.

So I may try this as well.:fingers-crossed:

What is the ribbon cable for?

I incidentally broke the connector on a ribbon cable running around the N10 battery. It's the one under the left thumb in this picture (http://www.powerbookmedic.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/nexus10-takeapart-006.jpg) Anyone know what is the cable for? Thanks!

It should be the digitizer cable.

So without this cable, the tablet would not able to turn on?
The trouble is that I can't find a place (ebay, amazon, etc.) to buy it.

Without that you can't use touch screen.
Just google for the string "MANTA GT-P8110 GT-P8110KTL" or just "GT-P8110KTL" that is the cable component number.

Unfortunately the cable from both links you provided is incorrect. I have seen them before, and it looks like an LCD cable based on the color, shape, and the model number on the pictures.

I find aliexpress.com to be an excellent source for repair and spare parts! Cheap prices and free shipping, no minimum order.

I am curious if there is a way to test individual lines on the cable to see which has failed (if it is not visible - i meant)

Bought new battery from amazon-newnet
I had to place again old Battery as new one collapse at 40%
doing that clip broke and now....
Same here! Any part source?
I did exactly the same thing replacing a battery. I found someone local to solder and bought what I thought was the correct part (https://www.parts4repair.com/45pin-lcd-fpc-connector-for-samsung-google-nexus-10-p8110-2pcs/). But alas this is NOT the correct part. This is for the LCD flex cable not the digitizer.
Anyone have leads on where to source the correct connector?

Trusted site to buy spare parts ? (OP5 charging connector)

Hi,
My charging connector is dead and I would like to change it.
Does anyone know where I can find the official charging connector? And if not possible, at least a reliable one. I'm located in France.
Thanks in advance

You know JerryRigEverything? He has links for spare parts under his videos. Just search it on YouTube.

Yeah I realised that, that needs a whole daughterboard though, you can't just buy the power connector.
