Any hadware pro`s out there?
Somehow I have managed to damage the contact strip on the bottom of the phone. It will not charge in the cradle, but the battery charges in the cradle. Sync using the cradle is OK. I think it needs a new connector strip. Does anyone know if this is a "beyond economical repair" type of problem, or have any ideas how to approach this. I could take it to an O2 shop for a quote, but that may take weeks, and besides its an unlocked phone, and they might not be 2 impressed!!!
Thanks,
Justin
I had the same problem. Sent it to the XDA service centre
they said it wasn't covered by the waranty
Cost about £70 to get it repaired
tel 0808 100 3427
Thanks
just found out £104
I also have the same problem mate. Not quite sure how I bent it though.
I managed a small repair, but I still have to angle the charger slightly to get it on. Everything still works for at the moment, so I don't think that I will get it repaired.
Nearly forgot, this is my first post so hello to everyone!

My Xda/Qtek's charging slot is loose or bent and as such I am now not able to charge it or synchronise at all. Brought to the repair shop and was told that I need to change the whole mother board as the slot is attached
to the board and it is as good as getting another one than to fix it. Seems to me that the 2 pins in the centre or the slot is bent and I cannot get the connection on when I plug the charger in unless I twist the charger to one side I then get the yellow/orange light which indicate charging.
Appreciate if someone could help fix it. Cheers.
The charging socket is part of the mainboard, I have had this in the past with ipaqs, I got a jewellers eyepiece and a very slim pin and managed to get them lined up again, I am sure there was a post today about this very problem.
Thanks for info. I managed to strip apaart the xda and then soldered the
loose charging slot. It works fine now and I save having to pay for the replacement of the main board which is not worth it and also the service
costs.
help for newbie pls?
Hi, I currently have the same problem. I also want to try the solution that cruisin-thu suggested, unfortunately, I'm not much of a techie and I'm afraid that I might damage the mainboard if I don't know which parts to move. Does anyone know of any sites that have a picture of the xda II mainboard? I'd really appreciate the help.
Hi
My toddler has yanked my XdaII whilst it was plugged into the DC charger adapter. The USB/charging socket at the base of the XdaII has broken.
The thin PCB inside the socket moves up and down freely if you shake it. Hence it wont charge any longer, or connect via USB.
Does anyone know if someone like myself, with no electronics experience would be able to fix it? Is it a superglue case!
Otherwise, how much could i flog it for, given everything else is in working order?
many thanks for any assistance...
I had similar problem last year.
Sent it to:
XDA SERVICE CENTRE
A-NOVO RADIOPHONE UK
VULCAN ROAD NORTH
NORWICH

Tel: 01603 269901
and got it fixed for about £70.
Hiya. Im new to this place.
I was given a broken SPV M1000 A while back. It just needed a bit of TLC. The device works 100% fine now after being taken apart and thourghly cleaned of goo and stuff. It obviosly had an abused life, as it seems to have been "RIPPED" from the cradle and damaged the port on the bottom.
I have resoldered it once and it was fine for a few months, but has degraded due to the connector being damaged. The socket is now beyond resoldering as the pins have been bent. Could someone tell me where to source another connector?
I sync using bluetooth and have two batteries and charge one while using another.
Is it possible to install WM5 on this device? I assume i need to get the connector on the bottom going again.
Thanks for any help.
Dave.
Hi Folks,
Yesterday I repaired the Backlight/LCD of my Raphael and destroyed the coaxial cable thats connecting the mainboard and the other board. After this action I tried to work with the phone but i have no receiving. Now I bared the rest of the cable and i have a little bit receiving. First i wanted to braze it, but the connectors are to small.
Has anyone an idea where i can get that part (coaxial cable)? I searched the www but didn´t found anything. Or are there any other ideas to get the phone correctly working?
I´m very sorry but that was my best english
Maybe someone can help, me.

Ouch sorry to hear
It always hurts when you try to repair one thing and in the process something else breaks. ( my poor psp and its LED mods )* RIP
Try having a look in the Raphael accessories forum.

sounds like you are talking about the "ribbon flex cable".
I damaged mine on my wizard or kaiser back in the day and ended up buying a damaged device off of ebay (one that was run over by a car!) and then taking the part form that device.
also you could check cnn.cn as they have parts for phones as well.
Hi,
Thanks for your replys. It´s not the "ribbon flex cable" it´s the cable shown in the picture named "antenna wire".
When there is another way then buy an old rapahael i´ll take that

My HTC Sensation, has stopped charging altogether. I took it off charging and when i put it on 10 min later, the LED didnt light up, so i got a toothpick and tried cleaning thecharging port just in case something tiny went in and was blocking it to charge, but that didnt work. The phone was working fine until the battery died and i still cant get it to charge. Now im wondering whats broken, to all those repair specialists out there, what could be broken? I can buy a charging port from ebay, but is that it? or could it be anything else.
I was looking to upgrade soon but was waiting for some christmas deals to pop up, but my phone decided to let me down.
Any help appreciated, thanks guys

Did you solved the problem by buying a new phone?, the problem could be the USB connector himself, if you are very handy you can repair it yourself...

maybe your battery died
I'm assuming you've got it fixed / moved on to a different phone / are using an external charger, but this thread got bumped to the top so I figured I'd chime in.
I had this problem as well. Unfortunately, the usb port is soldered on the board and not a separate unit attached via ribbon cable. The solder joint holding the port on the pcb cracked, resulting in a loose port. Over time, this lead to the pins breaking off the pcb. For a while, I was able to get it to charge by applying pressure to the usb plug. Finally, I took it apart and resoldered it, reinforcing the solder joints for the port itself. It's not too difficult if you use some flux. Just line up the pins and tack the port back on. Then rub flux over the pins and tack them with the soldering iron. No additional solder is needed or recommended-- the pins are in close proximity and it'd be easy to bridge them.
