Hello,
the bottom connector from my Himalaya is broken...
Does anybody knows if there is a sync-cabel for the back-side connector ?
Or a female plug (perhaps from a cable extension) would help me to solve the problem as well...
Thanks in advance!
I have exactly the same problem. Any advice on where to find that connector. I can't take to a authorized service, because there's none in Macedonia
Thanks
Hey guys, can anyone help please. At least if you can tell me where to find that connector on the internet, so I can change it.
I think it's the same connector as for the IPaq 3800 series, can anyone confirm that. Thanks

go to www.merconline.co.uk for xda2 parts very good for conector repairs
was you finding that cable. I am also searching it, pls tell from where i can get it. i also not sure is it for synch and to charge xda.
cant you charge just the battery on the xda dock?
and sync with bluetooth?
flyboy
but problem is this i cant flash through bluetooth
Exactly same?
I have a Himalaya(i-mate Pocket PC) with a broken USB , repalaced by only a charging port so that I can charge it but cannot flash it! Got the intact cradle though. Is there anyone who can repair my USB port so I can flash it again?
this happenend on My first Himalaya too,i´ve searched a lot through the Net
and couldn´t find any spare parts,what I want to say is...
theres a bigger Problem to find Spare Parts then to solder the Port to the board
(yeahyeah...which isn´t easy too..i know...)
But is there anyone who knows what is the backside connector? And is there cable for it?! It will be good to use it! Just to avoid, soldering and finding spare parts! Any info will be good! I have soldered mini usb 2 times and every time i do that after fall it came of! I'm sick of soldering!!!
MMMMMM That`s it!!!
Look all!!!
The backside connector isn`t for syncornizing an charging!!
It`s just for connecting the "High capacity" battery, you know the big battry with 2400 mAh.
All i want to say, you have to put a new connector to flash roms and charge the battery without take it off from your devices.
Hope i`ve help you with you problem!!!!

I knew that! But if u open a himalaya, and if u see below the back side connector there is a number of small dots, and every single of them are corespondenting for ones where the connector was soldered... So if anyone can find a corespodence for usb connection that will be good project... Just to avoid a use of old and crapy original connector, then u can use any connector u want! (for about 4 pins which is need for charge and usb sync) !!!!

Hi,
title says it all really... I damaged my cable. As I still have the Haicom receiver, I still want to use it.
I can't find this cable anywhere.
The cable in question is the in car charger cable for the XDA/XDA2 but also connects the GPS receiver to the XDA. The connection to the Haicom HI-203e is a PS/2 connector (same as older mouse or keyboard).
If anyone knows where I can get one of the in the UK i'd appreciate it if you could let me know where.....
XDA2 is a cool tool...

try:
http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/allprods.php?compared_products=&page=1&category_id=12
or ebay sellers usually sell them for £20
Or if your capable with a soldering iron you can make yourself one

tried it...
Thanks Swifty.
Tried to do this but used a incar charger instead of the car kit.
Didn't work.
The HI-203e was getting power but not enough...
I think the resistor in the car charger must be bigger than the one in the proper cable...
And, I have also tried to find this cable on Ebay...
Impossible, if anyone does find one tho let me know.
I have scoured the Internet trying to find this cable with NO joy...
Sno
phone up GPS systems and ask...... :roll:
Sno, you can always grab a universal incar ciggy adaptor from maplin or similar, they are only £7 then just set the dial to 5Volts (or whatever the 203 needs) then put the + and - cables onto the cable you made, obviously you will need a ciggy lighter splitter for your car, so that you can use your charge cable, and gps @ the same time. Or grab yourself a female lighter socket and cable it upto your battery..
..got it...
managed to find it @

G'day all
I'n need of desperate help as my serial port is stuffed, can someone please tell me if the male part of the connector is available to buy anywhere?
I know this is a tricky soldering job but a good friend has offered to help
Also I notice the rear backpack connector appears to route thru the same pins, does anyone know if this could be used to charge and sinc the phone, and if a connector is available.
Sorry for the gimme questions but I've searched all this site and many more with no luck.
Hello Freinds,
I dont know whats going wrong, but whenever i connect my wizard with usb it emits electric current, i checked the usb with other phone and everything is fine.
Seems like some problem with my wizard.
Anybody know wats wrong??
Probably non Wizard Cable
I have the same issue.
I'm not using a wizard cradle but a mere Motorola V3 cable.
It seems now the MiniUSB is a standard around now.
But it seems the MiniUSB cradle that is coming with the wizard or same cables do not have this issue.

Same here, i'm not able to have a call while i have the phone connected with USB or charging. I don't know why but it gives shocks...
Hmm...
About the calls but was active sync connected when you couldn't get a call
please give us the radio ROMnumber and OS also
Aldo
Ive had that problem also and i dunno about anyone else but i simply took out the power cord and plugged it in again but facing the other way (im guessing u have a simple 2 prong cord without that middle round prong like i do). Im think it is something to do with the positive and negative thingy (yes i know practically nothing about electronics i dont need to be flamed for it) simple but it worked for me give it a try and tell ur results
Actually thats not the problem only with usb but also charger, today i tested with charger and then also the i get the shock. I think theres some problem in the phone usb connector.
Well tommorow i will give it to service centre. Lets see...
shock
Well this is a problem that I had too- especially if I touched the damn phone barefoot.
The issue seems to be related to proper earthing (grounding) of the electricity supply.
@samy 3660- This is especially true in India since the US or European connectors do not have the earth pin for Indian sockets
The problem goes away if you put in proper earth terminal (for charger) or ground the PC case properly.
I had the same problem with my laptop at camp in Croatia, whenever I connected power supply I got shock from any metal part of my notebook. in other countries later it was ok, next year at same camp same problem so there could be problem with your electricity, sorry my english
I have just bought an imate 9502 with a broken charger port (usb plug) inside someone has tried to fix it by linking the pins from the usb port to the pcb but have failed so bad that they have completely f*ct where the pins soilder to the pcb, i was hoping someone with a 9502 would be willing enough to open theres and take some macro photos of the usb port so that i can attempt to trace back where the tracks go and fix my phone.
Any help would be great thx.
P.s in the meantime does aybody know where i can get an external battery charger?
I ended up fixing it by removing the old usb plug and replacing it with a new one and than tracing back the power wires on the pcb than i bit of trial nd error but in the end found them, soildered some tiny copper wires back to the new plug and it now charges perfect
Only downside is that the usb still doesen't work so no sync with the pc at all
which usb plug did you need and where did you get it from?
it would help alot as i am also thinking of doing this to mine
Hi guys.
Earlier this morning. My HTC is not charging. I've check the micro-usb port and it appears that there is a problem in the port because there is a brocken pin. I've tried to re-align it and out of luck, the pin broke. I am wondering if it is difficult to replace the micro USB battery port of the HTC sensation. I saw a post on incredible S section and it's easy to replace it as the USB port is just connected on the board via ribbon. Have anyone have encountered the same issue. Worse case scenario is I will need to have the usb port be remove on the phone and replace by a new one, but I am not good on soldering stuff and I might mess the phone big time. I hope someone can reply thanks.

At ifixit you can see a picture, that shows, that the port is soldered to the board.
I think it will be hard to solder a new one to it, since the pins are very tiny. Maybe you can find a replacement board on ebay?
