Hi guys,
I've damaged the charging block on my pda. I think its just come loose. I just need the following advice:
1) What type of screw driver do I need to take off the case?
2) Can I solder on the charging block again without any problems?
Head to the Universal forums and ask there, also search first for the service manual. Most phones are T6/T5 and I can't recall what the jack looks like so I can't say..

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 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.
Greetings,

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

Has anyone successfully replaced the USB port on their sensation? If so did you follow a specific guide?
I've read multiple places that the usb port is soldered onto the motherboard itself.

From a teardown video it seems it's as you say - soldered. Though the part is available on Ebay.
However, Attempting repair by yourself is quite risky - unless you know exactly what you are doing (you need to desolder the damaged one, and the solder the new one). Doing this procedure wrong could possibly render your device into an expansive paperweight.
As for a guide - couldn't find one, and if you are not an expert in soldering, I suggest taking it to service to fix it, not worth the risk IMO.
Hi
I have major problem with my tablet and usb socket has been pried from board have taken a quick look at damage and a replacement or solder of new one is out of question and metal contacts on pcb has been damaged also.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way of bypassing so I can still charge.
Can I bypass the small circuit board where USB connector is and hard wire battery connections directly onto USB itself.
This tablet has always served me so well dont want to give up on it just yet as cant afford a new one.
Fairly confident with soldering etc just curious as to whether it will work and best way to wire it up
Ok, I have a realme 1 that is dying, I have posted on the new phone thread but I do not expect to get a phone that meets my needs better in all aspects.
**What phone should I buy next?** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!
Hi everyone, This thread is a continuation of this thread. This is here so you can discuss what your next phone/tablet should be, if you're not sure what to pick. Also, if you need advice as to which device is better than another, then feel...

The issue is that the micro USB connector is getting worn down and the battery discharges in a few hours. Even new I used to have days on which my battery 3950mAH would be exhausted by the end of the day.
I want to do the following thing
Replace the micro USB port with a USB C port. physically my phone is a plastic fantastic and I plan to carve/shave out the few mm with a knife/scalpel and fill any voids with a combination of expoy putty and expoxy glue. My problem is how to do the internal wiring. I have done some soldering but nothing on a PCB. The most fine work I have done is patch speaker wires. Every repair person i have talked to says that it is absolutely impossible to do. I would appreciate it if someone could walk me through it.
Realme has now released phones with a 6000 mAH battery, So I propose to separate the back cover, carve any obstructions, create any posts needed with epoxy putty, and fix the battery with hot glue. Again the problem is the connections. I realize that the thickness of the phone will increase due to this and plan to fill the gap with epoxy and hot glue.
Yes, I realize that my phone is going to be a Frankenstein's monster. As long it works well I don't care.
I would appreciate it if someone could guide me

You know you can get a USB C chip for really cheap (compatible with the processor)? All youd have to do then is attach the ribbon cables, enlarge the port hole and test to see if power passes through with a cable. Make sure not to use too much glue, however, because when the phone heats up the glue may melt and run over the motherboard, resulting in a ruined phone.

There is actually a YouTuber that I conveniently forgot the name of... But he does DIY projects like this, like adding a headphone jack to iPhone 7s and stuff. Call if modding. But his parts come from Chinese marketplaces. I would suggest you research a USB C component chip. Not sure how old your phone is but they are basically universal depending on the OS supported hardware (like Android 9+ supporting QC3.0).
Thank you again for replying. I do not need quick charge. It came with 2A 10 W chip, and that's enough. Cannot I connect the USB C port to the input on my phone. Most USB C implementations are USB 2.0, SO that SHOULD be 4 pins and 5v at max 2 A.
Problem is that that the repair centers are assuring me that is not the case.
