Broke my charging port!!!! Ugh! - G Tablet General

Got my woot gtab last night. Flashed it and all is great. Took it to work this morning to show it off. Fell off the counter with the charger plugged in. Broke the port inside the gtab. Took the cover off and it appears to be soldered on the main board. Is there any other device that will charge the Gtab besides the wall charger? I have basically ruined it on day one? Do the cocking ports charge. I would buy one if I knew it would charge it.

You can try calling View-sonic and explain to them what happened and see if they can help you out some way or another.. Doesn't hurt to give it a try..

I just got mine yesterday, so I'm not 100% sure about this. I believe you can use the USB cable to charge the g tablet.

From what I understand you cant. My next step was to find a dock that charges through the port on the bottom.

The dock will charge it. USB will not.

Don't worry! just send an email to Woot customer support and tell them you need to exchange the tablet because the battery isn't charging. Something similar happened to me, and I sent woot an email on Monday, I found out today that my replacement will arrive tomorrow, and I just need to mail back the original.

You could contact Woot or Viewsonic, but since you dropped the gTab and broke the connector, I doubt they can/will help.
Buy the dock here and you will be able to charge your gTab:

Well I tried that and they responded back that they dont have one to send and for me to send it in for a refund. I will probably go ahead and keep it. Hopefully there will be more charging options soon that I can use. I went ahead and ordered the docking station though.

its an easy fix with a soldering iron. broke mine the same way. be cautious opening that bad boy though...

Ya I noticed that. I had the cover off already. Is the motherboard difficult to remove? Everytime I seem to do something like this is never goes back the way it is supposed to

I would take them up on their refund offer, and then buy another G-tablet from Amazon for $5 cheaper! I checked today and they are selling them for $280 w/ free shipping. Woot's deal is not so hot after seeing that!

if you want to do it, unscrew the case with the 4 screws located under the rubber stops. pop off the plastic case (carefully), you'll see the motherboard on the right side. take the screws out that connect the motherboard and you'll see the connector easily. You don't have to take the mb out completely, just enough to see the connector. solder that baby in there and good as new!
given, i was taking a chance when i popped that sucker open, but mine works just fine now. good luck!
oh yeah, dont drop it again. i learned that too.

Viewsonic Service
I had my port just fall apart internally. There was no drop, no mishandling at all.
Received an RMA from Viewsonic and sent it in. Received a call from them that they thought it was abuse because the little middle pin was broken off. Don't know yet what they are going to do.
It is obviously a precarious port with the long thin male portion that doesn't seat completely in. It is begging to be broken off if you use the G Tab plugged in at all.
I will advise on what Viewsonic finally does.
EDIT 6/17/11: Received my G Tab back day before yesterday. They repaired the port under warranty after 3 calls trying to tell me it was abused. They did flash 4349 ROM and 1.2 bootloader and cleared sdcard of all data. I had to nvflash back to 3588 to load back to VegaN Ginger Edition.

Good luck. I agree - the port was poorly made. I took mine apart and tried to solder a connector back on. There was just not enough for it to be reliably attached. I did get my dock in and use it to charge now. Its not too bad just cost another $50.

[Q] Dropped gTab! Not Charging!

I am quite bummed at this situation. If I can't manage to fix it I will be buying a new one (though I might wait for a price drop.) I've had it for over 30 days so no replacement under warranty. In the meantime does anybody have any thoughts on how I might fix it?

Well how good are you at taking apart things? The back cover is held on by 4 screws that hide under the little rubber covers in each corner. Then you need to release the clips that help hold the back on with a guitar pick, old credit card, something like that. You may have jarred a connection loose inside, or even broken one.
Does it power on at all (red light on front when plugged in), but just doesn't charge the battery?

It powers on fine, and has about 70% charge. I've seen it drop so I know it is not getting a charge (i was hoping it was just the light.)

There's a thread here about disassembling the Gtab, with pics. It sounds like hopefully a connector. Maybe look at the pics, to see how the battery, etc. is connected or ask on that thread.

You're gonna have to re-solder the power connector. There were a few incidents of this mentioned elsewhere.

[Q] What was your experience with ASUS Support?

Hey guys,
I want to know if anybody tried to get a warranty repair on his TF700 with cracked glass.
I can't claim i NEVER dropped my Transformer, it has a small scratch on the side from about 8 months ago. About a month ago I noticed my screen cracked on edge after I woke up and tablet was laying in his case right where i put him. A week or so later I noticed that I can't lock it in the dock, the left hinge just wouldn't fit, however the dock still worked. After about two weeks I was on a yacht, the dock was stored in my cabin all the time, but one day I wanted to charge battery from it I noticed it's dead and not charging. After plugging it to charger in marina the light was not lit and when I connected dock to tablet it didnt recognise it. And then 2 days later I took Transformer out of my backpack at the airport and I saw another crack on the screen. Again it wasn't dropped, hit with a club, tossed, just put gently in the backpack.
The weird thing is I got 3 diffrent problems, all happening within a month and none of it was directly preceeded with any kind of misuse. I wonder if people at ASUS support are going to believe that I didn't abuse my Transformer in any way.
Anybody had simmilar problems and what was the result of RMA procedure?
Where are these cracks? I would assume along the bottom where it would fit in the dock but are they where the connection dongle is, on the side, ever notice it getting unusually hot when charging or smell anything? If I follow correctly then neither the tablet nor dock is charging regardless if they are connected or as individual peices.
I've had the dongle portion on my tablet go bad. I heard a pop after plugging it in, a faint smell of burnt something, and it didn't respond anymore to the usb cable. Connectiong it to the computer also resulted with nothing happening. They repaired it with no problem. Perhaps your port went bad and in the process caused the screen to crack. If the cracks are around the port area of course. How it ties into the dock not working now could also be related. Maybe it was the dock that went bad first but the signs showed on the tablet since it is easier to see.
Either way your tablet is useless if it doesn't charge. All you can do really is send it in for RMA and hope they don't claim it is customer induced damage. Try doing a Google search for the model you have and screen cracks. Might find something there following other people with cracked screens.
Good Luck

USB Power Connection

Has anyone had any issues with the connectivity of the USB port when trying to charge? Mine doesn't always charge; I have to find the right position for it to make correct contact (it doesn't seem loose either). I've tried different cables and I applied a couple bursts of contact cleaner to it to see if that would help as well--no go though. Any ideas?
It's breaking. It's difficult to fix. You could see if someone will try to fix it for you but they gotta be pretty good. Otherwise invest in an external battery charger.

Bummer... I'll try and look for some kind of guide on the net. I've fixed other electronic devices in the past, so I'll give this a whirl... Thanks for the reply!
Godspeed! What happened to mine was the traces broke off from the motherboard so I had to re-attach the connector. The connector itself was still in good shape though. It was quite a challenge.

Are you seeing that the battery is intermittently charging when plugged up? My wife's phone is having issues and I have isolated it to the most likely culprit being the USB port, though the port is not lose and I have cleaned it out. All I can figure is that it has bad connections with the motherboard. Phone works fine if I externally charge the battery and insert. Wanted to see if you were seeing the same sort of things. At this point, for $139.95 and free shipping, I ordered a Blaze S 4G from Amazon for her, and will likely give the S 4G to my daughter to play with.

Yes, it'll go in and out of the charging state; but when I put it in the "right" position it'll go back to charging. I opened it up to see what the deal was and everything seems fine. However, I did get a chance to compare it to a "working" one and it seems the metal port housing is a little bit out of whack. So when I get some time I'm gonna see if I can get it back to normal--the metal seems a little flimsy.
Here's a really good guide that I used to take it apart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMOdkBadlJU

Mine is doing the samething, 5 use an external charger with two batteries. I also use a different phone to upload roms, or anything else to the micro SD Card. Seems to work just fine.
Just got mine back from Josh over at mobiletechvideo. 35 bucks to change port. I couldn't buy a decent soldering iron and the part for that price.
Glad you got it fixed!
Another problem may be the USB cable itself -- My beloved OEM Samsung 2-meter cable doesn't work reliably any more, it needs to be "drooping" a bit to make contact (in any device).

[Q] LG G2 will not power on, seemingly no reason

Here is what happened exactly:
So the phone is sitting on my windowsill so i can get service and receive texts messages. i get a text so i walk over, pick up my phone, unlock it, and i pressed on the textbox to start typing my reply message. as soon as i press the text box my phone freezes, and thinking its no big deal i hold down the power button to turn off my phone (took about 10 seconds to power off). Now my G2 will not do anything at all, wont power on, wont charge, the red light doesn't even come on with the charger plugged in.
Things I've tried:
holding power/power+down/power+up for 2 minutes+
disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes and trying ^ again
disconnecting every component and reconnecting then trying ^^ again.
disconnecting battery, plugging in charger
disconnecting battery, plugging in charger, then reconnecting battery with charger still attached
charging with lg charger for 12 hours
additional details that may be useful:
at&t D800
rooted
cwm recovery
optimus g3 custom ROM
literally never have had an issue with this phone before
a new battery is on its way in case that is the issue

Scratch that, i actually canceled the purchase of the new battery because i think i may need a new mobo instead. I'm not gonna buy anything until i get a second opinion at least.
sorry about the 3rd post in a row
I've ordered a new motherboard that has arrived today in the mail. after i get that in my old phone ill update the thread again.
I have to say though, i am extremely surprised and irritated by the absolute lack of support I've received from this site. i would always come here to find answers in other threads and the community seemed pretty awesome, so its pretty unfortunate that i haven't gotten even a single reply. i guess people only want to help others when they already no the answer...

Have you found a solution to this? My phone did the exact same thing yours did last Friday. I tried several button combos and the only thing that gave me some hope was resetting (power + vol. down). I was able to get the LG splash, then the ATT splash and jingle with the LED lights changing colors, but that was it, went back to dead. I'm debating ordering a battery and some tools to try and get this working again.

Yeah, so i got the mobo in my phone and it turned on and everything was working again! however the mobo i bought had a broken battery connection so i could only use it if it was on the charger so i had to send it back. but replacing my motherboard will fix my issue.
as for yours i have no idea, if it wont turn on even with the charger plugged in then replacing your mobo may be a solution.
i still think its pathetic that no one with real experience has replied to this thread, i guess you cant believe what your told about this place unless your question is easy to answer.

i got it on eBay, the original price was like $120 but i put in an offer of $75 and they took it. when you buy it make sure you compare the pictures on the posting to your actual Mobo.
All that you will need for the switch is a credit card, a knife, an extremely tiny screw driver, and some double sided tape(the tape is optional).
as you can see in my picture, the board i bought is on the right and the old one is on the left. you have to watch for stuff like that when buying a part like this.
i think I'm about to buy a D800 G2 with a busted screen for $40 in the next hour, if i get it ill let you know how it goes.
Success!!!
Alright so yesterday i did buy that busted G2 and when i met up with the kid i made sure everything worked before i bought it. i got back to work and made the switch(i was going slow and i was debating on swapping the charging component, took about 35 minutes).
I did not wanna put my Sim in the phone until after i had downloaded all my apps and configured all of my settings the way i like them, so about 6 hours later i get a chance to make the final switch over. when i did put in my SIM everything APPEARED to work fine, but when i left my home i realized that my data was not sending or receiving anything at all? i went to the grocery store and bought a glasses repair kit for the screwdriver inside and opened the phone back up, everything appeared to be connected properly.
I left and called AT&T customer support and this guy helped me fix the issue, apparently their system though i was still using the temp iPhone 4 i had. after he switched the old IMEI number to my new Mobo's IMEI, i restarted my phone and it worked perfectly! i highly recommend taking this route if you can get a new board for less than a new G2 costs.
The Mobo i got off the kid is legit too, i guess he bought it only a month or two ago because it has some features i did not have like the knock code. i also got it rooted and flashed TWRP, not sure if ill flash a G3 ROM or leave it like it is.

Anyone had issues with the phone charger?

Anyone had issues with the phone charger?
My girlfriend is using an S7 and she has a lot of problems with the charger. Phone is not rooted or any custom ROM. Just stock. I replaced the chargers twice until now. The first one took almost a year to break. This one took like 6 months or so.. Has anyone encountered this type of issue before? All the chargers are taken directly from Samsung.
Charger starts to show signs of malfunction when it's missing the fast charge option or not charging at all. Then it returns to normal. Then in a matter of days the charger is not working anymore.
Phone variant is G930F. I'll attach a screen of Ampere after the last "charging" with the broken charger. It took the print screen after a minute or so. It's hard to keep a girl away from her phone.
P.S. Charger is 100% broken as I'm not able to charge my phone with it, so I just want to know if this is a phone issue or a voltage issue.
Sounds more likely that the phone is damaging the chargers vs you constantly getting bad charger replacements
Had mine a year now with no signs of problems and fast charging still working fine

You should bring it to the service center, and they will check the port for you. Thing is, the port might be bad, and for this reason it kills all the chargers you buy as a replacement. A sign of this if the charger cable gets very hot on the end closer to the port. I mean the micro usb plug itself. But thats one thing, if it isn't happening, the port could still be broken. You should go see if the port is fine. If it is, then I suspect it as a voltage issue in the house, or something. So worth checking that too. Hope you still have a guarantee on the phone. Because then they supposed to fix it no cost. You sholud try if data transfer is working through cable. If not then it shows again, port issue. If you don't want to to use the phone connected to a PC, or otherwise an easy solution could be buying a wireless charger. So then you didn't fixed the port, but the phone will be charging. But first make sure it's not the houses voltage problem, or the wallplug, because if it is, then it can ruin your wireless charger too.
Thats all I can help. Hope it helps.
Regards, and Good Luck fixing it!

Well thats not an easy one. But I don't really think that's the issue here. If she isn't living in an old house, then there is very little chance of a problem with the curcits. You should ask her if she had any random power breaks or such things in her house. Or light bulbs going wrong too fast. But as I said, I don't think thats the problem. It will be the port, I just mentioned the voltage as a possibility, and the thing what you should keep in mind.
So I suggest Her buying a wireless charger, as her phone is an S7, she can do that. But if I were in her situation I would bring it for a check to Samsung, or wherever she bought the phone (ofcourse if she still has a guarantee as I mentioned earlier). To tell the truth, as I see the problem is with the port, and depending on what you said, I don't think a home solution or buying another charger would be enough in this case.
That's why I mentioned trying wireless charging, because thats not using the port. I hope she can get the problem fixed soon. Poor girl without a phone...

Yeah I think so too. And you know. There is the swag in that She can show to friends like: "Look my phone is charging without plugged in" or something like that.
Hope that really will help Make sure to send feedback if you fixed it somehow. I'm now planning to buy an S7, so I hope this is a one-of-a-kind problem.
Anyways Good luck really. If she buys a wireless charger make sure she is buying an original Samsung one, because that has fast charge included, and it will sure not ruin the phone.
I'm the one buying stuff here. Haha. Not interested in second hand/fake/refurbished phones.
She got the phone unsealed with "one hour use before" from a local "dealer". I don't approve this and I don't trust him. Apparently he's a good friend with some of her family's friends.
Still returning a phone after one hour of use is not something someone would do if it was working ok. He told me the other user loves Apple more.
Even though i think the other user didn't notice the voltage issue, as it took almost a year for me, until the first charger broke down.
But i prefer sealed products. Even though they don't have warranty as I flash a lot of stuff.
I'm also interested in buying an S7. I have been for the past year. But unfortunately I had to support my mom with some "donations". It's a damn good phone.
Will write here once I manage to get the Wireless Charger. Thank you for your help.

Okay so hi again! Just a quick update here. Maybe if someone reads later. So I was watching this video for fun:
There is a part of the video where he disconnects the battery. He clearly says that the micro-usb port and the wireless charging part is connected with a different cable. Thus the wireless charging still works, even if the port is broke.
I thought it was good to mention this, I was sure about this before, but here you can see clear confirmation on it. The part in question is somewhere in the middle of the video.
So if you manage to screw up your port, wireless charging will be still functional for sure!
Hope I could help!
