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.
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?

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) !!!!

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.
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?
hi guys i have a HTC one x at &t and as usual i connected my phone to the charger and the phone restarted and it didnt charge after wards ! and then i realised that my charger was burnt it also gave a fried smell ! and now my phone wont charge or conect to usb ! i think this is a hardware issue ! do u guys have any ideas to help me ! i would like to know if there are any jumpers or fuses in the charging ways ! please help me with this
and there was no over load current it was normal 220 V AC when i pluged the charger !
im sure about it
:crying::crying:
thank you
I had the same thing happen on my old htc windows phone. That one had a removable battery i could pull out and charge. I'm pretty sure there's a tiny in line fuse on the usb port that has blown. If you're into micro soldering you could try replacing it. Otherwise the only option is pulling it apart and replacing the board with the usb port on it (most likely the motherboard). These tend to cost almost as much as a new phone, so unless you can get a second hand one from someone with a busted screen (or similar) i reckon you're out of luck.
Ps - there's no guarantee that some components on the board aren't damaged beyond the fuse, so motherboard replacement would be the best option.
