AAAHHHHHH! Phone fell whilst charging and ripped the USB port.
I want to get the port replaced, forget about an external charger and switching batteries every time...
Wondering if anyone has ever had a port replaced. is it doable? I'll try calling some phone repair stores, but it's Sunday so nobody is open. Just a little stressed out (lol), so if anyone knows or has had this problem before any info is appreciated. Just for peace of mind...
I got the phone BNIB on craigslist, no receipt and no warranty. I'm hoping getting it fixed is just a 60$ deal at a place like this: http://www.cellmall.net/repairs.htm
Thanks,
Ced.
It's doable.
Here's the part: http://www.cellulardr.com/t-mobile-...100-sensation-charging-connector-tmobile.html
You might want to verify your model # and check if the part # matches up. Shouldn't be too hard if you know what you're doing.

Awesome! I hope that's what it costs here too.
Thanks for the info
Ok, just letting you guys know it's fixed.
It cost 75$ here, a bit on the high side but at least everything now works...
Thanks to all who contributed and helped reduce my stress level
Cheers!

Hey everyone,
I have an Eten M700 Glofiish which I've purchased with an extended warrenty.
My warranty is about to end here and I want to get my phone replaced before it does, so I can have a new phone
In order to get it replaced I need to break something on my phone that proves to be unrepairable. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what I can do?
I has hoping to, in someway burn my processer. It's a samsung, not sure how to go about this. Remembe I can break multiple things
All I know about the "repair" is that it will be done from www.pocketpctechs.com
Thanks in advanced
This guy will help you

Heh. Check on their website (willitblend.com?) and find "will it return".
Anyway I suggest magnets, high voltage charge (homemade straight-to-phone wall charger), static chocks, water (might leave evidence...) or anything that damages the insides without leaving traces of abuse.
If you wanna have fun, there's the microwave
hahahaha thats for the will it blend thing. But I was hoping to like seriously overclock the processor til the extent it burns out, dies, ect.
Any overclocking apps working on Eten's?

It is unethical, You could have also saved the extra $ and bought a new phone when this one really breaks...
Anyhow, will close the thread, not only because I think it's unethical but also because I think that the last couple of messages are the forebode of a flamefest.

This is the most solid thing we've seen regarding the Fuze to date. Fake? I highly doubt it. But all things are subject to change when it comes to AT&T so we're just patiently playing the waiting game. And trying to convince our significant others that the phone isn't just a new toy to support my tech obsession, it's an investment

It confirms the already solid evidence we had for the 11th, the email that was leaked.
Those accessories are just universal crap ones I.E. micro sd, bluetooth, etc etc. There is a silicone one that will be avail. But I have seen pics of it yet.
And if you think its fake thats fine, I guess my internal AT&T intranet is fake as well. If if you want to call me fake then ill delete my post and never give out inside info again!
To the others that appreciate it, your welcome. Im glad I can help you.

Thanks D8DNS!!! I have a very good relationship with the manager at the retail store by my office. He confirmed the 11th date and there are 4 on a truck on the way to his store from Memphis and should arrive Monday. He said he will give me a call probably late Monday morning to come in and pick up my Fuze!!! Goodbye iPhoney!!! Welcome back Winmo and the awesome peeps on XDA Devs who will make my Fuze run like a raped ape.... Hopefully

Trials are over and over 10 captivates successfully repaired at this point with over 95% success. Pm me if you need any help with a hard brick...
ill take one too!

Sounds like my phone!
id like to atempt to make a connector to help you guys out. i have a couple ideas and the tools for precision work but dont feel like disassembling my phone for the proto-type proceedure. if you get a couple phones maybe i can help out.
Danny, the connectors are available online, however if you'd like to help, we could use two circuit board like this:

If you make these, please let me know. this would allow plug-in access.
Alrighty I have one coming my way. Still looking for 2 more. Come on bricked Cappy owners, this is like a golden ticket here.

well im waiting to here from my friend who was a tool and die maker still. he is out of town. would really like to use his more specialized tools, high spindle speeds are needed for the tiny tooling needed and a jewlers drill press would be better than what i have. i could do something a little makeshift with a dremel but would like to do it a little less sloppy. also curious why it should be 2 pieces? just trying to figure out what you are seeing...
Bump. I'm still looking for 1 to 2 more units before I go official with this skill. Please contact me if you are in need of assistance.
Hmmmmmm... interesting thread. I shall subscribe. Might I request some photos and a little friendly info on your project to be posted in this thread?

YouTube "vibrant jtag" and the first video is of me doing this on a Vibrant/i9000. The project is the same but much harder on Captivate. Although it's no cakewalk on anything with how small jtag points are (.1-.2mm in size)...
+1
Maybe you'll get more to bite with all the mix ups of bootloaders between 2.3.x and 2.2. Seen at least 5 ppl between various forums say "flashed back to 2.2 from 2.3 and bricked "

I would love a JTAG adapter but currently none is available in the whole world for this phone. Member AdamOutler has been slowly fabbing one up for other purposes that may benefit me in the JTAG quest. But there is also a chance my skill will develop first and allow me to directly solder to the pads which I have managed to already do once and I'm hoping for some repeats on the boards I have currently in transit to me! If all goes well, I can go live with this service middle of next week.

PM sent. You qualify as my potential last trial run before real service is offered. Check your inbox and get that bad boy coming my way.
Just wanted to pop in here and say THANK YOU to connexion2005 for his awesome work.
I sent him my hard-bricked Captivate a few days ago, and he was successfully able to recover it with with JTAG. JTAG has been something I have personally looked into when I was more active with the Captivate, and I can say that soldering to the main board is a real pain, and I applaud him for his skills in being able to do so. He was able to fix my phone and return it very quickly. His hard brick recovery service is a real asset to the SGS guys!
Thanks again!
UPDATE: I'm now 2 for my last 2 in successfuly (BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH) hard bricked / corrupt bootloader resurrections.
When a JIG doesn't work, I can still save you!

Hi all,
Yes this is true. I am one of those 2 phones resurrected from death!!!! Really thank you.. I know it is a hard task... so helping accomplish this and of course saving the phone is priceless http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Really thank you!!!!
connexion2005 said:
If you have a hard bricked captivate that is no longer in warranty and is currently of no use to you, I'd like to practice with the motherboard and attempt to JTAG repair it. I'm practicing my skill at the tiny points on a Captivate board in an attempt to be able to offer JTAG Captivate debricking which is practically offered by only a few places in the world.
This is a REQUEST for any/all Captivate's that are not water damaged, and were hard bricked by a bad ODIN flash, firmware OTA upgrade or bootloader upgrade. If your phone has the black screen of death and won't turn on, this is for you. If it shows ZERO signs of life, this is for you.
MODS: This is not an advertisement for a service but a free offer of helping out both myself and the owner of the phone. There is NO PROFIT made on this. I will even cover your S/H fees to and from my home.
This process currently has a moderate chance (50/50) of damaging the boards points for JTAG owner's, this is only for people that don't currently have a warranty in effect and have nothing to lose versus throwing way a board I may be able to fix. If you have a warranty you are advised to go through Samsung or AT&T for a replacement not through me on this potential trial fix.
If I fix your phone, it's absolutely free for participating in my practice session with Captivate JTAG soldering. I have successfully mastered other Galaxy S variants (Epic, Vibrant and i9000) but the Captivate is by far the hardest phone to solder to.
I'm looking for 3 phones. Don't miss out on a chance to possibly have your paper weight restored at no cost!!!

I told erikmm I'd let it go for $75, I thought this was fair since I had bought it for about $150-170 a couple months ago. I had no idea what this phone was worth to him or this community tho, does it sound fair?

I'm glad I could help out. I don't know if I had told you, but its the white casing, I posted pics in my thread the other day. If you don't like the white or the feel, you could sand it down and repaint it, or get stock parts from ravers fried phone..
I'm not going to mess with shipping it tonight, I have a lot going on. I can ship the phone either tomorrow or thursday after school, I have to find a usps somewhere, ups cost me 17 dollars to ship last time.

Hi guys, if you don't already know there has been a kickstarter for a while now for something called magbolt. Magbolt is basically a charger that attaches with magnets and is apparently safer and has many benefits such as less dirt and grime. They support micro sd USB type cable and lightning adapters. You can buy USB type car and lightning port ones sperately or you can buy a two in one that works with micro sd and lighting ports. I am making this thread to simply inform you all about this incredible new piece of tech which will hopefully be the future of charging. You can only currently but it from their website. Check out the link and please let me know what you think of magbolt and if you are going to get one. Thanks for viewing this thread and thanks to anyone who replies. I will be ordering one tomorrow to test andet you know how good it is and how good the charging speeds are. Tap the burger icon and then about to read more into it.

I feel sorry for you if you actually ordered this man. Based on the reviews from the Kickstarter page it would appear you may be out your money and getting no product.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong obviously, but so far it would appear that just like every other great-looking-magnetic-USB-c-funded-by-kickstarter item, this one too is also nothing more than a fraud and a sham. It's extremely sad, really.
