Hi there i live in the UK and im looking for spare parts to fix my Broken XDA II. I need to replace the charger / usb port and was wondering if any knows where i can get these parts from so that i can fix it my self. I would rather buy and fix the parts my self than paying some one else to do it for me as this costs me a fortune.
Many thks for your help.
I also need these parts repaired. Oh yes and Proporta can't do it so save yourself £15. Please let me know if you find someone who can!
well ive emailed loads of repair places and they havent got back to me. I am curreenly trying to bid on some broken phones on ebay but ppl just keep going to high on there prices.
maybe ill get lucky.
try www.merconline.co.uk
PDASMART Horror Story
Just make sure not to use PDASMART. They are not reliable at all.
I posted the same question few months ago, and I was told to contact merconline. I wrote them an e-mail, but still haven't received an answer.
If anyone knows where can we purchase that bottom connector, we will be very thankful.
cheers,

Hi everyone,
I just googled a little, and found this web sites that sell spare parts:
http://www.ipaqrepair.co.uk/view_product.php?product=554
This site is for ipaq's but can anyone confirm that we can use this connector for our qtek's/imate's/xda's etc???
Also, this is even better option:
http://www.imate-shop.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=39
I beleive this is what we need, I wrote them an e-mail, to check if they ship worldwide.
cheers,

This is the IPAQ connector
This is from pinouts.ru
Can moderators confirm that this means the 22-pin connector from the ipaq 3800 can be used in the qtek2020
http://pinouts.ru/data/pda_wallaby_pinout.shtml
Wallaby and Himalaya come with two connectors on the bottom. Also for MDA, XDA, Eurotel DataPhone.

The connector pinout
1 CAR_MIC_IN
2 GND / SENSE
3 CAR_AUDIO_R
4 CAR_AUDIO_L
5 ANALOG GND
6 RS232_DCD
7 RS232_CTS
8 RS232_TXD
9 RS232_RTS
10 RS232_RXD
11 RS232_DTR
12 NC
13 USB_VDD
14 UDC+
15 UDC-
16 GND
17 GND
18 GND
19 CAR_ON#
20 V_ADP
21 V_ADP
22 V_ADP
Notes:
CAR_ON# is connected to +6V/+5V on the car charger, it"s not connected in the cradle. +6V/+5V makes the phone go to speaker mode immediately when picked up or dialing. When this pin is connected to ground, the internal mike and speaker are turned off, and audio input is taken from the audio input pin on the connector, for use in real car kits.
Pin 2 GND / SENSE is not necessary. it seems that if it"s grounded, the phone hangs up when placed in a DIY Car-holder for example. - leave it unconnected.
Pin 5 ANALOG GND - connect this to your sound Input/output-GND (Speaker/Microphone) - do not connect this with the other GND"s - it makes a lot of noise on the analog input/outputs. Audio needs to be capacitively coupled in, any DC bias seems to inhibit audio.
If RS232_DCD is pulled to +6V/+5V, the device turns on and ActiveSync is started. The serial port powers down and needs to be reopened after the device goes in power-save mode.
USB power also wakes up the device and starts ActiveSync. UDC+ and UDC- are the USB data connections. One person reported measuring them the other way around.
Cable to plug into computer
This is the cable you need to talk to the Wallaby or Himalaya serially from a computer, such as is needed with our Manipulator program or for using ActiveSync through the serial port. Techies like us call it a "null-modem cable", O2 describes it as a "serial hotsync cable". Optionally, if you wish to be able to power/charge to XDA while using this cable, you could hook up a female connector that mates with the connector on your power adapter between Ground (pins 2,5,etc. on XDA) and pins 20,21 and 22 on the XDA. Make sure the center conductor on the power connector goes to pins 20,21 and 22.

Cable to plug into modem or GPS
This cable will connect to devices which come with a cable to plug into a PC serial port, such as a modem. If you are connecting to a device that only uses RX, TX and GND (such as many GPS receivers), you may only need the wires which connect to pins 2, 3 and 5 on the 9-pin serial connector. And you can, optionally, hook up a charging interface in the same way as described above.

I'd feel better in doing this on my xda 2 if there were some pictures
of taking the thing apart to illustrate rather then working blind.
like what's up with that void sticker under the battery?
Have you got pics or a sync/charge socket replacement repair being done?
What quality of soldering tools do you need? fine?
heellp!
I ordered and received my TC from Clove Technology (UK) since it is still not available in my country (Slovenia). Now to the problem - the power adapter which arrived with it is UK type which is not compatible with continental electric outlets. Since TC is still not available here, I can't buy a spare one, but I can get it for Tytn II (Kaiser) or Touch/Touch Dual.
Can anyone confirm that they are compatible and I can safely use it for charging my TC? So far I survive with USB charging.
Thanks
Power adapter - plug converter
Maybe you just need a power plug UK to EU converter. Here, in Serbia it's just a few hundred Dinars (approx 2-3 EUR)
(or simply charge from USB)
Chinese have power plugs compatible with the whole world - checked out.
I received a UK power plug with my TC and swapped it for the US one that I used for my Tilt (Kaiser). I also kept and use the USB cable from the Tilt for the TC. I've had no problems with either - as long as they fit (miniUSB on one end, power plug or USB on the other) they should be fine.
Just got a cable for 3 quid ( usb to Micro usb ) ment for nokia phones.. works fab !
I have an old car nokia charger ( micro usb ) .. using this now !!
Fab!
i take it this cable allows you to charge but does it allow you to use it for data transfers?
My nokia one for my e71 works perfectly with the Desire.
JAmes.
I got one from ebay for £0.99 inc delivery from hong kong, said it was for a black berry, I keep it in work solely for charging off the PC. Works great!
Hi
I'm looking for an NZ plug for the HTC USB charger.
I know I can use a UK - NZ adapter, but I was hoping to find a 'slot in' NZ adapter to use with my existing USB Plug ( as supplied by HTC)
They sell the full travel pack here:
http://www.htcdirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_8&products_id=765
Which includes the NZ head, but it's £29.95 !!
If anyone has one they want to sell, please let me know
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
Just found my tomtom main / usb charger that I bought in NZ..
Comes with US, UK, AUS/NZ & Euro plugs and cost me £15.00
Spec is: output 5v - 1.0A
I presume this should work as it's the same out out as the HTC.
This is available for £7.97 here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tomtom-4A00-182-5A00-081-A05T2-05MU-USB-Wall-Charger-/310157216511
You would need a USB / Micro SB cable.
Can some one please confirm this will work !!
I'd hate to damage my new desire
Thanks
I also had a charger marked 5v and 1 amp - works fine.
