Guest s-one Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Sadly, my HTC Wizard/Cingular 8125 USB connector broke off. I'm not sure how it happened but I can only guess the pressure of inserting the mini USB cable wore it's soldered mount points and gave way. I tried soldering it back but when I adjusted those little prongs underneath so it would have good contact with the board, a prong broke off. So I'm out of luck and can't recharge the battery. Does anyone know where I can purchase the identical piece so I can solder it back to the board? Also, has anyone else had this same unfortunate fate? ;) thanks, s-one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bouteill Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 http://www.mouser.com http://www.mouser.com/catalog/629/979.pdf hope that helps Thank you, but could you specify which part you are talking about in the catalogue? (there are many that really look alike!)... I need to change the USB connector in my Cingular 8125 but haven't opened it up yet (I will open it up at the last minute, I can use it, until then), so I do not know which part it is exactly... How difficult was it to take it apart/solder/put it back together? Thank you very much for your very precious help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest murraylandale Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi there I have an O2 mini s which has the same problem. I have attempted a repair on it I would advise great care as the pins at the rear of the USB block are very fragile and are easily snapped off. Luckily I had a spare USB block in my box of bits which I will attempt to reattach. Personally unless you have a very steady hand I would recommend spending the money to get it repaired by a professional as the alignment of the pins is vital to ensure successful charging and syncing.
