WTD: XDA2 or XDA1 bottom connector or brocken XDA1

[gazzaman2k]

my xda 2 is pissing me off now im hardly able to charge it anymore as i have to bend the charger in the connector to get it to charge and keep it like it.

im needing just the connector from the bottom from either a xda 1 or 2 as they areboth the same by the looks of it.

either a smashed screen xda1 will do or just a xda1 or xda2 barred/knackered board will do fine aslong as the connector is great cond :)

anyone help me out here?

cheers

Ive got the same problem - but its still under guarantee and back at O2 for repair now - try taking yours back.

Maybe the start of a common fault?

Gazz, it doesnt matter if you dont have a receipt, just ring this number 08081003427, they will want the imei number and will then send a packet for you to return the phone for repair.

Hi mate,

had the same problem, mine is under warranty, but they still wanted 180+ to repair (connector and mainboard). I told them to return unrepaired. I have now got a spare battery (35 from expansys), which I charge in the cradle. I just swap batteries instead of charging, and synch using Bluetooth.

[gazzaman2k]

um feckers its working fine syncing but i just tried my car charger on it and that works fine?!?! :?: this is confusing lol ill just charge it up via car all the while lol

cheers for the info peeps but if anyone still has the connector/brocken pbc ill buy it from them :) cheers

This IS a COMMON fault.. two of my friends had this problem... me too.. i dropped my i-mate and i damaged the connector but thanks God it only got slided to the front and i could push it and get it back to its original position and it worked 100%..
but my friend couldnt make it so he sent it to Carrier Devices main centre in Dubai and they fixed it for about 35$..
it's really strange that O2 wants 180..

anyways this is a common fault and all xdaII users should watch out when the put or take their devices from the cradle..

I have a similar problem on one charger but the xda charges fine on the other charger so it could also be a problem with the plug rather then the xda socket.

just opened up my XDA 2 to have another look and one side of the connector is like bent upwards and cracked 3 legs of its solders.... i got some plyers out and tried pulling the mettal outer bit down and it ripped straight off lol, i resoldered the legs back into place all works fine except the connectors havent got nothing to clip into and its very fragile now.

also wanted is brocken IPAQ 38XX, 39XX, HP's they all have the same connectors on anyone help me out here?

i took my dads ipaq 3870 to bits and its exactly the same conector im gonna desolder the connector off a brocken ipaq if i can get hold of one then put it into my XDA 2 that will sort it good and propper :D

so anyone got any brocken Ipaq 38XX and up or XDA2 pbc or xda 1 pbc?

cheers

I have a duffed up XDA here!.

Duffed up coz I broke the screen.

The rest of it is as good as new. Cross my palm with silver and the world is your oyster.

I've run out of stupid sayings now.................but I do have an XDA for you! I bought a used replacement rather than sending it to PDAsmart.com for repair. PDAsmart want $199 plus the postage to replace the LCD. In real money thats over £130. The replacement cost £110. Maths was never my strong point, but where the heck do they get of charging that amount for and LCD?
Let me know if you want the old XDA :D

[gazzaman2k]

how much u asking for the PBC mate? is the connector undamaged?

lmk a price mate :) and ill see

[eayuwna]

I've got an old XDA I that's fine but stuck in in-car mode so it keeps discharging the battery, otherwise it works perfectly fine). You can have the lot if the price is right, might as well send you all the box and everything else too if you want it.

give me an email and you can have it, willa@blue-print-rail.co.uk.
