Killing my XDA using the wrong car power cable

[Tanguy]

My GPS HW Company has sent me a wrong car cables powering a GPS and my XDA. I plugged it in and burned the power fuse of my PDA. But the microphone of my phone is not working either as people cannot hear me when I talk! :x

Before I can try to do anything for the speaker part, I need to know what cables they have shipped me (as the company refuse to accept they have shipped this cable to me :evil: )

The car power cable is powering a Haicom GPS on the one side and a PDA named “IC-MOI-HT for MOI 528/338” on the other side.

Does anyone know this type of PDA :?:
Would the connector also physically fit in an XDA :?:

If the connector fit, it was for an iPAQ. They use the same connector, but it is wired differently. If I recall correctly, the power pins on the iPAQ cable would go to audio pins on the XDA...very bad.

You can take a look here:

If ti really was an Ipaq cable, maybe it helps you....

I think you have been supplied with cable for the Mitac Mio series pda.

Thanks Cruisin

Do you think the connector would fit in an XDA ?

Or same question put differently

Does the cable arrangement for the Ipaq also applyes to this type of PDA ?

[Tanguy]

Well Well!

Impossible to know what exact cable they have sent met. :cry:

What is sure is that wallaby connector 1 2 3 & 4 were connected to power in from the car battery through that cable

I had a techni guy repairing the power fuse which burned. I'm half way now as I can power in my XAD and use the PDA part. :?

What seems to be the last problem is that my PDA turns systematically into car hand free mode when I place a call.

The screen display something like "microphone activated" (can't recall exactly). Something muse have mess with pin N° 19 I guess
CAR_ON# is connected to +6V on the car charger, it's not connected in the cradle. +6V makes the phone go to speaker mode immediately when picked up or dialling. 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.

How to solve this case ?
Is there a component/chip that needs to be replaced on the mother board?

hi Tanguy,
I think the better way for you is to change to mainboard. That is the best solution.

Thanks.

I have an xda 2 mainboard that will work anywhere except uk as it is blocked owing to insurance claim, will sell for £50 plus post.

Looks good,

But I need an XDA main board

i have an xda main board from one that got the screen smashed. not tested cause i can't see anything, but i was still able to make the last call stored in the memory by pushing the talk button twice so it is probably functional. make an offer if you're interested.
