Himalaya connector broken, need a back-side sync cabel

[bigbud]

Hello,

the bottom connector from my Himalaya is broken...

Does anybody knows if there is a sync-cabel for the back-side connector ?
Or a female plug (perhaps from a cable extension) would help me to solve the problem as well...

Thanks in advance!

I have exactly the same problem. Any advice on where to find that connector. I can't take to a authorized service, because there's none in Macedonia :(

Thanks

Hey guys, can anyone help please. At least if you can tell me where to find that connector on the internet, so I can change it.
I think it's the same connector as for the IPaq 3800 series, can anyone confirm that. Thanks :)

I have a Himalaya(i-mate Pocket PC) with a broken USB , repalaced by only a charging port so that I can charge it but cannot flash it! Got the intact cradle though. Is there anyone who can repair my USB port so I can flash it again?

this happenend on My first Himalaya too,i´ve searched a lot through the Net
and couldn´t find any spare parts,what I want to say is...
theres a bigger Problem to find Spare Parts then to solder the Port to the board
(yeahyeah...which isn´t easy too..i know...)

But is there anyone who knows what is the backside connector? And is there cable for it?! It will be good to use it! Just to avoid, soldering and finding spare parts! Any info will be good! I have soldered mini usb 2 times and every time i do that after fall it came of! I'm sick of soldering!!!

Look all!!!

The backside connector isn`t for syncornizing an charging!!

It`s just for connecting the "High capacity" battery, you know the big battry with 2400 mAh.

All i want to say, you have to put a new connector to flash roms and charge the battery without take it off from your devices.

Hope i`ve help you with you problem!!!!

I knew that! But if u open a himalaya, and if u see below the back side connector there is a number of small dots, and every single of them are corespondenting for ones where the connector was soldered... So if anyone can find a corespodence for usb connection that will be good project... Just to avoid a use of old and crapy original connector, then u can use any connector u want! (for about 4 pins which is need for charge and usb sync) !!!!
