Alpine Screen

[nigelfish]

Morning all
I have had an xda2 for over a year which developed a bottom power plug problem,so i bought a new plug and fitted only to discover that it will now charge whilst in cradle but wont sync to my computer.So i bought what i thought was another xda2 for spares of ebay,only to find its a xda2i with a broken screen,which i intended to change over with my good xda2 screen,now i find out that the 2 screens are different and cannot seem to be interchangable,so im left with a xda2 which wont sync and a xda2i with a broken screen,anybody any ideas as top best route to at least get one working so i can sync up and reload my tomtom?

You could sync over IR, or try a seriel cable rather than USB - if you look in the wiki at the connector diagram you can see which pins are used in USB transfer and so which ones may need re-soldering, they are different pins to seriel.

Expansys have seriel cables for a fiver.

With regards to the screen, the one in alpine fits *some* of the himalayas with the push fit connector rather than the gate connector, 2 himalayas can have 2 different screens, they only way to ensure you get a screen to work with your alpine is to buy a screen for an alpine or a faulty alpine.

Try a seller called runpda on ebay. I bought a screen from him for my XDA2i, i would recommend buying from this guy.
