Hi, my port broke. I managed to resolder it but now when I plug the phone to my pc, windows displays the usb not recognized alert... How can I fix it.

It sounds like you did not resolder it correctly.
Check with a magnifying glass to make sure you didn't accidentally bridge the connections with solder.

i think i have that problem... i soldered the usb port for a 8125(wizard100) and it charges fine as i can see the light. it charged for a couple of hours then the orange light turned green. so that's good. but i can't seem to get any response. i tested the battery in another phone to see if it actually charged (i was kicking myself before thinking i messed it up). so i dont think the board is dmged.... however does anyone know which pin corresponds with power, etc. so i can test for a response?

Ok, so i tested the unit without the battery and it comes on. However i can't seen to get it to work with the battery in it. Oh yeah one more thing the unit keeps cutting off.
