USB connector broken..

[dieterpapa]

Hi all,

my Athena fell down while charging (kiddies.....) - now it seems to me that the connector is broken somehow. I can't chrage the device anymore and don't get contact to my PC anymore.

Warranty exchange isn't possible due to customized ROM. What can I do ?

PPC Techs repaired my HTC Universal when the USB connector broke, give them a try:

Thanks galt,

but seems to me a little bit far away.....:(
Would prefere a source to buy spares and do it by myself or have a repair service in Germany or even Europe...

Sorry, I forgot to check your location... HTC might have a repair center in Europe...

i don't know how it works with "The Phone warehouse" but here in the uk their parent company Carphone Warehouse have usually a flat fee for repairs, maybe ask The Phone Warehouse what they might charge ?

I think you can open and try to solder usb pin on your own.
its should not be that difficult task.
I have done this with my Motoming

Hello,

have already opened the device. Sadly it's not only a standard USB connector but a special HTC connector with about 10 connections...it's nearly impossible to re-solder :(:(

Dieter

But I'll ask phone warehouse in UK.

As a temp setup, why not get a docking base. they normally have a battery charging on them too. Keep you going until you find a repairer. they come up on ebay
