No More ROM Building for a while

As i went to plug my mini USB plug into my device and it shut off my PC tried to put it on charge nothing happens :eek:
Turns out the mini USB connector on the base of my device has failed :(
Stripped down my prophet and it looks to be a pretty tricky job to solder (terminals are very small and close together :(
Also i am not working because of knee operations so i can't afford to buy a new phone :)
I will still come here and offer support for my ROM releases but i can't cook my new ideas for a while
Unless i get lucky with trying to fix this my self ,need to source the mini usb connector first and that looks hard to find if any one knows where to get these from please drop me a link

Regards W@P

hi men...

my english is very bad, but i will try help to u.. if u have same problem like me

first diagnose of problem:

1. no charge-red-led on charger
2. attach to charger without bat, and pullout charger connector gently, your screen will make white flash in some moment.. try more times, but veeery gently
3. in some times when after some time device is off, when u connect to charger red led blink on sec ( i think that inside bat will charge then )

solution:

connect device without bat on charger, pres red power-on button and insert battery inside, after 4-5 try's it will power-on, if not, torture him with 2. diagnose step some times, and try again ..

my finger are crossed for you

My Problem is that i can't connect to a charger as it shuts the charger off and when i try to connect to PC it shuts off my PC as soon as i connect this is with or with out battery (seems short circuit possibly)

Thanks so much for your kind offer but i would not be able to except as in my life i have always got out of the shit my self ;)

I have located a prophet on ebay for £ 35 no battery and case damage so i am going to try to negotiate for this device and make one good from the two ;)

I tried to replace the mini usb plug all done but now when i connect to my PC i get the message of unknown USB device so not a success with the repair :(

Thanks all for your support and hope to be back flashing again soon (I am suffering withdrawals allready ):D have to find something to flash now :D:D
