Xoom2/Xyboard USB/HDMI card needed

[mikeymike75]

I am looking for the card that has the micro usb and hdmi ports for a Xyboard 10.1. I would assume that the Xoom 2 would have this similar setup but I am not sure. If someone has one of these tablets available for parts, let me know. I have searched for hours trying to find somewhere to buy this with no luck. I also tried my hand at soldering and that did not go so well. Please let me know if anyone knows a way. Thanks!:cyclops:

Plus one.

If somebody has this board, please, pm me.

FYI I ended up buying a shell on eBay for $120. I got more than I needed but now have an extra screen.

Yes..Me too..I have two new XYBoards and from what I read, after about one year, the Micro USB/HDMI card ports are worn out..SO..I would like to prepare for the upcoming failure..Please..any information on availability and purchase of this card would be much appreciated..

Xyboard Uses

I'm a little off topic here as my Xyboard (knock on wood) works great. BUT, what are you all using your Xyboards for? As in, I'm at a point where I can't find more uses for it other than a Music Player in my office and a sketchy universal remote in my living room. If mine crapped out, I don't think I'd be motivated to fix it. I want this thing to excel (I really do!), but because there's been nearly-zero development on it, I don't find myself reaching for it very often. (I've got the $35 Second Shells case for it as well as the Moto Bluetooth Keyboard; I've babied this thing).

I've even thought about mounting it in my car just so it becomes relevant again. Am I missing ways where it can be useful?

Sidenote: my Samsung Chromebook fills 90% of my work/media consumption needs and my Razr M fills out the other 10%.

Also: if it does crap out, I'll totally give you my USB/HDMI port card. I'd love for it to go to a good home.

Hello Friend..
You do own a very capable tablet, what OS are you running, Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich.? I did enjoy GB, but ICS is more advanced, alot more overall performance and options..And especially with the "promised" Jelly Bean upgrade..WooHoo..this tablet will be even more capable and useful..

With ICS and the right Apps. These XYB's will surprise you..Since my last post here..I have purchased a couple junked XYBoards "buy as is" from Ebay..took the two and made ONE that function flawlessly..one had a bad motherboard, the other a bad battery and charge port..

And this is the one I'm using now..SO..I own one of each MZ617 models..a 16, 32 and 64 GB..I love to tinker with these things..THANKS to Root capabilities, SafeStrap and a few more Mods..anyway.

With the correct Apps..these XYB's are a very helpful tool..I will mention only a few functions very useful..

Printing wirelessly world wide, file transfer via Bluetooth and more, office document creation, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint (namely a few)..Measuring distances (feet/inch/metric)..GPS travel ..Cook books, Free Hand note taking, high quality camera and video camera, MP3, MPG, Divix, AVI player, bar code scanner, auto VIN number scanner, auto diagnostic functions, voice recorder, Police, Fire scanner, Social networking, Live video chats with family and friends, Electronic book reader, Graphics editor, video rendering, cloud storage, USB compatible, buy_sale on EBay, Email, alarm clock, stop watch..the list is longer, but I will stop there..is there ANY laptop that can do all this without armfulls of attachments..I cannot imagine without a tablet..and all the above mentioned, a woman can hold in her hand.!!

OH..first and foremost..I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses..I study the Bible, have the monthly magazines such as the Watchtower and AWAKE!, and our weekly study material, Daily Text, and much more of JW's reading material..I have the complete Bible also in MP3 format, and much more on a single (one) 32 GB Motorola XYBoard 10.1 tablet..I use the tablet in the ministry, going door to door, during our two weekly meetings also..

Now my laptops set most of the time, they are jealous of my XYBoards..now they are only used to Root another XYB or to copy and store my many SafeStrap backups and other files..lol

I certainly hope all my babbling helps you to see, just how Awesome these XYB's really are..

I hope you will find comfort and usefulness with yours..take care..

I found one. It's for the xoom2 but the number on the board is the same 1016326001. Looks identical too. They had 10 in stock. If you wanna wait i'll let you know if it works, just ordered 1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-VERIZON...048?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e80ba8bf0

Auction says used but description says This is for the 10.1in Motorola Xoom 2 MZ617. This is a new, unused part directly from the manufacturer.

With having 10 available i'd assume they are new. I sent him a message asking. regardless i ordered one.

 

[NWKENT]

Thank you for posting the link, the auction definitely states, "New"..WooHoo..there is hope..I will watch the sale, I hope you receive a new one for your device, Don't know how the EBayer got ahold of 10 of these, but that's great, They are in Calif..seems as thow Texas and California gets most of the good Motorola stuff..lol..

Anyway..I hope the EBayer can get 100 more..I personally just purchased the new Droid Maxx last week, and plan to purchase another in a couple days..So my budget is stressed at the moment..if the EBayer doesn't sale out in a couple weeks, I hope to purchase at least two charge ports..They also have a motherboard for MZ617..I have a 16gb model with a bad MB setting here, I'd like to repair..

i emailed him about xyboard and the used, he said he would add it to the description (he did, now has xyboard). he didnt mention the new/used but i see its changed to new so i'm sure the one i ordered is new. I also won an auction for an 8" xyboard for $37 a few hours ago, i was hoping it had the same usb board, they looked the same on the outside and they fit the same dock.

 

[NWKENT]

WooHoo..thank you for contacting the EBayer about the port, also, glad you won the 8" auction and I hope its the same port as the 10"..

faulty charge port workaround & power button request

Yeah, I just bought one of these too although I had got around my faulty port by wiring straight into the battery.
It works really well - it even charges off my regular phone charger now. or the usb port on my PC.
The software doesn't recognise that it's charging but after about 4-5 hours it's fully charged again!
I just hacked off an old usb cable and wired a plug on the end to match the new one I connected to the battery.
I passed the lead out through the hole in the case for sd card/sim socket (mine doesn't have an sd card port)
Make sure you pass it through the hole in the case before you wire up to the battery otherwise the case won't snap together,
and don't try wiring the plug on after connecting it to the battery as you're likely to short the battery.
You have to join the data wires on the usb lead together and this signals to the computer to deliver full current to the port.

What I'm after now is a ribbon with the power/volume buttons on it as while I was doing the charge repair
my son got hold of it and picked off the naked button with his finger nail. (See pics below)
Does anyone have this spare part? It's for a xoom2 mz616 or 617 10" screen. Don't know if any other models will fit
but I can't turn it on now

Please help!

Sorry I tried to insert the pics but xda wouldn't allow it. PM me if you want to see.

never wire a battery direst to the usb charge port!! that is just nuts
Ebay has the new board for like 15$ or if you can solder the port for under 5$

Yeah, I thought about soldering it - but have you seen how SMALL the parts are???
I even bought a new micro usb port for £2, but it's way too small.
There's no way I can solder parts that tiny.

I don't see what the bid deal is connecting the battery direct to the usb - as long as you don't leave it in too long?
it will level out at 5v and stop charging when it has equalised.
And I never left it in so long it got hot or anything - you have to monitor that.
You may be right, I don't know. I didn't try it long enough to test thoroughly as I got a new usb/charge port off ebay.
It wasn't $15 though - I paid $40 for a new one.

The boards all sold out and i sold out of the 100 i bought in a week. The battery may charge volts is 4.2 so 5 volts will cook one
