WTD: XDA2 or XDA1 bottom connector or brocken XDA1

my xda 2 is pissing me off now im hardly able to charge it anymore as i have to bend the charger in the connector to get it to charge and keep it like it.
im needing just the connector from the bottom from either a xda 1 or 2 as they areboth the same by the looks of it.
either a smashed screen xda1 will do or just a xda1 or xda2 barred/knackered board will do fine aslong as the connector is great cond
anyone help me out here?
cheers

Ive got the same problem - but its still under guarantee and back at O2 for repair now - try taking yours back.
Maybe the start of a common fault?

mine was brought second hand mate no receipts or nothing dont think theyll repair it? not even got a box or cradel all i got was stylus, charger and phone itself

Gazz, it doesnt matter if you dont have a receipt, just ring this number 08081003427, they will want the imei number and will then send a packet for you to return the phone for repair.

is that all? hmmm looks like ill be ringing them on monday
btw i have imate software installed on the device and the warrenty sticker is non existant :\ as its been brocken to open the xda2 will they take it still? :?:

Hi mate,
had the same problem, mine is under warranty, but they still wanted 180+ to repair (connector and mainboard). I told them to return unrepaired. I have now got a spare battery (35 from expansys), which I charge in the cradle. I just swap batteries instead of charging, and synch using Bluetooth.

um feckers its working fine syncing but i just tried my car charger on it and that works fine?!?! :?: this is confusing lol ill just charge it up via car all the while lol
cheers for the info peeps but if anyone still has the connector/brocken pbc ill buy it from them cheers
gaz

This IS a COMMON fault.. two of my friends had this problem... me too.. i dropped my i-mate and i damaged the connector but thanks God it only got slided to the front and i could push it and get it back to its original position and it worked 100%..
but my friend couldnt make it so he sent it to Carrier Devices main centre in Dubai and they fixed it for about 35$..
it's really strange that O2 wants 180..
anyways this is a common fault and all xdaII users should watch out when the put or take their devices from the cradle..

I have a similar problem on one charger but the xda charges fine on the other charger so it could also be a problem with the plug rather then the xda socket.

just opened up my XDA 2 to have another look and one side of the connector is like bent upwards and cracked 3 legs of its solders.... i got some plyers out and tried pulling the mettal outer bit down and it ripped straight off lol, i resoldered the legs back into place all works fine except the connectors havent got nothing to clip into and its very fragile now.
also wanted is brocken IPAQ 38XX, 39XX, HP's they all have the same connectors on anyone help me out here?
i took my dads ipaq 3870 to bits and its exactly the same conector im gonna desolder the connector off a brocken ipaq if i can get hold of one then put it into my XDA 2 that will sort it good and propper
so anyone got any brocken Ipaq 38XX and up or XDA2 pbc or xda 1 pbc?
cheers

This could be your lucky day!
I have a duffed up XDA here!.
Duffed up coz I broke the screen.
The rest of it is as good as new. Cross my palm with silver and the world is your oyster.
I've run out of stupid sayings now.................but I do have an XDA for you! I bought a used replacement rather than sending it to PDAsmart.com for repair. PDAsmart want $199 plus the postage to replace the LCD. In real money thats over £130. The replacement cost £110. Maths was never my strong point, but where the heck do they get of charging that amount for and LCD?
Let me know if you want the old XDA

how much u asking for the PBC mate? is the connector undamaged?
lmk a price mate and ill see

XDA I for sale.
I've got an old XDA I that's fine but stuck in in-car mode so it keeps discharging the battery, otherwise it works perfectly fine). You can have the lot if the price is right, might as well send you all the box and everything else too if you want it.
give me an email and you can have it, [email protected].

im alrite now mate i got one from ebay

Will Himalaya sync cradle work with the Blue Angel?

Does anyone have a Xda II/Himalaya cradle they can can test to see if the Blue angel can use the cradle from it or are they completly different
Thanks

It can't use, they are completly different

if you mean the new sync program sync 4 yes its working better if u mean the hardware i cant tell

It works perfectly for me here. I have an M1000 and an M2000 (XDA2 and 3) and the cradles work fine either way around. With some peripherals the connector is physically slightly different but electricly the same, try it you can do no harm.
Rob

No, the Blue angel is much wider than the Himalaya and won't fit in the cradle. The chargers are interchangeable though.

cradle for xdaii/iis
i have the XDAii and the M2000, i cant really remember when i used the M2000 in the XDAii cradle, but im pretty sure it works, but i use my XDAii in my M2000 cradle i know 100% that it works that way around...
But seriously just try, it wont break it!!!!

Further to Mikes comment I decided to conduct a high level experiment I can now confirm that the Himalaya works fine in the Blue Angel cradle (its a little bit wobbly but nothing to worry about for occasional use). The Blue Angel on the other hand I can confirm is too wide to sit in the Himalaya cradle (I guess I hadn't tried to use it that way around before). Rob

Thanks for the info I was going to buy a cradle and bits for a XdaII but wasn't sure if it would fit so I left it
Thanks anyway

HAHA yeah.. I thought I'd done really well for myself by not giving the insurance guy the XDA2 accessories when my XDA2s arrived. Then I realised that the headphones, cradle and stylus' were all useless with my XDA2s. I'm sure they did it on purpose.

accessories
will my T-Mobile PPCPE accessories work with the XDA2i?
I know I may have to re-wire the serial plugs. Same connector, right?

you could do what i have done , have had 4 xda2 over the past year or so, then got xda2s on inshurance , so i have 4 useless cradles , so if you remove all the casing fromthe cradle keeping the 2bords intact , thenusing pvc tape insullate each bord then tape the 2 bords together, you then a USB cable for the xda2's it works fine.

UNIVERSAL : need a Coaxial Cable Pre-assy replacement

Hello
I am new on this forum, sorry if this type of question has alreday been answered.
I've got a UNIVERSAL/ SPV M500 and the Coaxial Cable (linking the screen and the keyboard) has been twisted and is damaged.
Where can I find/buy a spare part to replace it ? the reference number is 73H00233-01M (Coaxial Cable Pre-assembly) as indicated in the service manual.
Thank for your help.

Hey,
If you find it let me know, I need one two. Actually these are two cables the Coaxial (Display) and Coaxial (Functional). My screen goes white in landscape mode and I confirmed it's the cable by disassembling my machine. However was unable to find that cable Will let you know if I find it.

Me too.
I am getting odd touch screen errors and think it can only be the cable.
If anyone knows of a supplier, please post here.
Has anyone tried contacting HTC directly?

I've tried HTC europe , they forwarded me to the local repair centre. this one do not sell spare parts without repairing the item.
I'm trying to contact various shops . I'll let you know if it is successful

Give this site a look, http://www.apexlaptops.co.uk/Universal.htm
I have been having the same problems as you guys. my uni have been getting "white screen of death" for about 6 months now.
I am going to take out the cable and try and fix it myself. (fingers crossed)
I will let you all know how it goes. I felt £60 plus vat and postage was a bit steep.

coax cable
Fixed it!!
I took apart my uni down to the last screw, and rebuilt it.
In the process I did find that i am missing an antenna in the back, it should have 3 but only has 2. oh well it works.
The 3rd antenna is for 3g and i am not on 3.
Anyway back to my uni.
The coax conectors where a little lose, so after a good clean in a solven cleaner and popped back in to the conector holder, after playing for 20 mins I found that they poped back out verry slightly, just enough to make the screen go white and not function.
So the solution is to make sure it does'nt come back out.
ok.
well I have as a tempery solution put a tiny bit of foam on top of the connecter and held it in place with a bit of tape.
If this works for longer than a month then i will solder the cable down.
Touch wood it seems to be working. I will try and get some photos done tonight

Hi,
Congratulations!
What tools did you use for this job(srews, tweezers)?

Anti Static gloves!!
Because of the Job I do, I have an earthing band to connect the phone and me to the wall, and put the phone on an anti static table cover. All is good so far. I am looking at Feb to solder (as i have some leave in). There will be detailed photos and description.
Untill then........

Good done man go ahaed, and plz try to post the photos.
Another question, my universal some times lost its external speaker sound, so i cannot hear the rings, when i press on the back of the device, exactly on the battery cover in the middle between the two dummy holes and the usb port, it works again. Do u think that this is due to the coaxial damage also, even i don'y have any problem in the screen??

I have disassembled my uni and checked for all connections, but there was no improvement. I can confirm that the disappearance of external speakers sound is not due to co-axial cable. The proof is that i extracted my main borad from my uni and implanted it in another one, i assumed that the problem will be rsolved, but the same problem still exists. Ok, now i can disassemble my uni for smallest piece, but any one advise me where is th connection part or the piece that causes that problem. Again a brief description of the problem:
when there is a coming call, i cannot here the ring or it is sevrely intermitent, also when i play any WMP file, i cannot here the sound, if I press firmly on the base or around the keyboard the sound comes again and may last for a few minutes or disappear after another press. So, there is a lose part in the main board i think that needs fixation, but which one????

Hi all
Now it takes me more than a month to upgrade my JASJAR due to a lot of problems I faced during this upgrading adventure… anyway, the last problem I still have is that after upgrading the screen goes crazy, I mean if you press on the screen the colours are mixed for few seconds and then its ok but at any time I touch the screen again the same happened so you can imagine what if I am going to dial a number or write a message …. So can anyone advice me what to do? …
The rom version is 1.13.82
Radio 1.04.02
Extrom 1.13.188
And I think the bootloader 1.00 and I don’t know why I feel that the bootloader is the reason ... I made a deep search but I couldn’t find problem like mine

Sitting next to my M5000 and all of a sudden the screen turned on but was white!
Following your lead I found that the first i.e. 'underneath' connector was not fully home. A little push and all is well.
Took the time to pack out the housing for the stylus to stop the little blighter escaping whilst in there.
Thank you for taking the time to post gingerchristopher.

Do you have made a ROM upgrade?

its your flexible.. the one who connect lcd to the motherboard of your hermes.. i had the very same problem 3 months ago. and i bought it the flexible on ebay for $50..

I had the same problem. If i push the ON/OFF button twicce, one for turn off the PDA and one to turn it on again, i can see the display OK. Orange has changed me the PDA.

Flex Cable Connector
It is the flex cable connector that goes bad. You can get a new flex cable as mentioned before on ebay (I've seen for $35)... or you can try the other fix mentioned on the link in the first reply: disassemble the phone, put a small peice of foam (similar to memory foam) over the flex cable connector, and reassemble the phone. This worked for me. It holds the connector in tighter and the screen whiteout quit. You will need a T-6 screw driver.
