Hello!
I have a Himalaya phone(Dopod 699), however, I drop it accidently with USB connector plugin, and it can't recharge or sync. I check the connector on the MB is loss or broken. It's SMD pin on the other side of the connector. Does anyone have the connector layout information, so I can unsolder and solder it back?
Thank you very much.

Hi all ...
I'm new here, I'm an electronics Engineer, but I think I got to a dead end with the USB / Charger connector.
it broke 1 year ago and I bought a new connector soldered it with an SMD soldering iron.
everything worked fine, charges fine no problems.
when I wanted to synch it, it refused to connect. I changed the versions to make sure it connects but the PC keeps on saying that the USB device cannot be recognized.
I went through all the pins that I soldered and made sure nothing disconnected or shorted.
all fine but I noticed one thing ... that one of the smd components is missing.
its so small " less than 1mm "
I just need some tips to troubleshoot the problem.
which pins are for serial communication via USB?
any diagram available to help solving this problem?
I have sent it to the agency and they were un able to help ... they just replaced the connector again that it was already working.
device is : i-mate PDA2K original ROM version WM2003se.
Thanks in advance
visit blueangel section of wiki.xda-developers.com. there should be a pin out of its connector.
if you don't care about syncing and only want backup, a simpler solution will be to use SpbBackup or Sprite Backup program that runs on your phone.
good luck
Actually I need the synch facility to upgrade the ROM. I have been using cab files since ages with this pda so synch. is not for downloading appz.
I have seen the pin config. for the car handsfree connector. I think it will help.
still I need some help with the internal schematics the USB +/- Data pins internal schematic.
Thanks
hmmmmmm........ive bin googling the data connection may be this may help.... http://geektechnique.org/images/usb-connector.jpg

Thanks for your effeorts, but I was looking for the PDA pins, more percisly is the main board schematic at the pins cuz I think there is a real mess there and I need to trace every pin to fix this problem
Hi,
need to know what type of mini USB is on the circuit ? how many pins?
thanks
All mini USB connectors should be created equal, usb (including usb mini) its what is called an idustry standard, thay have 5 pins total, same shape and size always, I wouldn't even suspect that some connector maker could took off any of the pins out, what surely should be, is that the connector must be a PCB mounting type, it would be a better idea to open the PDA, take off the connector and bring it with you when you buy the new one.
One easy solution -that I think someone in the forum has already mentioned- would be to use another device's mini usb conector (such as a broken bluetooth headset or a memory multicard reader).
hopefully tommorow i'll be able 2 post photo
I've bought one of the adaptors to allow normal headphones to be plugged into my XDA Orbit. What I'd like to do is plug a mini USB extension into the XDA then on the other end plug the adaptor in. Ideally it would be 2m long and obviously be male - female. The main reason is that my adaptor lets me charge my XDA up aswell and I don't want lots of cables in front of me. So i'll plug the extension in and run it into my glove compartment, were I'll plug in my fm transmitter and car charger.
Hope this makes sense, i've spent ages googling to try and find one but i've had no luck, any ideas?
I was also searching for one of these and failed. Post back here if you succeed.
Mini-USB extension cable
I found a single source at
http://www.pc-mobile.net/gugf.htm. It's item number CMUE about half way down the page.
I also found some folks who seem to be prepared to make almost anything at http://www.cypressindustries.com/contact/index.html

Mini USB extension cable
I had the same problems finding a mini usb extension. Then e-bay came to the rescue! This guy
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/techno_toys/
has just what you need, a 1m long mini usb extension cable for less than £10.00 !
Cheaper and faster than waiting for it to arrive from Hong-Kong
Bill Kelly
Thanks all, google a mini usb extender and this was the first thing that came up. Can't believe these cables are so rare!
FYI my supplier was Keven from Techno Toys on ebay UK http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZtechno_toys
those links you posted don't have USB mini female to USB mini male.
I only need it to be 3 inches.
also, would that 3 in 1 work for my wizard?
Thanks!

This is a link to the current listing (as of 11 Feb 08):
mini usb extansion cable on e-bay
3 were listed, but 2 have already gone. They are 1.2m long too, not the 30cm that you need, but maybe you can cut/re-solder it? They are pretty rare though, so not sure I would risk it!

These wont carry the audio though. They are only 5 pin and carry data only. Ive got one of these cables and the 3 in 1 adaptor. The adaptor is extusb and has 11 pins, and this cable is regular usb with only 5 pins. Not only that, they dont actually fit together as a male extusb is a slightly different shape to the female regular miniusb. Obviously Female Extusb to male miniusb would work, but this cable is the wrong way round for that.
made my own
I was also looking for one to use in my car. Couldn't find any so I made one. Used a vga cable, cut the htc usb charger/2.5 headphone splitter that came with my touch, and soldered the cables together. I'll post pics tomorrow if i get a chance. Btw, i got lucky, because while trying to solder one of the last cables, the yellow cable that connects to the end of the 2.5 headphone jack came off. Luckily, it wasn't the cable that was for left or right channel.
I couldnt find an 11 core cable small enough to look good. VGA cable isnt too thick though... tempting.

Nice, I wish i had soldering skills. everytime i try to solder, the solder never bonds.
I tried heating up the wirers, but the solder always bonds to the tip or combine with the solder coil again.

OK, sorry, I had used it OK with my Motorola phone, and that did the audio OK. Didn't realise there were more pins in the PDA cable.
11 pin extension cable
how many wires are needed for power and Stereo?
I am Guessing 1 for right, 1 for left, 1 for Power, and for ground. I am asking because I want to make my own, but I do not want a big diameter cable.
I have the 3 in 1 splitter, so it has everything I need except for length. Is a 4 wire cable all it really needs?
Anyone?...
Here is another source for Mini USB Extension
Man are these cables ever hard to find. I have been looking for such a cable for a long time since I recently found this other guy on ebay. He has 2m (6ft) and 3m (9ft) versions, all USB 2.0 compatible: kabelbaron on ebay I think he ships worldwide, too...
(I think you can also get to his recent items through http://www.kabelbaron.de).

They look like standard 5 pin extensions to me.
People in this thread are looking for extUSB extenders that have 11pins.

What works for me is to melt a tiny bit of solder on the tip, then touch that melted solder to the wires. It will transfer heat to the wires and you can add more solder from another angle. Wipe the tip on a wet sponge after every use. This leaves a thin layer of clean solder on the tip. If you let the tip go uncleaned for too long it turns totally black and conducts heat poorly. If you buy tip cleaner you can sometimes get the black off.
Also, if you have tiny things to connect and little space to work, put a bit of solder on both things first, then touch them together and the heat will transfer into both of them, melting them together. Keeping them steady after you pull the tip away is key to a strong join. If they're trying to pull apart as the solder cools, the solder will look more dull than shiny and be easy to break.
Also, be absolutely sure you get 63/37 (63% tin, 37% lead) solder instead of lead-free because lead-free doesn't melt till a much higher temperature and that's more likely to damage your electronics. Also, I could barely melt the lead-free solder with three different irons I tried and it was very hard to make it bond to things.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder for more.

USB power uses a +5V and ground pin on the top row.
Audio uses 3 more pins along the bottom: left, right, and audio ground. There's also two mic pins along the bottom you might want to tap into.
See http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ExtUSB
I found a good source for mini usb extensions of all kinds. This site really was the best site for USB and Firewire cables. I got mine today.
Edited: This cables are 5pin, just for data and power not for audio.

Hi. I have the following problem: the miniUSB jack, the pins are bent. I can charge the cellphone, but activesync does not work, windows recognizes the device as an unknown device. I do not know how I see the the pins are properly bent. Is there a trick? I hope you can help me. Pascal
Same Problem, USB Jack pins for charging bent
I got a used Prophet from a customer wich doesnt charge
or sync's to Active Sync.
I recognized the two bent Pins and the task is now:
does any one know where to get a new USB jack?
I will solder it in my selfe but i need the partnumber of these
usb jack or i have to finde an identical one. (maybe I disassamble
one of the dead Prophet's in my collection ;(...) but getting this SMD
usb jack off the Mainbord without any damage is a bit difficult,
so i prefere a new part for these repair.
Does someone know where to get a
partlist / Boardlayout with partnames on it.
You need this
just correct it with the stylus .......
Insert the stylus or a toothpick to the port and straighten the 5th pin
cheers!!!
