XDA EXEC mini usb connector help

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

Fujitsu Siemens N560 connector plug

Dose anybody knows where I can find a Fujitsu Siemens N560 connector plug for using it in a DIY hardware project?
It seams that the same connector type is used in other HTC manufactured devices like Dell Axim X5x series and Asus MyPal A636N but the size and pin number differs.
The FS N5xx connector has the following specifications:
- 26 pins
- 0.5mm ping gap
- about 16.7mm width
- about 2.25mm height

also interested
I am also interested in purchasing a plug like this with a USB plug on the other end.
Thank you

Kaiser LCD Swap

will a display from a cingular branded Wizard swap out and replace a cingular branded Kaiser with minimal heartache? I am ok with smt soldering but was curious if the ribbon cable position and pinouts were the same. Thanks

Serial COM port in HTC proprietary USB

I found special solutions - possibility to use COM ports on most of HTC devices
You have to use spcial Nokia's cabel DCU-5 and 11pin miniUSB HTC plug .
After cutting it close to Nokias plug you can find four wire.
Please chceck voltage on connected to PC USB .
White ( earth)
Red 0,15V
Blue 2,34V
Green 0,49 V
If you have the same voltage it's mean
Blue is TX
Green is RX
So you can find in HTC miniUSB possiblity to finnd Tx and RX as on drawing .
To connect with PC you need to use Nokia's driver for virtual port .
Maybe better solution will be use of max3232 circut .

Very good!

do you know the corresponding colours in htc's extusb headset cable? i mean what to connect the dku-5 wires to in the extusb cable, because i don't have breakout board.

According to drawing http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/media/EMU_pin_config.png
I founnd colours only for audio pins in ExtUSB :
Data pins has to be standard colour code , I think .
So please chceck
A = GND colour Black
B = NC
C = +DATA colour White
D = -DATA colour Green
E = +5v Colour Red
Audio pins
1 = +Mic colour White
2 = +Right colour Red
3 = Switch colour Blue
4 = Gnd Colour Red-Yellow
5 = Mic Gnd/Antenna Colour Yellow
6 = +Left Colour Green

What about charging?
Hm, so this means that if we use this scheme to connect a serialport to the miniUSB-connector we cannot charge the PDA at the same time unless we put separate charging-wires on the +5V and GND...
I have been in contact with HTC about this because we are desperately looking for a solution for a problem we have. We use HTC Advantage 7500/7510 who have a USB-host built-in and using the VGA-out-multi-cable that comes with the 7510 we can get a serialport using a usb-to-serial-connector, but the one that HTC makes is a bit too big and we want to build the connector in to the vehicle cradle.
Your solution might actually work, we need to test this. Huge thanks for the info!!!

Couple of notes...
Instead of hunting for voltages on the various wires which may or may not be color coded the same way, it might be easier to look at the following page:
http://jethomson.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/ca-42_dku-5_pinout.jpg
And then (if you've got a continuity mode on your meter), just strip the end of the garbage half (dku-5 connector) of the cable you just cut and tone out the pins to figure out which color means what. It certainly made it tons easier for me. In my case the RS232 RX, TX, and GND were White, Green, and Red respectively.
Also, the drivers listed above may or may not work for you, depending on who made the cable you bought. I purchased mine on eBay for $4 US. The following table shows a list of various DKU-5 cables and their related linux driver (which may help you discern the manufacturer):
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Cables#DKU-5_and_CA-42
I attached my cable to a linux computer and ran "lsusb" from a terminal. This told me that my particular device was an ArkMicro Technologies 3116... Once I found drivers for that device for Windows XP, I was fine. I'm not sure how you'll figure out the device manufacturer from Windows, but someone here will figure it out

So if i modify the Nokia Cable, i can use it as serial wire to debrick the HTC G1/G2 ?

[Q] can I repair a plug on the motherboard ?

Hello,
When replacing the LCD screen, I broke a record.
The plug is used to connect a cable that connects the two part of the motherboard (near the GPS). If I can replace the plug with wires ?
The current cable 4 wires: (black / green / brown / red).
The photo is attached to my message, the broken plug is surrounded by a red circle.
Thankx

In short, no, the PCB itself is pretty much destroyed, you can try to solder wires though, but it'll probably just cease to work

Hello,
Does this plug is for the GPS ?
I do not know their starting points soldering ?
Thankx
