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

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
I have bought a pair of faulty backpacks on ebay for my XDA IIi.
One of them is totally shot, the other kind of works but there is a bad connection on the connector that attaches to the XDA.
Does anyone have info on the pinout of this connector please?
I checked the XDA II service manual to no avail.
Hi Mr Fusion
I'm afraid not an answer but a sharing of problems - I have lost my backpack lead and can't get another. Did you find the pinout? Any ideas where I might get the connector?
Cheers
Jon
I was just looking for the pinout when I saw this post! amazing coincidence.
Anyway, I was wondering about making my own Wifi backpack, or possibly squeezing an sdio wifi card inside the case on this connector.
But, I need the pinout before I can even hope to try.
To the guy with the dead backpack, how much did you pay? want to sell it cheap to me to experiment with?
Any of you who wants the complete kit plus 1Gb compact flash pm me.

I know that this is not a selling forum, but I've had a lot of help over quite a long time from this site so would like to help out fellow members if I can. If this is not acceptable to the moderators I'm sorry, but here goes:
I've got an XDA2 that has been dropped. The screen is fine, but it's permanently locked into "Calendar" mode and cycles through all the calendar views and options. In all other ways it is in very good condition. It receives and makes calls, and all the functions are available, but I can't always turn it off. It's boxed and complete with cradle, charger, earphones, case, software, manuals, etc., and I'm sure that someone with a bit more time than me could make use of it. It's not stolen, or from any other dubious source - I've upgraded and just don't have the time at the moment - I wish I did, but that's the way it goes.
hi mate
how much would you like for your faulty xda unit?
cheers
chris
xda2 for sale
do you still have the xda2 for sale? if so how much do you want for it?
thank you
chris
I'm sorry but it was sold before Christmas. You might try "Wanted" on eBay.
I also have an XDA 2 for sale.it's in fully working order apart from the charge / sync connecter has come out.I still have the connecter maybe a bit of soldering could fix it?If not I have a link to a company that do repairs a lot cheaper than the xda service centre.Any offers?
i have this problem right. one of the screws on the left hand side of the xda has come out. I dont know when and how, but its gone. theres something rattling inside as well. maybe the screw itself.
anyone have any idea where I can get the screw? im 11 months into the contract so i dont think o2 will help much, if they do, they might charge me silly prices.
Anyone know where i can get this fixed?
oh yeah... some ****er stole my GPS receiver from my car. I need to get a new one.
i had the globalsat BT338 sirfstar III. Whats the best out right now that wont cost an arm and a leg.
Any help would be much apreciated.
Gracias.
For the screws, give HTC a call on 08712230217 and they are usually quite good at sending out a couple to you direct. You will, however, need a TORX #6 driver to put it in (Maplin can provide).
On the GPS cradle the Holux CR-100 is fairly cheap on Ebay.
Try this link (screws etc. for sale)

does any body know what the part on the main board is called i need to have it replaced but its on the motherboard of the phone its the part that connects the sdcard ribbon cable to the main board and it has the little whit lach gate on it to secure the pins, if any body knows pleas let me know kus the gate fell off of mine when i dropped it and i need to sodder on a whole new peice n no i dont have insurnce on the phone so sending it is is out the door..lol
i take it just taping it on wont help, never seen this for sale anywhere and soldering to these small boads is very difficult, ive had bad luck soldering @ this scale. i suggest buying a new motherboard or a broken phone with a good motherboard and swapping. unless you are a wiz at soldering and you are able to even find what you need this will be the cheapest fix
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
yea kinda figured that much thanks for the help but i still whould like to know what the part is called teres a guy selling a board on ebay for 89 bucks and claims it works but the water indcater is red on it so no fillin to buy it plus i got a gooapple for right now to play with till then
