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

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 think that i have read somewhere on the internet about maintenance manual for universal, may anyone has it or its link?
If no, how to disassemble my universal, the LCD coaxial cable is damaged, and i cannot hear the sound from the side speakers (the media files or ringtones) hear only the sound of call from the ear speakers on the screen side. I have read a thread before from fluffcat1, he said that he knows how to disassembe univresal and also how to repair the cable if the damage is minor which may be true in my case. Please help me, the new cable is too expensive in my country. Thank you very much in advance.
37 views aND ABOUT 3 DAYS WITHOUT ANY REPLY, I HOPE FLUFFCAT1 WAS NOT AMONG THOSE VIEWERS.
Anyway, this is my experience, may it beneifit anyone here. I decided to open my Univ. downloaded the service manual from the internet and dollowed the steps to tear it down. I didn't completely dissassembIe it, I found that a main part of the cable exposed after removing the base of the device, I fixed that part wirh a piece of paper, and i think the device is working good now, except for sporadic call drops. Do u think that this drop is attributed to the cable, or as I think it is a separate issue?

I have no idea how much a motherboard would cost - fire a price and if it makes sense for me, I'm interested as my headphone jack is gone and I can't find it on its own.
Nice little store
If you would like to replace your main board there is a store by my house that has every peice that you need to build a new one. I live in taiwan. The parts range from $1.00-10.00. So, if you are in need of a special part let me know, maybe I can help.
Hi Cobb,
That would be great - I'm really looking for a headphone jack port as mine's gone and I had to eliminate it as the Uni was under the impression I had headphones connected at all time.
If you can check the price of this out, it would be cool.
Tks.
Sure

It is around $1.00-2.00 US. Just to let you know I used the female headphone connection from my Walkman. I will try to post a complete price list for the universal.
The parts are really cheap here, but sending them is not. Does anyone have any ideas how I could send replacement parts, and keep the price reasonable.
Any part that you want to replace should be less than $5.00 with exception to the screen, and the external housing.
For those of you with a broken USB female jack. While replacing mine I noticed that USB's are pretty standard. There seems to be two common types, I used the one from a 4port usb hub. I not had any problems yet.
I hope this helps. The prices I listed are for a single piece.
I have a full unit, everything is fine except for a usb connector that is FUBAR, Looking to get rid of the entire unit so I can buy a new one, shoot me a PM if anyone would like to purchase it or are selling a working unit.

Hi Cobb, how about that price list??? Just my guess, if parts are SO cheap, no transportation can be expensive!!! LOL
Anyways, what I´m looking for, is a new MoBo, you have any prices for them???
Thanks in advance, and congrats to all knowledged and not so knowledged ppl in this forum.

Hi
I was wondering if the connector located under (not behind) the battery works for upgrading Pocket pc (PDA2) like the usual one, because it has broken tracks.
Also if anyone knows where to get that alternative connector, or at least what's the known name of it.
cant renember what htc model pda2 is
but if it's himalaya it's the backpack connector and i doubt it can be used to sync
also it could be an external antenna connector in which case it also cant be used to sync with
clikc XDA-wiki and find your device it could be that it have a hardware description where you can find info about the connector
I've googled for the Himalaya CF backpack, but drawn a blank... Are there any peripherals actually available that use it?
...or any more tech info on its pins so that we could develop our own?
So, here we go..
I'm badly needing a pinout for HTC touch polaris cruiser (P3650) sim connector, or at least a clue on how can I test the connector if it is working correctly with a tester.
After surfing/googling etc. I've found that everywhere I looked the PN for the connector 50H10062-41M-A is mentioned, but mine is a 50H10062-41M-B(however they look same, according to the pictures) and was unable to find any(!) info about it.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
