Hardware Question - USB connector

Does anyone happen happen to know, specificly (ie. manufacturer, or distributor part number or model number) what USB connector the KF uses?
I just bought a used KF and the connector is failing. I have someone that can attach a new one for me but I haven't been able to figure out what connector to buy. Lots of searching and looking at pictures but i haven't been able identify it for certain. If I have to, I will pull the board and look at it but I thought I would ask first.
Thanks

I probably cant help you much but I use 2 different ones both non stock. one is for my droidx seems a little loose but it functions. The other is made by belkin standard usb to micro for media transfer this one is a little tight. when you say fail can you clarify that?
Thanks for your help. I am looking for the connector that is soldered to the motherboard inside the KF not a cable. When I plug a cable in the connection is very loose and I have to wiggle the cable a lot to make a connection and if I let go of the cable the connection fails. I have tried several cables, as well as, the wall charger, all with the same results so I am sure it is the connector on the motherboard. The cables work fine on my other devices.
Thanks again for your help.

its sound more like a loose fitting cable than the connection point itself I wouldnt know how to go about replacing the device end. Possibly might require a new motherboard to do so unless your pretty crafty. Wish I could be more help to you.
The belkin brand is much tighter fit I purchased it at target 16$

[Q] Kindle Fire: Schematic or Service Manual? Failed Micro USB repair.

Good evening everyone!
Have a couple of Kindle Fire's sitting here that I've repaired/replaced a failed USB charge port on and they are not showing any signs of life. Using a breakout cable I have verified pins were soldered correctly and not shorted to each other. I also have one that ripped a couple of pads and think I have it wired correctly. Wondering if there might be any schematics or service manuals floating around for these. Or information/diagrams specifically related to the micro-usb pinouts. I have been searching for the better part of the day today with no luck.
THank you for any help on this.

Delete this thread!
I accidentally put this in the wrong section! Thanks!
Check the charging port for Lent and stuff with a little pin or something..
That's what happened to me in the past
I cleaned it out and start to work again

Of what cujo said didn't work you have no option but to replace the port or buy an external battery charger.

In a pinch you can rig up a temporary charger using the POGO pins on the right side of the phone. Just wire the corresponding red/black wires from a cut up USB cable to the correct pins (you can find the pinouts online). The trick is getting the wires to stay on the pins - you can try packing tape. I know this is kind of a dirty solution, but it will work in an emergency until you can replace the usb port.

Can you link me to the part I need to replace! And a video of how? And how expensive is the part in question? My Galaxy Nexus isn't my main phone but I just wanted it working again.

Well, there is no guarantee that it is the USB board - but you can purchase one on ebay for under $10. The part includes a usb jack as well as a ribbon connector that connects the jack to the main board. There is, however, a chance that you have a faulty main board, in which case, replacing the USB port is not going to fix your problem but the only way to really test that is to buy the part and try it out.

That's for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, I don't remember which one you said you had but you'll want to be sure to get the right one.

Are you using the original charger that came with the phone? It's the only thing i have luck with.

I ordered the new port! But I tried the pogo port charging and it didn't seem to work.

Help! GA6163F USB Pinout

Hi All,
Long time listener but first time poster. I recently installed a Eonon ga6163f into a Mazda 3 and have a customer ROM image running after a load of reading and trial and error. All seems reasonably good considering the hardware isn't new nor that capable by todays standards. I am going for it and looking to include a DAB+ USB adapter. I do not have any HA to USB cables and aren't able to find a source for these. I will need to roll my own.
Would anyone be kind enough to share the USB pinout - maybe a close up photo of the cable on the HA side that plugs into the 'H' port of the ga6163f?
Any details of where each pin goes, such as if it is for USB1 or USB2.
I have only been able to find snippets of details but not enough to clearly figure out which port is USB1 or USB2 and the corresponding VCC, GND or data pins for each USB port. There also looks to be an RCAish looking lead in that cable bundle also. No idea what that one is for either but I don't think I'll be needing it.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
