My friend dropped his tablet and it broke the charging port, I know that it is just a daughter board hooked to a ribbon cable and should be easy to change but the only place I can find it is pretty sketchy and wants 70 bucks... Does anyone know where to get this for a better deal? And if not is a wireless charger really a viable alternative?

I'm in the UK but used a site called zandparts.com and the board was about 40EUR,not sure what that works out at in dollars but it was a genuine part and delivery was pretty quick. It says they ship worldwide so may be worth a look?

Does anyone know where I can buy a mini USB to Micro USB adapter for my car charger? I don't want to have to buy another car charger.
i bought a few of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N8JJ04/ref=oss_product
they're pretty great
i chose them over a smaller rigid converter, because these are less likely to break your usb connectors
Check Monoprice.com
I went looking for low-cost adapters while waiting for my phone to ship, and there just didn't seem to be any that were cost-effective.
I wound up buying a brand new car charger for $6 on amazon and a handful of new USB to micro USB cables for less than $2 each on monoprice.
I can't see the economy in spending $5 to make my $4 mini-usb charger compatible with my phone, when a new charger is just $5 anyway. I really hope that monoprice starts selling some ridiculously cheap adapters in the near future.
Thank you very much!
Exactly what I was looking for. Now I need to come up with $25 worth of stuff to get the free shipping.
you can also get them at radio shack or bestbuy.. except at best by you have to buy it with a short cable as well cause that the only way they sell it, at radio shack you can by it by itself
I called Radio Shack, $12.95, ouch and no thank you. I can buy a whole charger for that price at WalMart.
Petronic's point is well taken. Gonna follow the same route too.
Thank you for all of the replies!

These deal seem to be to good to be true. Anyone order from them before?
dealextreme.com is real popular in the GPS hacking world. I have never had any issues. Google them and I think you will find they are well used and received.

Dealextreme got some great price. But shipping take about a few week because of international shipping from china. And customer service is bad. I purchase many thing there. For the price you will pay for a item there is a you how you say, "you get what you pay". Ebay us buyer is the best choice for faster shipping and little pricer item for HTC Evo.

I got a few and they are great. Saved me from tossing out my old cables.
i assume that converting the mini usb to micro usb adapters will work with all the tilt 2 chargers i have. i have a car charger and 3 wall chargers and it would be nice if all i need to to buy a handful of these adapters instead of buying all new chargers...never can enough chargers i say.

I picked a couple adapters. I wanted to use one on a charger and one on a data cable. But when I plug them in, the phone thinks it has been docked and I can't use it as a data cable. Will the one linked above work on a data cable?
http://www.meritline.com/mini-usb-micro-adapter---p-47016.aspx $2.09 shipped.
dealextreme.com is legit. I ordered from there two times.
If you want to have some real fun order there cell phone signal blocker. It works awesome! There is nothing more fun that being in a car with someone talking on their cell phone and a second later they are having their call dropped. F'n hillarious!
Hello,
Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement flex cable for the slide? I purchased a phone off ebay, and found that the cable is bad.
Thanks
I'd suggest googling "mytouch slide flex cable"...I'd do it and post a link but I'm not allowed yet
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that out, no luck unfortunately.
Bestbuy, Walmart and so on. A lot of places have the USB you're looking for, hell, it's the same one all newer blackberry's use too. It shouldn't be too hard to come across.
Maybe try... amazon.com. Seen them on there before and ebay sux anyway, it's a www.ripoff.com kind of site for the most part.
if you're looking for a USB cable. do a google search for "Micro USB cable" they look like $1 and up.
If you're not looking for USB...no clue
Its not the USB cable. I'm looking for the main cable that connects the LCD, touch assembly, and motherboard.
Hey dude I need one too. I found it on internet but you have to buy minimum of two.
One cost $60 and two would be $120
If you are sure about this then I can buy two and sell you one.
Here is the link: http://www.globaldirectparts.com/MyTouch-3G-Slide-Motherboard-Flex-Cable-p/htc739520.htm

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220685241015&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
It's about 2ft. and says its OEM Samsung. It does look like the cable that was in my t-mo Vibrant box only shorter.
Purchased on the Thur. 18th received Mon. 22nd.
Hope this helps

Monoprice.com sells them pretty cheaply but if you need one now, the T-Mobile stores (Limited / Corporate - not sure about the Kiosks) have an L-shaped USB DATA cable for $10.
BEWARE! Some USB cables are for charging only. It has come to my attention that certain stores such as Radio Shack, etc have been selling $20 USB cables that do charging only. This is likely not intentional, it's just due to inexperienced staff.
For example, this caused someone to come to me and ask why they couldn't mount their phone to their computer. Well, you can't if the cable doesn't support it. Make sure it's a data cable and it will do both before buying.

if you need one fast, try going to the tmobile store and ask if they have any extra vibrant usb cables (or any other micro usb cable) in the back. say you would pay for it,but u need it quick because your cat chewed yours up. usually they wont charge. worked everytime for me. i did it to get headphones and cables for 3 yrs =)
tmo has them for 15 bucks. just bought one the other day. it wa n the mytouch slide section - dont matter its the same cord.

Why do you want to do that. go to the market and by webshare and you can sync your phone with music and movies with all the gadget via wireless router.
I buy all kinds of USB cords off of Amazon. I bought 4 BB OEM cords for 60 cent a piece and they all shipped to tether for 2 bucks (they were only 3 feet though) . And I got a 6ft cable for 2bucks free shipping. I would try there first. I ordered them all on Monday got them by Wed. The Bb cords came from NJ not sure where the other one came from.

You can buy one at stores own by chinese people.
They always sell cellphone stuff; I personally got one from them very cheap.
So I just bought this case/keyboard combo off amazon today and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it? It seemed to get good reviews and I got $30 off for getting a amazon credit card.

I'm also looking for an extended 30pin to usb extra long sync/charging cable. I was looking at the following one on amazon. It's not OEM, and it seems to not charge as fast as a real Sammy one does, but I suppose thats okay. Is there a place I can buy a OEM extended cable?

Any input?
The link for your keyboard is the same link as for the cable. Do you like the keyboard you got? I just bought a tab and want to find a good keyboard or keyboard/case combo for it.

I just bought a cheap male / female USB extender cable for less than $2. Yeah, it's a bit kludgey but you can get whatever length you want, more or less and they're sold everywhere online for ridiculously cheap prices.
I'm really disappointed there aren't more 3rd party versions of the Tab's USB cable though. God forbid they use something like PDMI.

I do the same thing. Male to female usb extender, and you can have pretty much any length. Minehas about 6 feet of length, plenty in my opinion.

The Juiced systems cable.
I own one of the Juiced Systems extra long cables and can vouch that the cable charges at about the same speed as the stock cable. Make sure you buy from the Stoned Organics Seller. The other people that are selling cables, i have no idea what kind of crap they may be selling. Good luck.

I recently bought one of these chargers on ebay from tuttoit (12V 1.5A 18W AC HOME Charger Adapter for MOTOROLA XOOM 4G LTE 3G Wi-Fi - can't post link due to xda restrictions). The charger works OK (charges quite quickly in fact) but I've found my xoom cannot be used while this charger is plugged in! The screen become unusable and therefore I have to wait until I have finished charging before I can use my xoom again. I think it may be to do with the charger not earthing properly.
Also the black box on the charger gets very hot.
Just posting this info to help anyone thinking of buying this charger.
Further to my previous post: DO NOT BUY A CHARGER FROM TUTTOIT ON EBAY.
Mine died after a few weeks of use. They are cheap rubbish.
(That'll teach me to buy cheap off eBay )
This stinks that you experienced this...but for the most part...its pretty common these days.
I try to use OEM products whenever possible and pay a little extra. I had a bad experience with a non OEM laptop charger years ago...and it friend my motherboard and power supply unit on my Thinkpad - thankfully I was able to find a used MoBo and install myself for 35 bucks.

Good advice.
I took the broken one apart and the circuit board inside had been fried.
Yesterday I looked for a Motorola charger and couldn't find one, even on the Motorola website!
Ended up buying another one from Hong Kong but I think the quality is a bit better (fingers crossed).
What about Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Trav...8&qid=1344675498&sr=8-1&keywords=xoom+charger
Didn't think of Amazon and the price is about what I paid on eBay! D'oh.
Might buy one of theirs as well.
Thanx.
DO NOT BUY A CHEAP CHARGER FROM xiaoqinzhang2009 ON EBAY! Seller now known as micro-estore.
I did it again!
This second charger does the same as the first; you can't use the touchscreen while it is charging and it gets very hot.
I doubt these are made to Australian manufacturing standards.
I'm following tincbtrar's advice and going OEM from now on.
