Hey guys,
Does anyone have broken G1. My antenna cable is broken. I cant find this cable anywhere. This is the longer one. I will cover postage cost. I am from Poland. Please PM me. Thanks.
I really wish I could send you one.
But my parents would kill me.
You can wait 3 years when ill be 18 and able to make my own desicions
i have lots, but first may i ask how you broke it? were you trying to take it apart? or is it the board that is broken not the antenna?
or are you just talking about the wire? shorter wire for antenna board and longer wire going to the gps board
He's looking for the longer wire going to the board apparantly
The gps and antenna is easy to mix up....but I'm sure he got the "longer" part right
My longer wire is broken. I managed to put a screw through this wire.

here is a link for some parts on ebay, id recommend looking for something local. if you really cant find anything i guess i could send you the cable in an envelope.
shouldnt cost too much but i'd still require you paid for it

Ok, so i have the "power button failure" problem. No more warranty, and the local gsm repair shop can repair it, but doesnt know where the connections go, to make a bypass.
anyone has this manual, or anything that could help me?
thank you
You can't repair it.it needs a new flex cable.

I had this problem recently. Out of warranty. Sent to HTC repair center and got quoted for about $50 USD (given that I'm in Singapore, there is a physical HTC service center that I can go to).
If you want to fix it yourself, you can buy the board from ebay, this is the cheapest of them all, with tools included.

You can follow some disassembling guide from ifixit or this youtube series (very detailed, but to repair the cracked screen instead) to replace the flex cable and board. Should not take more than 1 hour. I planned to do it if the quote is higher than $80, but it's not.
Let me know how it goes if you decide to fix it yourself. Take a few pictures as you go along would be great too.
Easy way to start nexus one with out power button:
1)Plug in phone through USB or wall charger.
2) take battery out
3) put battery back in real fast
Phone should boot on.

thank you guys for replying, i knew i can replace the board, bu i wanted to see if i can "fix" the flex cable. i gues there are only 2 wires inside it and i need to see where those go. not to fix it myself, but the guys at the shop. i think they can use a "strap", which is a loose wire connecting the 2 points. i dont really plan on using that button very much, i got used to the trackball wake, but, i want it to work, just in case

I've taken my 2 nexus apart, and I can tell you that there is no easy fix.
ok, update
i have fixed it in the gsm repair shop. well, they did
they waited to come in another faulty nexus to check which wires were faulty, compared them, and they put in a new external wire replacing the old one on the circuit board. everything works now. it costed me around 30 usd. anyway, i intend on using trackball wake though in the future, only if necessary the power button
Hi ,
Yes you can repair this problem. Besides the option of buying a new flex cable for 50-80 USD, I found in this very same forum a thread where somebody posted a picture and indications about how to repair the flex that contains the power button.
If you disassemble your N1 and remove the large flex that carries the power switch you will notice that i has two large connectors on the bottom end.
One of these has 44 pins (two rows of 22 pins). In the top row of this connector, counting from the right the pin number 10 is the one that turns the nexus one ON/OFF
The switch does this only by connecting it mmomentarily to ground.
TO FIX IT:
All you need is a fine end soldering iron, a good lens, a T5 screw driver, soldering wire and adhesive tape. And most importantly 20 cm of very thin magnet wire (enamelled copper wire of about 30 to 50 micrometers in diameter (it is thicker than hair do not worry).
Then solder an end of the wire to the pin #10 as counted in the way i described. route and tape the wire along the flex until you get to the switch.
the switch has 4 pins one pair is ground, the others go to pin #10 in the 44 pin connector. The ones that are gong to the pin #10 are actually on the side of the switch that has a golden "[" bracket. Solder the end of the wire that comes from pin #10 to any of these two pins of the switch. This completes one part of the process. (the most difficult).
The back of the board that holds the switch has a large ground plane. Solder a second piece of wire to this golden pad. From there, stretch about 30 mm of wire towards the upper corner of the logic board, and solder the end of it to the round golden pad where a screw goes. This is a ground point.
Reassemble the phone. Your power switch should now work again.
I hope this helps.
Jose
This may seem obvious to the tech savvy but not to all.
I bought a new flex cable/board on ebay. It was supposed to be new but it is obviously used. I have my doubts that it works. I am trying to test it before installing. If I press the power button, pin 10 (as described) should be electrically connected to ground, right? This is not the case with the board I have. Is the connection between pin 10 and the switch a direct trace on the ribbon cable or is something else involved? is there a diode or anything else in this circuitry? Does the battery holder come into play?
Other information. My phone does power on with the charger/remove/replace battery trick. All other buttons work.
So the microUSB port on my Captivate stopped working the other day (can't connect to pc or charge without applying significant pressure in a certain direction) and I'm thinking about fixing it my self.
I'm really just looking for some advice from people who have done this before. What kind of soldering gun should I get (or will the Radio Shack special work)? What kind of soldier should I use? And should I think about buying a new micoUSB port from one of these parts stores?
Thanks in advance!
I wouldn't fix it myself...there is more to it then you think

I'd stay away from radioshack soldering irons. I bought a cheap $30 Weller iron and it is way better. The repair is not horribly hard. The worst part is removing the bad one without lifting a pad. I lifted a pad on one I tried fixing and screwed up one of the pads and a tiny bit of the trace. Needless to say I could not fix the tiny damaged trace and sold it off for parts. But the new usb went on without a hitch with some good solder and some desoldering braid.
I offer this repair as a service and for way cheaper than ruining your board...

Do you think it's possible to fix it without replacing it? IE Just apply more solder or try to re-solder the current contacts?

It's virtually NEVER the connection between the leg and pad that is the issue, but rather always the inner connector that touches with the pins on the USB cable itself. So basically no, re-flowing the legs to pads won't do anything. I always ohm through the leg to the pad before replacing them to check if it's an easy fix but that's never the case and the whole connector ends up being replaced...
Download Jig Works But Won't Charge/Connect USB
I think I am having the same problem. I can use a download jig that I got from MobleTech some time ago, but the USB will only connect if I fiddle with the connection and will drop out almost immediately. I first noticed it because the phone was not charging overnight. I was running teamhacksburg ICS and thought I had developed the charge bug, but appears that I might need a new USB connection. Have tried differn't computers with same results. Is it safe to say I need a new USB port for my Captivate or are there some other things I should check. Thanks for the help.
If it's finicky like that then yes almost certainly.
So how would you go about replacing your USB port on your Captivate? or is it not worth trying for most people? One of the pins on my port came loose and got smashed to the outside shell. In trying to bend it back, it broke of course. So now no Download mode from Jig and no computer recognition.

I never got a PM but I followed the clues over to mobiletechvidoes. Once you add usb repair to your cart and check out you will receive an email about sending in the phone (after an hour or so) and I have just sent one in. It says send the phone without a battery or battery cover and I went ahead and wiped the phone just for safety.
Anyone ever find the link or know how much this costs?
in my sig if i remember correctly it is about $35
I paid $35 and it worked out well for me! Mobiletechvideos.com is where I signed up and they were fast and professional.
Fixed with vice grips
Just did this and slowly applied a little pressure and adjusted for more pressure at the end of the USB metal connection. It's a sturdy fit now and I'm not losing connectivity.
So the fix is to replace the connector altogether? Does anyone have a digikey part # or equivalent?
My issue seems to be that it charges, but I have no data connection. The pins don't need a reflow. Unfortunately, I don't have a spare micro usb cable to splice and check continuity on hand.
Is there any way I can talk with the enumerator chip to make sure it isn't fried, or should I just do the continuity check?
hi
I have the same problem, i searched on sites how to change it your self, but i couldn't find anything
Just check his signature.

other stuff available from them too. i am a past customer. they saved my cappy
MICRO USB
Anyone else had the USB port become mildly loose (moves back and forth if any pressure is put on the cable)? I believe its on its way out.
In dell streak charging port have two rectagle piece of plastic right? Two of them have been broken. Another piece stuck inside my charger port, i still can charge as usual eventhough two of the pins have already broken. Why? Does it under warranty?
Probably you had a defective device or chances are that you did not insert the cable correctly and broke the pins. The charging port is really delicate if you need to re-solder it. Thing is, if you are not used to soldering delicate parts in a mobile device, chances are high that you would break something else while resoldering. Sell your faulty Streak and buy another second hand one - they are pretty cheap now (150-300usd + shipping on ebay depending on the condition. The cheaper it is, the more scrathes it has usually.). It's better to have a full functionning device than one that will soon stop functioning when you will have trouble connecting the pins together!! Better sell it in my opinion.
It cannot be repaired?
If you know someone who can repair Dell Streaks, then ask them. otherwise......
Damage to the charging port most likely will not be covered under any warranty, whether the carrier's warranty or Dell's. The cost of such a repair would likely approach the cost of a new Streak itself. Dell themselves never bothered actually repairing the Streak, sending out refurbished or new units as replacements.
Final5k's advice is sound. Purchasing a used Streak and then selling yours for parts is the way to go here.
oMG it is really bad. I think the pin gradually be broken 1 by 1 as u said the pins are very delicate. I dun wish to sell my streak. Tomorrow i will try to contact dell.
Perhaps this is the last way to fix it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392360
LOL if i chosen the last way, my streak would look very different.
Is this the item i am looking for?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Charger...Accessories&hash=item1e691b124a#ht_1606wt_952
You will probably do more harm to your device if you are a novice in dismantling phones and soldering parts. The removal of the Streak's housing is itself a pain if you are not careful enough. Where did you buy your phone?
The parts on ebay are usually non original ones as only Dell sells replacement parts. Again using non original parts might bring more problems to your phone.
But the choice is yours, if you want to venture on repairing your phone yourself, just be very careful not to damage other parts as you may end up with an unrepairable phone which you won't be able to sell to anyone.
Something similar happened to me and I just used a fine pair of tweezers and a safety pin to get the plastic out and straighten the pins and now it works fine. One of the pins is broken in my phone but it still charges fine and can connect to the pc fine.
u got the plastic out? I have two broken pin, but cant said it already broken, it just fold inside. I still able to use. Is the pin is the matter of charging speed?
Any one know of a company that can fix the USB port on a HTC Raider in Canada. Rogers wants to charge me $250 to fix it.

You could probably buy two new Raiders for $250! Replacement might be the best bet, as you can likely find one on Kijiji for $100 or so. If you have a local cell repair joint, give them a call, and see if they offer the replacement. It might be tricky since the USB on the Raider (as other HTC phones) is actually a special type of HDMI jack that also has USB (known as MHL).
If you're adventurous, you might track down a broken Raider and attempt a part swap yourself. I've not seen the inside of the unit, so I can't say how easy or hard that would be at any skill level...
Hope you get it fixed up!
The part is on eBay you can always try to do it yourself should be a few small solder points

A friend needed this. We ordered one off ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-USB-Pow...328529?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c422a1d1 ) and although it required opening the phone up and voiding the warranty, it required no soldering. He doesn't open electronics up very often, and said it wasn't very hard to do.
i was babbling abt this in a thread in the dev forum, thot i'd best do it also here in the proper forum for it:
i changed the USB port in my Raider, was very simple. Six little screws, two different lengths so keep track of them. One screw also holds down the teeny cover under which is where the tiny connector resides that connects the port to the fone circuit board. Once the fone is back together that's where you make the final connection between port and fone.
Slip off the battery cover, undo the six screws, take off that tiny little cover. Carefully work off the entire back housing. There's no front housing, just the screen glass and the fone circuitry bundled together.
Micro-USB port and ribbon connector is fastened to the housing with two more of those little screws. Change out the port with the new one. New part may not be an exact duplicate of the old part: that's ok. Reassemble the fone. Under that hole left by the tiny cover, press home the miniscule plug that connects up the port to the fone.
Put back the tiny cover, fasten back all the screws, and you're done. Port cost me $9 USD plus shipping on ebay.

Hey, dude, I know this thread is a little old, but can you PM me the link to where you bought your USB port? I think I need to replace my port (issues connecting to PC and charging requires wire wiggling), but I've read about certain ports not working with data transfer and only charging, and I don't want to make that kind of mistake.

Pretty much like the title says, looking for a place to buy the N10 pogo cable. I know the tablet is a relic at this point, but it still does what I use it for just fine (mostly youtube/twitch), and the usb connector is dying. If you're selling, or know of a place to buy one, please let me know! As far as I can tell it's not available anywhere anymore.
My wife still uses her N10 with pogo cable. I'll be sure to offer it up here whenever that time comes.
I still check ebay and google every so often to see if for some reason they go back on sale (ya never know when someone might find a box of them in a warehouse somewhere), but I never turn up anything sadly. Someday maybe...

Good luck. I actually contacted some cable manufacturers in China a while back interested in a group buy type thing but they informed me it would be around $15k USD just for tooling alone and then there would be a minimum order of a couple thousand units.
Hasn't someone reverse engineered it and just 3d printed a connector casing?
With my non existent engineering experience I see it as chopping the end off a USB cable and soldering the wire to little copper contacts.
So soldering is fiddly and flush mounting the contacts will require a modicum of precision. To an experienced enthusiast that has to take less than five minutes.
The 3d print can be rough with a tiny bit of hand finishing.
Little magnets...

It's not as simple as that. If you just solder off the end of usb, it will still charge at 5V.
The Pogo cable has more than 4pins that standard micro USB cables use, and we need 2 more pins for who-knows-what-for.
This is why most of us still don't have a pogo cable, even though it looks simple enough.
