They have "open enrollment" in total equipment protection starting yesterday, maybe talk to them about that. Buy in, get new or fixed phone.

Wow I am wanting to replace my usb miniport myself I have the AT&T Tilt 8925/HTC Kaiser. The other day I was trying to reset the phone In the Dark thought that I was pressing the reset button on the bottom of the phone, what was happening I had my styles in the usb port DAM IT!!!! Next thing you know I go to charge and the USB port just falls back I then open the unit, and find the usb port has broken from the motherboard, seems to be a pretty clean break, all I need is a new MINIPORT does anyone know where I can buy? An OEM port...
Please HELP!!!!

HELP USB Miniport Broke
Can someone help I have an issue, I broke my usb port, I have the phone opened, I was able to access the usb port it has been completely broken off the board, seems to be broken of clean no cracks on the board, all I need is the usb port does anyone know where I can buy a miniport? Also the correct size of the head for the Soldering pen? Is there anything else I may need to repair this issue. Keep in mind I have the phone open, and Have the ability, but if there is any more steps I may use I would really appreciate it. Thanks
AfroJack
Is this a common problem? Mine is now loose, and it will be so annoying of it breaks off the mobo.
I don't know anywhere where you can buy the miniport, but surely warrantee will cover fixing the miniport?...
I did almost the exact thing a couple days ago. I only noticed now from this post. My pins were bent but it didn't break. I had to bend it pretty far so my charger would work again. Do you have pictures of what it looks like from the inside? Maybe you can buy a cheap device with the same pin layout?
No Picture
No I dont could take one, the usb port broke off the board I have talked to PocketPCTechs.com They will sale me a USB Port for $25.00 dollars I wish they had a picture of it maybe I will call them for a picture. They also said they will fix it for $79.00 dollars. I would like to do myself but for 79.00 dollars well I think it is well worth it.
I had the same problem 25 for the part 0 for a local company to put it in. pocketpctechs does give you the mogul usb port which I think is better than what comes standard on my kaiser. (humorous fact htc wanted $350 and 3 wks to fix it)
its not covered under warranty its considered misuse

there are disassembly pics somewhere on this page, if your comfortable soldering it shouldn't be a problem. did it w/ my 8525.
Hey maybe you can extract the port from this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-HTC-MINI-US...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I get one like the one I posted and it has the HTC symbol on it and everything. It looks OEM to me. Well the mini usb port on there to where you can plug in the headphones has all the pins on there and it seems like you would be able to just extract the one on the adapter for much cheaper. (around $5)
HTC repairs
I recently sent my kaiser to htc repairs USA austin tx and had to give them my credit card number. Anything they find broken not covered by the warranty they fix for $28 which seems cheap since you know they will repair it the right way. Also its oem parts
Hey I am currently living in Austin, TX for school. I just have an ATT Tilt and am not with ATT so I am probably not covered by anything.
damn, smaething happened to me , but it didnt broke off the phone, now that i look at it the usb thing its bend, now I know why the charger didnt want to plug in yesterday...
HTC has a one year warranty and as I stated befor they will fix non warranty items for only $28. That is what I was told when I sent in a Tilt that was not with AT&T.
I think mine must be bent or something too. The USB goes into it to charge, but it falls out really easily. It's not as big of a deal if i am charging it at my house and just leave it alone. The problem is when I'm in my car and it moves around and the charger falls out when it just slides a little bit.

Thats how it started with my apache, now it doesnt charge at all. I found a site on google, search for PPC techs and they do the repair for $60, but you have to be without the phone for that time.
Tilt port repair from HTC USA
Called them about a port repair and was told it would probably be around $350 since it is part of the main board. Might be covered under warranty, up to the technician to determine if it is a normal failure or customer caused.
Too big a crap shoot!!
I just had the same thing happen, and they also told me it was "user error" and that it would be $300+ to fix...... this is clearly a manufacturing/design error and should be covered by warranty!

Just bumping this thread because I have the same problem. One of the metal pins inside the usb port ended up being "pushed down" so my phone wouldn't charge/connect to activesync.
It might be time to move on from an HTC phone, I guess.
The phone was a refurb though, and I've had it for 8 months.
Hi,
Does anyone know were I can buy a NEW mother board for my tilt?
Regards
Mat
i would say, it's time to buy a new phone for you. sell the rest of it you may still get $50 - $100 for parts
new mobo is just not worth it with kaiser
I thought someone would tell me that.
The big question is what do I go for Touch Pro 2?
If you want to.

A google Nexus or an Iphone 4g is what I would go for.
If you really want to fix it...
Find one on ebay with a Cracked Screen..
Just found a company that will fit a new USB socket £35 ($60)
That looks the best way to go

the connector is all that's wrong with it????
did you rip it off or is still in place just not usable?
if it's ripped off, it might be that it took piece of circuit with it, but why worry, just get a battery charger with another battery for $10 together and you don't need the connector.
I disabled connector on my kaiser, by trying to reset it, while I was angry and forcefully pushing pen into connector instead of reset button could have been fixed, but I never bothered.
I wouldn't spend $60 on an almost 3 year old phone.
One day I was charging my Milestone via USB and I unplugged it. The USB pins came out with the charger. My carrier told me that it was user-induced damage and not covered by the warranty, as well as telling me that you can't replace the charging port, so I'd simply have to buy a new phone.
This was quite unacceptable to me, so I went around to cellphone repairing shops and none of them have been able to fix it. In fact, the most recent attempted fix has left the back panel ripped apart, too!
The phone was in perfect condition before.
So does anyone know where I can find this elusive charging port - is it so special to the milestone that I can't replace it with another phone's USB port? I also need international shipping. Yes, pigs fly.
I have a dead Motorola Droid.
It sure is the same charging port.
PM if you are interested, I can ship worldwide.

I see you're still trying to get your phone to work. I may take you up on the offer, but I'm going to try one last phone technician to see if he can fix it. If he can't, I'll find out if it's just because of the port or because of general incompetence. Then I might be able to take the phone off you. Thanks for the offer.
Hi I am looking for a motherboard for my milestone. I am from Germany. My Milestone has a water damage. The only thing that does not work is the touch.
I think if I were an undamaged motherboard in it have ,it work again.
Does your motherboard?
Dear Greetings from Germany Misch xD
won't you need a new touch panel as well? if ur mother board failed, how did u determine touch doesn't work?
Hi
Hmm I think that the motherboard is damage. Because it has water damage suffered.
but maybe I should first install a new touch. Although I think the honest, the motherboard is scrap.
Do you have to sell a Touch?
thx
Hi guys.
I dropped the phone, and know my phone only charging. (PC can't see my phone any more)
I called to US Samsung center they said to call in Europe lol, because they can't find my phone.,etc.
So guys I need to buy new USB port, to fix damn Note.
Where I can find this part
Thank you for helping.
Best regards.
Hi, sorry to hear about your phone but I don't think you should fix your phone with your own money, the phone comes with a 1 year warranty that should cover such stuff and I'm guessing because the phone is not available in the US yet you might want to go down to a Samsung Customer care to see if they can get it fixed or else I'm afaird you have to do it yourself
BTW which country did you buy it from?
Composed on my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app
I'd get a battery charger on ebay asap. Your phone will go flat while you wait though.
Its not a good plan to try your own repair. Its probably a broken solder to usb socket but might be something else and then kill your waranty.
So try to get Samsung to fix it. And a couple of batteris to keep you going till then with external charger.
no understand
Are you saying its charging or not charging?Is the phone rooted if so you won't be able to send for repair, and as your PC can't see it you won't be able to unroot.Try cleaning USB port with nail varnish remover and tooth brush without Battery inserted and leave for 20 minutes to dry.If its not charging then maybe connector has popped off.Its easy to fix just have to remove about 8 screws takes 10 minutes I've done it twice.There are how 2s available on the net.I've looked everywhere for USB port they aren't available yet but toothbrush and nail varnish remover fixed it for me.
i doubt if its a broken solder contact. I think the flex ribbon connector has come loose. if you will open up your phone, then you should just reconnect the flex ribbon connector and your phone should be ok.

Last time I checked manufacturer warranties don't cover "dropped' phones.
There are US service centers that fix phones for a fee.
Guys I call to samsung they telling me to call to europe...
Damn
