my streak has stopped charging completely. for a while i had to get finagle the cord in the port just right to get it to charge. eventually it stopped working all together.
it appears by looking at the port on the streak, that the 2 pins furthest to the right are broken/gone.
the streak is well out of warrenty and i've read that dell isnt manufacturing them anymore.
was wondering if anybody has had this problem, and if there is anyway to get it charged. or if that port is replacable somehow.
*edit i didnt mean to post this here. i didnt realize i was browsing this forum when i clicked post new, i thought i was in General. my mistake.
Hi I've got same problem any ideas ?
an update for my situation... i checked my service tag on the dell site and my streak is still under warranty after all. so my device is currently at dell waiting to be repaired/replaced.
check your service tag on dell support and see if you still have warranty.
I do but guys said ( from Dell support ) that I am a second owner then the warranty doesn't work with me ... only with the first owner ... thats rubbish because warranty is for device not the person. Oh well ... I won't buy anything else from Dell in the future.

Well it was working but due to a very drunk night trying to reset my Kaiser when it crashed I missed and the stylus went in the mini USB port. It still chargers but I'm waiting on my Contract to replace it.
Just wondering if there is anyway to actually test if any of the pins are damaged.
And a further note. Never go with Orange for a mobile contract. I called to have my mobile replaced as i managed to claim it under "faulty USB port" nothing to do with my drunken experiences. Any ways back to the point. The lady on the phone says, "Once you receive this model you cannot revert back to your old one. So puzzled by this i ask what do you mean? She says, "Oh we don't have the TyTN II in stock so we were going to send you the P3450. Thinking if i didn't ask about this i would have lost my beloved Kaiser.
Any ways Any help would be exellent thanks.

That's absolutely ludicrous. Speak with a supervisor. If you have a warranty from them on the phone, they can't replace it with something inferior. Not to say the Touch isn't good, but it lacks the keyboard...which you make sure they know is something that is a necessity to you.
***** and moan and talk to a supervisor. Also, ask them when will you have it in stock? And wait till that point. Also tell them (and actually do it) that you are reporting them to the BBB. I have had some good resolutions with the BBB getting involved.
You can probably test the pins jus tby measuring voltages, but I don't know specifically the pins out for the Kaiser.
Lastly, as a workaround you can always activesync over bluetooth. But a $10 bt dongle for you PC if you don't have it built in.
Thanks for the reply, did exactally what you said.
Called 3 days in a row complaining and by luck they had some in stock and got it replaced the very next day.
Now that wasnt a hard task for them to do.
Thanks a lot
So I recently broke my mini usb port when trying to fix the pins so it would work with my car charger. The first time I did this it worked flawlessly, but when I did it again the 5th pin broke. I know you can buy a replacement piece for like $5, but how hard is it to fix yourself? I talked to my dad who used to be an electrical engineer and he said you need a special soldering gun to install it. Is this true? If so, would it be like around $100 to have someone do? Also, does anyone know if a computer repair store could fix it? I have had my phone for about a year so I believe the warranty is gone since I didn't get an extended one. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Problem fixed
I had this same problem with my at&t tilt, broken usb port. I search the web and found a company called pocketpctechs.com. Order the sync connector repair service which is around $80. i sent them my phone and they fixed my problem hopefully this is helpful.
80 bucks? ow ._.
this happened to me a while back. Found ppctech and place my order as well. just went down there and dropped my phone off since it was close by. Picked it up the same day. Price is kind of steep, but couldnt find anything else. Tech who fixed it asked me if I like the modded rom I had on it and he was thinking of puting it on there too. lol
Thanks. I would prefer to take it to a shop because I can't be without a phone for a couple days. Could a computer repair shop do this kind of work if I bring in the part? I got one of those local.
why dont you ask that shop if they will be able to do it?
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
I have completely given up on Dell sending me my replacement. All I have is a bad display.
If anyone knows where I could get a bad S7 with the display still intact please let me know.
Do you still need one?
I have one and am having trouble factory resetting it to clear original ower info.
Need a Broken Streak 7
I could use a broken Streak 7. I need the PDMI connector port out of it. I am willing to buy a broken streak for this purpose.
Amazon is selling the part. The dealer sends it from China. I have the same problem and am awaiting the part to replace and will notify as soon as I get fixed

Hey All,
Recently, somehow, my charge pins on my Dell Streak have broken, I can only charge the device slightly, by pulling out the USB cable halfway. I can see the pin board is sorta like snapped in the middle.
I have a few dilemmas now:
1. This device is under warranty, so I should be able to call up Dell and get it fixed/replaced?
2. I have flashed a custom rom to my Streak 7, does this effect my warranty?
If so, how would I go about flashing the Stock HC rom with nvflash? I've tried a few stock HC roms, with no avail.
Any ideas/help guys?
Thanks,
Dean
depending on your warranty, you may not be able to do anything. if its the dell manufacturer one, you cant do anything because that only covers things such as internals breaking like the audio not working or the soft buttons not working or things like that.. but if you purchased one separately such as through bestbuy (do they even sell the streak7) or frys etc, then use the nvflash to stock guide. they probably will only check for superuser in the app drawer. but just to be sure you can let the battery die completely and show them it doesnt charge. then you should be in business. just be sure not to bring it up.

Hrm, its Dell warranty, so it should be okay? I'm gonna call eventually tell them it isn't charging because the port seems to be stuffed. Hopefully I am able to get it fixed :\
if you can make sure they know it was in no way your fault then your good.

Haha, true! Well it was no way my fault! I treasure my streak like it's my baby! I don't understand how it has broken, but since the charger is crappy, that's probably how it broke
yea mines my baby also lol. but be sure to pull the charger straight out. like dont try to angle it in or out.
