mini micro USB is defect (battery will not charged)

Hello,
unfortunately, my micro USB connector is broken.
The battery will not charged.
Is there an instruction how can I change the mini micro USB or is there another possibility.
greets uzzoo

You can buy a seperate charger that charges the battery out of the phone, its expensive to have the micro USB port swopped out - unless you are to the job your self :

An external charger I ordered mine.
Would like to change the USB port itself, there is a tutorial somewhere as I ran to get the board?

The simple fact that you are asking for a tutorial means that you will not be able to do this job. It requires removing and replacing the actual port from the motherboard which requires some precision soldering. Send it away for repair if you wish it to be fixed.

That's a bit presumptuous! The OP might well be confident with soldering and internal electronics and by the sound of his post is (possibly! ) looking for a diagram of the board itself.
It is indeed a tricky job but the guys in the repair centre started somewhere too. For all we know the OP might even consider his HD2 expandable for such a learning experience!
Good luck OP. And you can't go wrong with an external battery charger, couple of £s from eBay. Although ive found they tend to only charge to 99% and lose the first 10% quicker than if you'd charged via the phone.

Had thought that someone has already changed the USB beech.
Just wanted some advice.

I had this exact problem a few months ago. If you find a very skilled solderer... i.e. someone competent solder smd devices then you can re-solder the usb connector back onto the board. I would not advise doing this if you are new to soldering!
If you can't then its a new motherboard, and HTC will not pay for it under warranty because its deemed damage do to excessive use.

no the only thing you can do is a new motherboard it is'nt possible to fix it i have had the same problem cost me 200 euro.

Captivate I897 micro usb Charging port. Is it modular or soldered?

Hello
I'm having problems charging my captivate. It's not the micro usb cable because I have tried multiple ones. I do receive power but its not just simply "plug and play". I literally have to tinker with it and if the phone is interrupted it stops charging.
I priced the repair for it online and cell phone repair shops want 60$. I looked up the (SAMSUNG I897 CHARGING PORT) and its 3$. My question to anyone who has repaired or knows. Is this piece modular or is it soldered to the circuit board.
This is the part I'm referencing to.

Sorry I cant post the link because I'm a noobie, and this site has a great feature built in to avoid spam.
Thanks for all you help

I've never taken mine apart to find out but I just saw this post by Statstalker that has some pics of his USB port and it appears to be soldered. Hope that helps.

Repaired my HTC Incredible S USB-Port

Wow, I feel like McGuyver.:laugh:
My Incredible S stopped charging when I was fiddling around with a car charger. Also USB-data connection to the computer did not work anymore.
I suspected that there was a fault in the car electric and a chip was blown by too high voltage.
I still have had a torx driver since I changed the screen on my former Wildfire. So I wanted to see if there was a little chance to repair it.
When I opened the device I could not see anything burnt or so inside. The USB-Port was connected with a flex cable to the main board. I removed it. Then I connected the port to an USB-Port of my computer and tried to measure if there was any voltage. Of course I "managed" to create a shortcut while measuring and my computer shut down immediately. Anyway, I had the impression that there was no voltage at the end of the flex cable. I did a little Google search and found out that there were some offerings for an "USB Flex Board" for the Incredible S. So I decided to spend the 25€ on this little piece of nothing.
Today I replaced the old USB - et voila - it works!
I found some articles on the net from people with similar problems but no solution. So I hope this might help. Perhaps the flex cable blows easily or the solder joints between port and flex cable get broken after a while. Somebody offers the USB-socket without flex cable. This is completely useless because the socket won't broke and you won't be able to solder it on the little flex cable.
If you want to try it on your own. I highly recommend to watch the YT-Video on how to open the Incredible. You should have the torx driver and a very small watchmaker driver for these two very little screws on the main board.

There are many more on YT just do a search.

Same to me before it fully stopped working. I suspect the soldering joints are breaking after a while.

Mine is broken too.
Thank you for that. I've ordered a new one and hope it will work again

I've got to admit that's dedication. If that happened to my phone id just buy a new one lol. So well done!

Thank you for sharing. I'm undecided whether I should repair for myself and really void the guarantee or if I should send it to HTC for repair.
Why did you not use guarantee? HTC provides 24 months?
Don't you trust "Arvato Services Solution GmbH"?
Have you been afraid of being rejected because of S-OFF?
It seems that one can buy the USB connector also at ebay:
Search for "USB Power Charger Charging Connector Port Flex Cable HTC Incredible S S710e G11" or similar.

My warranty was void anyway through heavy ROM-Flashing and I thought I cooked a chip inside at first. If you still have warranty you should send it in of course.
But you have to wait for a while and you won't feel like McGuyver :laugh:

Thanks for the info and for posting the info!

Firstly, I would apologize for replying to a year old thread.
@tricki, thanks for your post. You gave me the courage to replace my damaged USB port. For my fellow Inc S users who have a damaged USB port, you can find all the required replacement parts in ebay. The replacement takes 15 to 20 minutes (Okay, 30 min. for a first timer). Make sure you purchase a kapton tape just in case your old tape inside the phone refuses to stick again (like mine!). To remove the two tiny screws on the motherboard, you need a #0 philips screw driver (I did not have this at hand the first time I opened the device, so I had to order one and wait for it to arrive). Be gentle while flipping the mother board..It is not that hard anyway.
I posted this because I wanted to share my experience with you guys. My phone is now charging normally and the most important part is.... my computer detects my phone properly!

I also changed my usb port. It's really easy to do it. So, do not waste yours money and just do it.
Incredibly Tapatalked!

Phone not charging

Hey everyone,
I recieved a new LeEco Le 2 yesterday. It is Le X526 Indian version. The charging cable has normal USB on one end and USB C on the other. There is no response when I plug the charger. It is not charging. I tried by switching it off and same result.
The adaptor is working as I could charge another device using it. There is no way for me to check the cable since I don't have any other USB C device. Now if has only about 10% left. I have switched it off and kept for charging. What should I do now? Any suggestions please...

Gonna do that. I bought it from Flipkart for an offer price. Hopefully, it can be replaced.
Update : My father has got it to charge by adjusting the USB C end. Definitely something wrong with either the cable or the USB port on the phone. He noticed something weird too. He was able to connect the normal USB end of the cable on the adaptor both ways. Is it also reversible? Anyway, I am gonna leave it untouched till it charges fully and do more inspections later.

I am a little confused now. Now it is working most of the times. Even when it does not, I can adjust it a little bit and it works. In effect, I can get it to work everytime. I am wondering whether the problem is with the cable somehow. Does nobody else have this problem? Is it really worth the hassle of replacement? Somebody please confirm..

There may be some kind of insulator covering one of the contact pins. IF YOU SAY IT WORKS, PLUG AND PLAY, then no need to return. IF YOU FEEL SOME INCONVENIENCE AND HAVE TO KEEP THE CABLE OF PHONE IN CERTAIN POSITION FOR IT TO CHARGE, JUST RETURN IT. MOST PROBABLY, THE FLIPKART GUY BRINGS A REPLACEMENT PHONE WHEN HE COMES TO PICK THE PHONE ITSELF.

Yes replace it.
Why you are taking loss just replace it.

Replace Phone

Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. I have requested for a replacement. But the flipkart customer service is not making it easy. First they wanted me to reset the phone even though this is a hardware issue. Then they wanted me to install SmartChk app to verify the problem. But after that, now they want me to verify whether the problem is with the charger or the phone. When I told them that I have no USB C cables, they want me now to go to some shop and check this. Without doing that they won't proceed.
Update : Everything is fine. I went to a Leeco service centre and found out the issue was with the cable. I found out that if there is any issue with the phone, it would take around a month to repair it. They didn't even have cables in stock. Surely, flipkart will deliver faster. Flipkart gave me 2 options. They would either give me ₹200 with which I can buy a new cable or they will replace everything. I went with replacement. No quality cable can be bought for that price and I don't want to take any risks with USB C cables right now. Hopefully, replacement has no issues.

My Le 2 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not. Any help will be appreciated.

Change your charging cable.

My Le 3 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not. Any help will be appreciated.

This is ultimately a fault of the USB-C design. Look in the port and you will see it has a thin piece of plastic inside of it. This slides into the charger and has contacts on it. If that little piece of plastic gets cracked/bent/broken, the port is toast. Yes, your octa core, 32 GB 5.5" HD display device can be rendered useless by the cracking of a tiny piece of plastic bending.
This is why Micro USB is the superior connector, all the contacts are mounted to the interior of the port that is secured to the device. Yet another example of the tech industry replacing something in existence with something worse just o sell you new cables and adapters.

My Le 2 x520 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not.

usb port broke?

hey all
i have a problem with my usb port
alot of time its no charging too and the cable look too loose in the usb port
first i thought its my cable so i ordered different cables to test it out ( 3* all quick charge cables )
all cables are charging min 500 max 860 mah
with that conclusion i think my usb port is broke so i ordered a new usb port
questions is do you really need a heatgun to change the connector ?
sorry for my broken english

depend on usb port
but i suggest heatgun is better
cause broken stip leads to change motherboard

Easiest fix is a Qi charger.
