Hey guys, i have been searching on ebay and on google, for a replacement charging port, but i can seem to find the correct one. Some show the charging port only and others whats seems to be the daugtherboard that holds the charging port. Has any of you order from here before? http://www.bluphoneparts.com/blu-vivo-xl-sub-pcba-with-charging-port/, they have the pcb with the charging port on it, but no image. any help will be greatly appreciated thank you.
I purchased the exact part that you linked and this fixed the charging port issue on my Vivo XL. Will need a bit of soldering skill to remove the speaker from the old board and solder onto the replacement board -- the solder pads are small, but not difficult if you have some experience. Two ribbon connectors need to be pulled up (2x small connectors, not the large metal -- that is a cover) and the board itself is attached to the frame by some adhesive.
Now the phone works great again -- well worth the $27 (w/shipping) to fix this common charging port issue.

Hi did you get though with changing the port, my port needs changing but that part is no longer available, there is another site that is selling just the charge port. I have no idea how to change the port. I'm planning on asking someone with a soldering iron for help, is it difficult. Also with shipping to Trinidad the part is 22 us, there's a nexus 5x port on eBay for about 5 us , is there any chance that it will work.
Thanks

I think I saw "just" the charging port when I was searching... looks pretty difficult to just change the port..
I got the little board that includes the charging port for about $27 US...
I just changed it and it was not very difficult.
You have to unsolder the old speaker wires and swap it to the new board... pretty easy...
Just don't let your soldering iron get very hot... test with a piece of very thin soldering wire to where it just melts.
Unplug your soldering iron to regulate heat..
You don't need to add any solder to reinstall.. there is some little dabs of solder on the board that should be enough.
Was for me.

HI! Is there a way for me to get a sub pcba with charging port board? The website bluphoneparts has not been working for a long time. And I have searched on amazon and ebay with no luck.

Hello all, My Tilt gave me a scare when it decided not to charge on my a/c docking station or my car charger... however it still charged on my HTC charger (the one that came with the phone) I also could use active sync and flash roms okay. AFter inspecting the mini usb port I could see the far right pin was bent down and the plastic guide was broken. I bent it pack up with a safety pin and all my chargers worked again. Sometimes the pin gets bent back down and I have to re-bend it back into place. This is really not a big deal to me, i'm just worried about the day when the pin just breaks off from so much bending back and forth. I found the port from this website. (seems like alot of money to me) and I have looked over the HTC service manual for disassembly of the phone. My soldering skills are good. I have soldered in mod chips to ps 2's xboxs and my wii no problem. is this port surface mount? Is it really difficult to replace? Does anyone have any other advice or suggestions? Is this a repair that a guy with decent solder skills can handle?

I'd say go for it man. I resoldered the usb port on my wizard a couple years ago, and i had no soldering skills whatsoever.If you have some experience, you'll be a-ok. take your time disassembling, its pretty easy to do, oh, and a flux pen would be a good idea too.
If I were you, I wouldn't waste $50 on that replacement part. I would try and buy one of those HTC adapter things that turns your port into a data port and headset port and take the headset port from that. I bought one for like $5 and the headset port looks like it has all the pins of the original so you should try that for $5.
heey. I need help with replacing parts!

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.

Try this? Says OEM so I imagine you wont lose functionality.

Resolder micro USB connector or change the SUB PBA board (samsung part # GH59-11676A) for 20 to 25 euros.
It takes less than 10 minutes you change the charging USB port. I bought the usb port from ebay for Less Than nine dollars shipped. Make sure you have the correct revision. on my original part it was printed revision 1.0.
Mine has just started to do this. I rang service centre and they are sending a courier. Its in warranty, as in UK you get 2 years. They'll probably send it back saying I did it but ill let you know how I get on.....

Yep, bad port, just shuck out a few bucks for a new one, just make sure it is stamped for the 7000, not others.
Takes longer to watch a video on how to do it, than it actually takes to change it. Took me about 15 minutes, but I'm use to
working on electronic gear. If you have a small magnet around, place the TINY screws on it, so they don't get lost.
When you get it replaced, look at the pin side of the board that has the USB port on it. Under magnification, flex the usb
port and (at least on mine) you will see the pins coming from the USB port flex away from the pins on the PCB board.
Did a search but surprisingly couldn't any similar threads.
My USB port has become gradually looser to the point that charging it means resting the phone in such away that it applies pressure to the USB connection for it to make contact and charge the phone.
Initially some cables worked better than others but they are all starting to fail now.
The magnetic port has also failed. Does anyone have a solution for fixing the USB port?
Hi
You'll probably have to send your phone to a repair center to replace the "exhausted" usb-port. If you are handy with a soldering iron and have the guts to crack your device open, you should be able to acquire the parts ad i.e. eBay or some such and replace the port yourself. Can't be too hard seeing as it is only a four or six-pin connector that attaches to the board...
Can't figure out why the magnetic charging-port won't work though...

Hey. Thanks for the reply.
I used a magnetic connector that was too powerful I reckon and eventually pulled out the magnetic port. I glued it back in but was never the same after that.
On the USB port, I have the phone for 18 months - should I be able to get it repaired under warranty?
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.
