Hey you need to work cearful easy when you iron the wires plus and minus your device need to startups itself then try the green one and white after that use silicon and I think your done
[Gen9, Gen10 General] frank989:
do i need to connect any of the wires together?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] rioni:
No no no don't try you gonna damage the device

second solution, find an adapter 5v 1500ma connect wires directly to motherboard red to red , black to black leave It 12 hour until charged 50%-60% then try the old method.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] scholbert:
!!WARNING!!

Hey guys!

Just a word of caution at this point:

If you speak about the red and black cables connected to the LiPo battery, then i really would advice you not to do so.

As you might know there'd been some evil accidents with exploding LiPo cells. So please be careful giving such advice!!

If you directly connect a 5V wall charger or similar to the battery connector this is very dangerous!!!

With a simple 5V adaptor there's neither current limitation, nor temperature sensing for the LiPo battery.

The cells might explode due to overheating!!!

Please don't try this method and use the connections at the MicroUSB instead.

P.S.: You may describe where plus and minus are located at the connector.

I guess this is what frank989 asked for...

Regards,

scholbert
[Gen9, Gen10 General] rioni:
Hey yes but I also charged battery directly to plus minus it work for me with no problem than then after charged the battery I connectet wires to micro USB port so its safe no problem
[Gen9, Gen10 General] frank989:
direct

heey rioni

i think you misunderstood me when i was asking about connecting wires, i meant connecting the wires in the usb cable?,

and would it charge if i connected the usb cable wires directly to the red and black + & - wires connected directly to the 2 batteries?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] rioni:
No just connect black to black red to red but be sure the adapter to be 5v minimun 700Ma or max 1500 ma.

Do you have a pinout diagram for the connections as there are 5 on the micro usb on the board and only 4 on a standard usb cable.

Thanks.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] ztariqz:
Does the same apply to the mini HDMI port
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Linuxslate:
I just picked one of these up (cheap) at Staples.

It was a demo, and while the case/screen looks OK, the USB port must have taken some abuse. Both the port and the cable were broken.

Not only were the Micro USB connector physical connections loose from the board, but all 5 USB connections were sheared. (Yes, there are 5 -- One is the OTG pin).

I de-soldered the USB connector, and ordered some that say they are for repair of a Blackberry 8520.

These seemed to have the same physical connections as what was in there. (4 through-hole pins for the structural connection)

Any "bottom mount" Micro USB connector should work. If you get connectors with flat structural solder tabs, it should still work, but you will have to be even more careful about using the port. I may try to add some epoxy.

I'll post here whether the patient lives or dies.

Update: IT Lives !!! I soldered in the above mentioned connector, and my Archos now has a full charge. USB connectivity works, too. (have not tested OTG yet).

To answer ztariqz: Yes, be careful with the HDMI connector too. I would not connect a Mini-to-Normal HDMI adapter to the Archos, and then connect a full-thickness HDMI cable to that. Too Much Mass/Rigidity at the connector. Get as thin a Mini HDMI to Full HDMI cable as you can find. Then still be gentle.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] ztariqz:
Mine stop working after prolonged use- I mainly got it for its ability to output 250gb media. Got one replaced by rma but same happened to second unit. Any way around without sending it in
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Linuxslate:
If you have some surface mount skills, you can open the device up, and at least see what the damage is.

Replacing the Mini HDMI, of course, would be a lot harder than replacing the USB connector due to the number and density of the connections.

I have almost 40 years of professional and hobby electronics soldering experience, and I have replaced many surface mount components, but I would consider attempting to replace the HDMI connector quite intimidating -- at least with the equipment I currently have.

What can we deduce from the above?

1. I'm old.

2. I've been doing this for this long, and cannot even afford a decent surface mount re-work station.

3. I should have been a lawyer.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Linuxslate:
Sorry to reply to my own post again, but, I have more info:

First, I have successfully installed the Micro USB port.

As stated a few posts ago, I purchased replacement Micro USB connectors that were advertised on eBay as a replacement for a Blackberry 8520 or similar.

I had to slightly spread the rear physical connection pins to fit the Archos' board, but other than that it seemed to fit fairly well.

I used plenty of solder on all 4 physical hold-down points to try to get some strength.

It now seems to charge fine, but we will have to see once I get the whole thing re-assembled. I'll also have to see how the outside edges of the case look.

2nd (for ztariqz), I also added some solder to the attach points of the HDMI connector. On at least some of them, there was very little solder. I can see where even with normal use, the HDMI connector could come loose pretty easily.

These hold-down points on connectors really need some additional solder to be applied by hand when the unit is built, but this is expensive, so it is usually not done.

Also, I confirmed that due to the density of the Mini HDMI connector, and also the proximity of the HDMI filter chips, reworking the Mini HDMI connector would be much more difficult than replacing the USB connector.

So, thank you ztariqz, your post may have helped me save my HDMI connector.

Hi, okay I have the 250gb version of Archos 80 G9 tablet... it only charge with the supplied power adapter. It wont charge using the USB cable. The pin in the port is broken. So i'm asking if the method offered here will help to power the device.

You mentioned that connecting a spared USB cable to the micro USB will fix the problem, but how will this help power the device and charge the battery.

Xyboard Uses

I'm a little off topic here as my Xyboard (knock on wood) works great. BUT, what are you all using your Xyboards for? As in, I'm at a point where I can't find more uses for it other than a Music Player in my office and a sketchy universal remote in my living room. If mine crapped out, I don't think I'd be motivated to fix it. I want this thing to excel (I really do!), but because there's been nearly-zero development on it, I don't find myself reaching for it very often. (I've got the $35 Second Shells case for it as well as the Moto Bluetooth Keyboard; I've babied this thing).

I've even thought about mounting it in my car just so it becomes relevant again. Am I missing ways where it can be useful?

Sidenote: my Samsung Chromebook fills 90% of my work/media consumption needs and my Razr M fills out the other 10%.

Also: if it does crap out, I'll totally give you my USB/HDMI port card. I'd love for it to go to a good home.

Hello Friend..

You do own a very capable tablet, what OS are you running, Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich.? I did enjoy GB, but ICS is more advanced, alot more overall performance and options..And especially with the "promised" Jelly Bean upgrade..WooHoo..this tablet will be even more capable and useful..

With ICS and the right Apps. These XYB's will surprise you..Since my last post here..I have purchased a couple junked XYBoards "buy as is" from Ebay..took the two and made ONE that function flawlessly..one had a bad motherboard, the other a bad battery and charge port..

And this is the one I'm using now..SO..I own one of each MZ617 models..a 16, 32 and 64 GB..I love to tinker with these things..THANKS to Root capabilities, SafeStrap and a few more Mods..anyway.

With the correct Apps..these XYB's are a very helpful tool..I will mention only a few functions very useful..

Printing wirelessly world wide, file transfer via Bluetooth and more, office document creation, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint (namely a few)..Measuring distances (feet/inch/metric)..GPS travel ..Cook books, Free Hand note taking, high quality camera and video camera, MP3, MPG, Divix, AVI player, bar code scanner, auto VIN number scanner, auto diagnostic functions, voice recorder, Police, Fire scanner, Social networking, Live video chats with family and friends, Electronic book reader, Graphics editor, video rendering, cloud storage, USB compatible, buy_sale on EBay, Email, alarm clock, stop watch..the list is longer, but I will stop there..is there ANY laptop that can do all this without armfulls of attachments..I cannot imagine without a tablet..and all the above mentioned, a woman can hold in her hand.!!

OH..first and foremost..I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses..I study the Bible, have the monthly magazines such as the Watchtower and AWAKE!, and our weekly study material, Daily Text, and much more of JW's reading material..I have the complete Bible also in MP3 format, and much more on a single (one) 32 GB Motorola XYBoard 10.1 tablet..I use the tablet in the ministry, going door to door, during our two weekly meetings also..

Now my laptops set most of the time, they are jealous of my XYBoards..now they are only used to Root another XYB or to copy and store my many SafeStrap backups and other files..lol

I certainly hope all my babbling helps you to see, just how Awesome these XYB's really are..

I hope you will find comfort and usefulness with yours..take care..

I found one. It's for the xoom2 but the number on the board is the same 1016326001. Looks identical too. They had 10 in stock. If you wanna wait i'll let you know if it works, just ordered 1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-VERIZON...048?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e80ba8bf0

Auction says used but description says This is for the 10.1in Motorola Xoom 2 MZ617.

This is a new, unused part directly from the manufacturer.

With having 10 available i'd assume they are new. I sent him a message asking. regardless i ordered one.

Anyway..I hope the EBayer can get 100 more..I personally just purchased the new Droid Maxx last week, and plan to purchase another in a couple days..So my budget is stressed at the moment..if the EBayer doesn't sale out in a couple weeks, I hope to purchase at least two charge ports..They also have a motherboard for MZ617..I have a 16gb model with a bad MB setting here, I'd like to repair..

faulty charge port workaround & power button request

Yeah, I just bought one of these too although I had got around my faulty port by wiring straight into the battery.

It works really well - it even charges off my regular phone charger now. or the usb port on my PC.

The software doesn't recognise that it's charging but after about 4-5 hours it's fully charged again!

I just hacked off an old usb cable and wired a plug on the end to match the new one I connected to the battery.

I passed the lead out through the hole in the case for sd card/sim socket (mine doesn't have an sd card port)

Make sure you pass it through the hole in the case before you wire up to the battery otherwise the case won't snap together,

and don't try wiring the plug on after connecting it to the battery as you're likely to short the battery.

You have to join the data wires on the usb lead together and this signals to the computer to deliver full current to the port.

What I'm after now is a ribbon with the power/volume buttons on it as while I was doing the charge repair

my son got hold of it and picked off the naked button with his finger nail. (See pics below)

Does anyone have this spare part? It's for a xoom2 mz616 or 617 10" screen. Don't know if any other models will fit

but I can't turn it on now :(

Please help!

Yeah, I thought about soldering it - but have you seen how SMALL the parts are???

I even bought a new micro usb port for £2, but it's way too small.

There's no way I can solder parts that tiny.

I don't see what the bid deal is connecting the battery direct to the usb - as long as you don't leave it in too long?

it will level out at 5v and stop charging when it has equalised.

And I never left it in so long it got hot or anything - you have to monitor that.

You may be right, I don't know. I didn't try it long enough to test thoroughly as I got a new usb/charge port off ebay.

It wasn't $15 though - I paid $40 for a new one.

First, my phone is a GSM version running ICS 4.03 and I haven't done any modifications to it. Whenever I send an email with the default mail app it sends two emails to the recipient and its irritating having to explain to people why I sent them two emails of the second thing. Second problem is when im taking photos in low light the flash goes off quickly so that by the time the photo is taken it will be dim.

Interesting. I agree with you on most points. I'm a big Apple fan (and owned an iPad 2 for a few months) but I can recognize this Nexus 7 (which I own too) is a great device !

Was about to write a similar post. I had the iPhone 3gs and original iPad for a bit, but for the last 2 years have been strictly Android. For phones I've had HTC Evo, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note and Galaxy S3. For tablets I've had the Xoom, the original Galaxy Tab 7, the Galaxy 10, and now the Nexus.

Last week I had to buy an iPad 3 to demo my company's iPad app, and was planning on returning it after 30 days. I remembered thinking the Nexus 7 was so damn smooth, but after playing with the iPad it's definitely got some work to do. Also, I absolutely love the reddit app on iPad (AlienBlue).

That all being said, I still hate most of iOS's locked down features and how it's just a big iPhone, but I can't deny it's polish. So much so that I might be interested in a 7 inch version of iPad when it comes out.
