Hi from Australia.
One of the three battery connector fingers has broken off in my HD2, rendering it useless. Telstra, as per usual, refuses to do anything about it under warranty and wants just under $400 to fix it. So I have a number of questions.
1) This appears to be a design flaw. Has anyone else had this problem?
2) Is there documentation to show how to pull the phone apart?
3) Does anyone know if the pcb that the battery fingers are on is available anywhere, except from HTC?
4) Does anyone know of a company that might fix this problem without it costing as much as a new phone?
Thanks in advance.

A workaround for the time being would be to get an external battery charger, you get one built in to most cradles. You can pick them up for ~£10 on eBay and you can also pick up a spare battery for £5.
I know it's not an ideal solution but for ~£15 it may well see you though until you can get the problem sorted.
My atrix won't power on (dropped in water); I have had it in dried rice, placed in a zip bag, and sun dried....before all that I immediately removed the battery and shook out whatever water i could. I've waited a full day but still no luck; if I remove the battery and plug in to PC with battery removed I get green LED but other than that I get nothing (for example if I switch to wall charger immediately the LED goes out). If at worst case I need a replacement, how difficult would it be to have this done without the AT&T purchase receipt (I'm not an AT&T customer)? I purchased the item on eBay a little over a month ago. I've read in forums to unroot before attempting return but that's not gonna happen (lol). My girlfriend hates that I even got an atrix so she's kinda happy this happened...a little off topic here, but I really love my atrix so can someone please help me out?!

Well, no help cuz no solution is available. Your phone is screwed and if it fell into water, the water seals must be screwed up as well and guarantee is void.
Think about it
Well the green LED comes on when plugged into USB like I said...but other than that nothing...I can't find the OEM charger adapter of all the times to be lost. I guess since other threads were successful in revival I would have hoped I would get lucky. Thank you for your reply.
They will know it's been in water by the sensors. They will also know you didn't buy from them. Best bet is insurance if you have it, but I think you are out of luck.

i jumped in the river about 2 weeks ago and completely forgot i had my atrix in my pocket. i would say it was about a good 5 mins underwater. Water damage sign appeared on atrix as well as battery. (red dot). i did the rice thing too..but nothing. unless you're insured..which i was..theres nothing you can do. sorry for your loss.
Does anyone have a general idea of how much it would cost to have the board replaced then?

funny. i looked up the same info as you are. That link is what a friend of mine sent me. so im not to sure. maybe someone here with better knowledge can help you out.
Cheaper to buy a new phone!
You're guessing/assuming it is the board/just the board.

Actually I sat and thought about it and there's the fingerprint and camera to also take into consideration, as well has other functionalities just didn't post. I'm in between studying Windows Server 2008 , watching TV, and just randomly doing other things. Thanks to you all for your help though. I may just try to find an atrix with just a broken screen or just forget about it all together. I've only had the phone for 3 weeks but stuff happens, consider it $500 down the drain .
Disassemble it, take a look at it, remove the corrosion manually. Use a heatgun on the components, but dont overheat it. Afterwards put together and check if battery still has power with a multimeter. Reassemble and plug into wall charger. See what happens

I say this is your best bet. Try this, or get someone with some electronics knowledge to take a look.
It beats just tossing it.
Either that or put it up on ebay and try to recoup some money. someone with a broken screen, or camera might want to buy it for parts.
I checked out a few other threads, on a couple forums and dont think anyone has been stupid enough to do this so far...
about 4 months ago, I was lost and my phone was dead, having bodged a car charger together I plugged it in.
The phone turned on, booted up and I got the SatNav software running, but before I could drive off it started flashing.. screen, lights, like a tiny disco....
Then it smoked, quite a lot for a second or two, by this time I'd took battery out and dis-connected the charger but it was too late, the phone was dead.
I got home, put the battery in a desktop charger til it was full and the phone has remained at it's current condition since.
So; it won't turn on, vibrate or flash any lights. The ONLY thing it does, is power up the right hand side bottom white light between the home key and back button.
I've been Ebaying since the day I killed it for a spares one, tried buying a main board but no joy anywhere without paying over £70 (and that's for a complete but knackered handset).
My dad's good with phones, his mate better also both of which said i've burnt out some chips. Some do kinda, have small 'holes' in, and I wiped a 2GB card too, wont work in anything else.
Without spending silly amounts on a new phone can I not do anything with this? Apparently everything except the main board should work (screen, digitizer etc)..
Help anyone please? -ta.
I suggest that you contact your local support team because I think this is something that needs to be examined at a repair center.

I dropped my X10a, and cracked the screen/digitizer. Is it easier to replace the whole housing or just the digitizer? Any suggestions on which company supplies OEM parts at the best prices?

Snapped off one of the plastic tabs on my Gear S charging cradle. I'm always careful putting it on the watch. Now it won't stay on to charge. Going to try to get a new one tomorrow. Be careful!

Charging cradle - Gear S broken
I have the exact same problem. The clip on the charging cradle broke. I am also very careful with my devices and was unaware that it broke until it couldn't clip on one day.
Samsung will not honour warrantee on this because they say it is 'physical damage' . I am vehemently arguing that this did not break through any careless handling. The unit is very flimsy.
They MUST replace it. I am waiting a response from them.
I had the watch for barely a month now. How many of these crappy cradles will I have to go through???

This happened to a few people over at androidcentral.com as well. Same answer: Samsung won't honor the warranty, and they had to buy a new charger, which doesn't come cheap. I am super careful now, but feel it's only a matter of time until they all break
I also broke one of the clips on the charging cradle. I was not aware of any kind of warranty, but I have my own solution.
Basically, I attach the charging cradle to the Gear S and slide everything onto an empty vitamin bottle. This keeps the charging cradle attached and I have not had any problems so far. I will post a picture of this when I recharge my Gear S tonight.
Just happed to me...I use the gear s as a standalone device on t-mobile...called them and they are replacing the charger for free. I should e getti it Friday and will let you guys know. Btw Has anyone tried to glue the broken plastic part back on and reconnected it?

Make sure they send you the actual cradle. Others were told they'd get a replacement and were shipped the wall wart instead.

T-Mobile sent me a wall wart without the cradle. T-Mobile doesn't carry a replacement charger.
You may want to call and confirm before it arrives.

My cradle is still OK, but ever since I started hearing about this issue, I am dread having to charge my Gear S.
To all those that have broken their cradles. . . .
Just wondering what technique you use for attaching the watch to the cradle?
Do you centre it then press in the middle or do you locate one tab then press on the opposite tab?
I always use the, one tab then opposite, technique and it seems to work well with no issues so far.

Attach at the bottom then snap the top. Mine is broken. Pops off from the top. The top tab is cracked.
I am FURIOUS and will start making YouTube videos to call them out. Hopefully everyone else can take a few minutes to do the same. Faulty garbage.

I was just thinking that it would be helpful if all of you with broken cradles could post pictures. That's undisputable proof - and once online, it will never go away.
I am also just curious to see what they look like, as I have an idea of what is breaking off, but have never seen the defect myself (yet).

It's not even "broken off" the tab is just not working anymore.
It's going to happen to everyone's. It's obviously the way it is built. I'll have to do a video because you can't tell it's broken by just looking at it.

Yes, please. It would help identify if everyone is having the same issue, or if there are different weak spots.
Until now, I thought I needed to take special care not to break anything off - now I am even more nervous

Okay, I contacted Samsung Support USA on G+ and they are taking care of me.
I document things--I shared everything from photos of the problem to my purchase receipt (privately of course).
I think they are aware there is an issue.
I made a YouTube clip here http://youtu.be/_zq0e9U_mB4 and I'll attach some photos.

Hey guys, I have an LG G3 with a broken charging port (does not appear to accept a charge from the original cable).
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has been able to fix it?
I am capable of taking the phone apart and experimenting, however it seems as if the port itself is more difficult to access, even after disassembling the phone.
Let me know if you have any fixes I can try to attempt to get the phone to receive a charge once again, thanks!

Send it back to be fixed or replaced. Phone hasn't been released for a year yet, so its still under warranty.
Ahh thank you for the info. You see I actually have two of these now. Mine, which is in excellent condition, and a second one I received that has a cracked top glass screen and damaged rear cover.
Do you know if they will fix the USB for free if I replace the glass and back cover? I don't see why that would make a difference if I am not asking them to replace either of the obviously broken-by-use components.
I guess I will give them a call and find out for myself. I'll edit this post if I find out news, just for anyone else who may encounter something similar.
Thank you.
EDIT:
So I've decided not to send the phone back to be looked at. After examining the port, it is clearly broken, and while it still appears to allow the cord to plug-in, it is obviously broken. I've decided to just spend 18$ on Ebay for a new Backdoor with wireless charging compatibility and see how that works out.

i would defiantly repair the other items before sending it in. no reason to give them an excuse to not repair the port, if you are going to fix the other items anyways.
