Does anyone have a site to buy replacement lapdock parts?
I need to grab a connector from the dock to the logic board - a couple hdmi pins are noticeably smashed in. Source of the "No input source: HDMI" error for me.
If none exist, do the multimedia or standard dock share the same connector?
I couldn't find any other dock dis-assembly's to compare internals.
sticker on the connector says:
"PAD00
DC30100E100REV:1.0
HONG-LIN 11/01/05"
I am currently unaware of any, I would try "googling" for some.
yea, I tried searching before I posted on the forum, but came up with nothing. Oh well, it was worth a shot - thanks anyways. I just ordered another micro hdmi cable to solder in my own replacement, 19 tiny pins isn't going to be fun though.
good luck with that. just wanted to add that you can buy a refurb from AT&t wireless for 75bucks. That's a whole dock worth of replacements parts.
not a bad deal, think I might jump on that and throw this up for parts then.
Thanks for the info.
need a same part
Well if someone somewhere finds this part please don't hesitate to post where did you get one. I will loose my mind trying solder cable directly to board or something similar...

Just wanted to let everyone know I just received the ASUS USB adapter from a company I found on eBay (you can also buy directly from their web site). They currently still have them in stock. The cost is $24.99 w/free shipping. The price is a little more than some other companies list, but at least this company have them in stock.
Since I can't post links yet, go to the web site mentioned in the thread title and search for 668834.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Does it feel like a good connection or is it a poor fit as others have noted?
The connection seems to be good, however I know what people are talking about. Because the back of the Prime is curved, there is no bottom surface to contact the adapter. This allows the adapter to be deflected if you push on it, however it isn't going to fall out as there is too much friction/tension once the connector is pushed on. I actively pushed on the adapter from front to back and back to front and there was no loss of electrical connectivity (I was actively using an XBox 360 gamepad to scroll from icon to icon).
I do agree with others that say they wish ASUS would have redesigned the adapter for the Prime, but it does work and that is what I needed.
Just fyi, I have ordered two different USB female/female adapters to finally put to bed whether these types of adapters will allow different USB devices to work with the stock cable. They didn't cost much, so I was glad to order them just so I could see for myself.
These two adapters should arrive first of next week and I will update or create another thread with my findings.
If you have any specific tests related to the connection you would like me to perform, please let me know.
Thanks for the response. I'm wondering if the little plastic cover that ships with the Prime to protect the power port can be modified (with dremel) to act as a holder for the USB connector. Somehow attach it to the connector to give it a more secure fit?
Thanks I needed one of these really bad

I have wondered the same thing. I plan to try out a few different mods I have in mind to see if I can come up with a simple design to firm up the seating of the adapter. If I am successful, I'll post some pics and set of steps.
If only it wasn't as long, maybe wider instead, and had the USB plug into the side instead of the bottom it would be usable.

Buy the time I am done with everything I purchased, I WILL have something usable.
Hi All,
A while back my gtab suffered damage at the hands (paws) of my dog. The Power input cannot be used to charge it now. I have looked through the forums and found that the Malata ZPAD Dock for gTablet would solve my problem. Unfortunately it seems that this item is ONLY available from Vendors in China.
I would like to know from those who have this docking station:
Does anyone here have a Malata Docking Station for Sale?
Has anyone found a US or European Vendor?
If not what the best Chinese Vendor?
I would like to know from those who have purchased DC power jack:
I found a replacement DC Power Jack online.
How hard is it to replace the DC Power Jack on the board for someone with no experience with Soldering?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
dock
I bought my dock from www.ankaka.com and it was with shipping 46$ bucks... The dock works wonderfully!! Great picture and screen resolution, market, netflix, flash playback on Opera, 1080p videos. Now connect this to a game controller and you're golden..Great investment over the LINK IT cable.
hope this helps
I got mine from Steve at electronic crap .com. Super fast delivery. Pricey, but the customer service is there if you need it.
As far as soldering, it doesn't take much. Mine took a tumble off the table while plugged in, and landed square on the charger. The jack is surface mounted, so the only thing holding it is the solder itself.
Find directions on dismantling the gtab, then put the jack back on the pads and heat until melted. I think there are five pads to solder.

I know you can get one from US Merchants but I don't know the cost. The number for them is 310-228-4000

Was kind of looking not to spend more money on it. As I am planning on selling it. Hmmm. I guess if I go that route then I might as well keep it for the wife or the kids.

No problems, pretty crisp screen, smooth playback through everything. Love my dock, it serves as a entertainment backup center for my game room. HDMI and audio also works just as well. Just wanted to give my two cents.
I know this is a double post am not sure which is the right section to post.
I don't know if am posting in the right section but I lost the charger pin that connects to the adapter. Is there a place I can buy just the pin-out for the USA wall connector? The tablet is pretty much useless cause I can't charge it with the other 5 volt USB connectors I have.
Hi,
I live in the UK, and use the non branded charger which is cheap, and definitely more solid and reliable than the official one.
I just had a quick look on EBay, and there's lots of choice:
http://shop.mobileweb.ebay.com/sear...2?kw=asus+transformer+charger&x=0&y=0&cmd=SKW
(Of course its still worth checking the buyers reviews first.)
I've had it for six months.
Compared to 4x Asus original replacements.
Cheers.
I also got an extra charger, I think off ebay. You can get one with a longer cable so you don't have to sit on the floor next to the outlet
I have the same issue as OP; one of the pins got stuck and broke off of the US charger adapter. I've asked ASUS eStore if they would sell me just that replacement part. I'll post here if I get a positive response.
EDIT: Asus eStore said that they will not sell that part individually, but will gladly sell me the whole charger but they are out of stock.
I got a multitude of pins for the charger, with my Spanish Transformer. I just use the round one (Spanish/European standard). I was keeping the others just in case I traveled somewhere I needed them, but I could be convinced to part with the US one (that is, if it comes with a US one!). The bad thing, I have no idea on which one it is! Mind you, postage will be expensive...
I say that anyone who wants it, send me a PM, and make me an offer (trades are perfectly fine, in fact, better than simply paying cash, and on a trade, you'll pay the postage to me, and I'll pay the postage to you. Also, I don't know the exact rules for trades on this board, should I I post this somewhere else?)
I need to buy a replacement Flex Cable Ribbon with Charger Port and Mic. I've only found two sites that have the correct one for the Verizon GS4.
gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=9624
etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-s4-sch-i545-charging-port-flex-cable-ribbon.html
Has anyone bought from these sites before or could recommend a better one?
I bought stuff from etradesupply. Only complaint is they charge $15 for shipping. So get all you need in one order.
I have used etradesupply and have seen various companies vouch for them. Shipping a little pricey, so I ordered anything I thought I could need in one order to save in the long run. But the parts I got were quality. Only thing I didn't like is they stamped all the parts with their logo, a little blue circle with the letters ETS inside. Nothing a little alcohol and cotton swab couldn't easily remove though.
Thanks for the advice you two. I'm going to go ahead and order extra parts like you said just in case.
I see a lot of the cases ending up on ebay with smashed glass on the front for cheap. I was wondering if any devs out their would be able to point me in the right direction to attempt to use this case on a razpie or a PC. I assumed it was just display port over type C but I put my adapter to change it from M to F and plug it into the case and no joy. I also attempted to use a thunberbolt 4 cable to plug into the internal type c port and plug it into the phone this way. And still it wont turn the screen on. I have no idea what kind of magic they did and why (maybe a non standard port) But I can't get this thing to talk unless directly attached to the phone.
Thanks in advance. Just seems a massive shame for them to end up as E-waste. They are a great looking display.
Maybe some controler chip inside the phone not in the 2nd screen.
Let try to connect to other phone (the unit you know it can share display via typec port) for more information.
Btw i want to buy 1 like that, but ebay do not ship to my country.
Alright its worth a try. My neighbor has an S22. I just think it is strange because even when I used a thunderbolt 4 cable to connect from my phone to the case it still did not work. Only when plugged straight into the case.
Attached is the cables and adapter I used
EDIT: also aliexpress has the cases as well.
EDIT:2 Now I am wondering if the case uses MHL as MHL would also provide power and signal.
Its said that the usb c connector only carries power and that the display is wireless. I dont have any direct information as to the truth of that however.
I wonder

I wonder if that's true. Also the phone must have some kind of magnetic read switch. because I can turn it on away from the case if I put a magnet on the back of it. I sacrificed my beloved case for the cause T_T.
I also discovered if I use a typc c to type a cable usb2, the PC will say the device is a lv600 or whatever the sku for the phone itself is.
So I think without some kind of drivers this wont work. I think I will purchase a driverboard from ali and see if it won't work. So I will have to bypass the CB behind the display and hook it up to the oled directly because this thing has much more then just a screen inside of it it also has the buttons and secondary display. I was hoping windows would ignore all of that and just use display port alt mode over USB.

Has anyone actually gotten one from AliExpress? $30 for a working case with the magnetic adapter included seems to good to be true. AliExpress has good buyer protection, so I was tempted to try it anyway, but I didn't want to wait a month for it to ship just to find out it's a scam.

- Many times bought at Ali. I need to pay instally and waiting they shipping (a month or longer, very long shipping while i live near by China). Some shop is clone, they never send the good. But i can cancel it before shop send the good to transpoter. Can not return if something wrong.
- Bonus: i bought cracked front glass V60 dual case on Ebay from USA Shop for $39. I recieved it after 2 week (through the middle man) really fast. The Shop on Ebay sent me dual screen case with only 2 little crack (still good condition).
- My experience: On Ali only buy from shop is appreciate, don't buy working device, only buy parts as you know China is good place to find parts for repair device.
