Yesterday when I tried to plug in my Streak to charge I noticed that the cable didn't seem to go in properly. After looking at the port it seems that a pin is bent.
Has anyone had any luck bending one back? Also, is there a schematic available that will tell me what pin does what?
Thanks.

Yeah, I did that bit. Thanks for being helpful.
Well, if you searched, you didn't search hard enough because this has been brought up before. However, it should be possible to bend the bent pin back into alignment with the rest of the pins. But you'll need a steady hand and a tool like a precision screwdriver to bend the pin with.
As for the schematic, I can't help you there.
Solution.
Hi,
Last year when my Streak's port broken I searched a lot about it. I remember was find a schematic but can't find it no again.
But there is good news for you and everyone who has the same problem.
You can buy a replacement Charging Port from ebay. It's been 1 year from my Streak's charging port broken. It was so expensive. But now, you can find about USD 3-5 from ebay.
Here is an search link from ebay about it.
I hoppe it's helpfull.
Oh.. Because of I've never send a post before I can't able to send link within the post. You can search on ebay as "streak charging connector"

And now you see why I posted.
Yet your main issue is a bent pin, not the pinout. Bent pins have been brought up on the forum before, thus you didn't search too hard. As for the pinout, no one has posted one, however posting one isn't necessary since the port is supposedly a standard interface (mini PDMI?). Something that you would have found had you searched harder, because it was discussed.
Attitudes like this are the reason why people see this community as a cesspool of elitist snobs. The only post that wasn't rude and condescending came from someone who hadn't posted before.
Yes, I searched. No I didn't see anything. So I posted. Get over it.
Anyway: I'm done with this thread. Later.

Well you may have searched but it wasn't here because as Stephen said its been tossed over several times. And I love the fact its seen that way. Hopefully it will keep out folks like you that only want to be spoon fed because you couldn't find your answers immediately because the forum is clogged with posts and threads by noobs just like you that are lazy

I am wondering if the charging port on the dell streak 5 is compatible with the dell streak 7, I looked up the specs....all I could find is that both the 5 and the 7 use proprietary 30-pin interface/charging ports, and that the charging cable for the 2 units are the same, but I am somehow sure that there must be a reason ebay doesn't list the oem replacement part for both the 5 and the 7, but is it something that can be worked around? If this has already been addressed please forgive me....I've gone buggy trying to find the answer!!

For some reason my 1st post didn't take!
Try the AT&T store. A colleague of mine dropped his new iPhone 4 last week smashing the camera lens. On the off chance he went to the AT&T store, and although the part was not there in the store, they have ordered it for him free/gratis. Never hurts to ask! I was dumbfounded when he told me this, but it happened nevertheless.
Guess my 1st post did take cos' I see you posted the same question in both General and Q&A, and I apparently responded to both.
Please don't do this again!

1-Atrix 4G General

This is a question!
3-Atrix 4G Accessories
Accessories for the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (cases, screen protectors, batteries, etc)
not an accesorie but about spare part, so it is related.
I just wanted to maximize the chance to get an answer by posting in these forums.
Before posting, i've checked that in any of them there was a thread about replacement part for power button/fingerprint reader replacement part.
So please calm down, there is no need to ask for ignore/ban me. As all of you (i hope!) i'm human and we can do mistake and learn from. I did one and i won't do it again.
Back to the original topic
Thank you CaelanT for your answer but i'm in europe, so reaching a AT&T store will be difficult/very expensive for me...
(yes, i've posted in ATRIX 4 AT&T forum, but for this replacement part it doesn't matter, and this phone is not only sold in US: canada, belgium, UK, fance... and this is the only one forum about Motorola Atrix in this website),
It is easy to find replacement part for screen or other part on the net, but i've spent one full day looking for fingerprint reader and found..... nothing!
Moreover it is a pity for a phone which is so easy to open and replace/repair itself (tutorial available on ifixit)
Anyone else has any idea/suggestions/websites for replacement parts?
You posted a question............so I am guessing Q&A not every forum!
This is all I could find in a quick search for parts:

I am having the very same issue and none of the replies here are helping. All I am seeing is persons complaining and sending people all over the place to other post which dont have the answer. I have been searching online for a solution and I am not seeing anything other than take it back to at&t which is not possible because at&t is in America.
Anyways If there is someone kind enough to (1) explain where is the actual power button located (in the finger print scanner or under the scanner) and (2) what to change to get this fix( eg a ribbon, the finger print scanner or is there a button I should buy). I am not looking for a work around what I want to do is change what ever it is that I need to change to get fix.
Thing is, power burton is a soft button sitting below the fingerprint reader, it is completely independant. Thing is, i dont remeber if it is soldered to the motherboard or is apart. Either way, i think tou need to get it from another atrix.
Here at the forum a user posted a site that sells spare parts at low prices, perhaos they have what you need!

It's part of one of the flex cables.
There is a picture of it here at the iFixit teardown:

and one with the tape removed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379939
Have you tried ebay? There spares all over the place and if you don't find the flex itself you may as well buy an Atrix with a broken LCD and use it for parts.

Two ebay sellers told me that the flex cable dont come with the power button so I took your advise and bought one that is damage, lcd and digitizer. This will in fact work out better for me being that my digitizer is bad ( already had order one which is on its way) I broke off the wifi button on the board and not the power button got damage.
So for all the people out ther asking about the power BUTTON ITS RIGHT UNDER THE FINGERPRINT SCANNER AND IS NOT SOLD ON THE FLEX CABLE YOU HAVE TO GET IT FROM AN OLD ATRIX SAME FROM THE WIFI EITHER GET IT FROM ANOTHER ATRIX OR BUY A MOTHERBOARD .. I have no idea where to get a board from.
Here's what I did today: I clicked on the "Escalation Mail Box" Contact link on the Asus support website (http://vip.asus.com/eservice/cus_suggest.aspx) and I asked them to release Transformer USB/Charger cables to the US Market. I explained how much I liked their devices; that I own both the TF and the docking station and how worried I am to only have one cable that could get lost.
Here is the reply email I received:
Dear Valued Customer:
Thank you for supporting and using ASUS products!
Your comment has been received by us and is currently in process. We will improve and as a treatment, you can reply through the link to check the situation. Thank You! [link to open ticket]
If everyone writes in, maybe we can demonstrate a strong enough user demand to get the most essential accessories out on the market.

Just did the same. One cable with no spare is not cool...
The guy who sells the FolioGuard stuff, xjarl I think, mentioned he got his hands on the 40pin connector and asked in the general thread what he should "do" with them...but the thread got buried super quick.
I thought a million people would ask him to make power cables but...

If anyone can hack together a substitute cable it would be him. So, if there's a guy somewhere who can get the connectors and there's a guy here who can determine which pins we need to wire to a standard USB cable (or charger or whatever we need), then we should put those two together.

Just sent my request as well. I have the Radio Shack charger wall wart w/adapter but I'm very nervous about not having a dongle that fits the TF's port.
Guess I'm spoiled - a week after launch there were adapter galore for the Galaxy Tab on ebay.
I'm hoping the free market will save the day soon here...yikes!

This situation is really irking me. I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have gotten a different tab is only to rectify the accessory situation. These adapters should only be costing like 5 cents to make. I don't understand what is going on here.

Oh I'm specifically just thinking about their charger cables. I *hate hate hate* that I only have one. As far as I can tell the only places you can buy them they are like $40. Ridiculous IMO b/c that sort of thing should be pretty cheap. That is a pure profit item, if it were even in stock in the first place.

so i'm almost embarrassed to ask this, but I've been all over the asus vip site and i can't really figure out how to apply for a warrenty fix. I bought the dock about two months ago, and now the track pad doesn't work and it's kind of coming apart at the top. I contacted them via email but never got a response. this was about two weeks ago. anyone know how to do this?
Sign up at Asus.com and register your prime. Then on the left of the screen will be a list of options and links... among them about 2/3 the way down you should see "application for GPS extension kit" or something very similar.

True! I have asked a question about ten times on the same subject but never got my answer. My question was for developers about adding Onskreen Cornerstone but never got one response. I also had a question the other day about adding support for an app called 2nd core to the Gingerbread kernel but never got a response. I see a lot of "Know It Alls" in our forums for the Note. Everyone starts complaining when people ask questions instead of answering. The worst is when people keep tellin others they are asking questions in the wrong place but still offer no help to people. Trust me there are lots of smartasses over here that know nothing at all but think they know everything, it cracks me up. The crazy part is they make threads about showing screenshots of your homescreen lol and quadrant scores lollol and get a lot of post about this meaningless **** but can't or won't answer a question. I could car less how peoples phone looks and I hope they realize how corny they are for wanting everyone to see their homescreen LOLOLOLOL. One day I made a post about a Note clone and because I told people to google "Note clone" they got mad as hell. Like its hard to search. They were mad that I didn't post links to pics and videos. It turns people off from contributing when people are dicks. One monkey ruines the show for everyone. I have also seen threads where people would respond to a question but the only thing they would talk about was the typo the OP made like they don't ****up too. IDIOTS! By the way I don't have mhl but maybe you could ask a friend that has a known working HDMI cable to let you barrow it and try it for an hour and if it messes ip then its probably the MHL adapter.
what rom are you running? I used my adapter that came with my infuse when i first got my note and was still running stock with no issues at all. Video was perfect and sound as well. This was running on a 56in hdtv.
i have not tested the adapter with any other roms that i can remember, it has been a while since i have needed it. Try a different hdmi cable as you said it may be your problem.

I am trying the same... It seems as if the LCD is glued to the Glass + Digitizer that you have bought.
The only way to seperate is to use suction cups to pull them apart after heating with a hair dryer/heat gun.
Couple of issues with this approach
- Heating reduces the life of LCD
- With a broken glass it's impossible to use a suction cup and pull both things apart. You may damage LCD screen...
I also had opened a DIY thread to repair prime, but received no inputs so far from others. hence I am assuming it's very tricky.
I am hedging bet on buying a second hand prime (ideally broken charger, broken hdmi, broken motherboard etc...).. and then taking off the entire IPS panel from it to replace on my tablet.
Whatever you do, do let me know how it goes as I am in the same boat.
It is not glued. There is some tape but no heat is needed. There are a couple of articles and videos online if you Google it. Its not hard at all.

There is a movie on youtube for the original Transformer TF101.The process should be almost the same for the TF201.
Use an exacto knife inserted between the two layers and work your way around the entire perimeter of the screen (a heated exacto would probably work best, but a regular would work too. The heated one just slides through the tape better).
Make a mark on the blade of the knife to avoid inserting it too far to risk damaging the ribbon cable (though your new screen should have the cables on them, so probably doesn't matter if you damage the old ones). Using the new replacement screen as a template, you should be able to mark your blade to get deep enough without getting too deep to risk damaging any components.
After running the blade between the glass & lcd around the entire perimeter the 2 should come apart. Scrape off the old tape, and use new foam 2-sided tape (2-3 mil thickness) to adhere the lcd to the new glass. Then you should be able to just reassemble.
Here is a link to the video. It's not great quality (as you will see) but gets the idea across. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brcZLrocBio

There is no need to be abusive, Sir.
I have googled for more than a week now.. and I could not find a single hit on how to replace screen for TF201.
I have seen many hits for TF101 and other tablets... but none for TF201.
Don't believe me... try your google skills?

Not being abusive just stating fact. more and more people on xda expect other people to do the leg work for them and spoon feed them..
I was able to pull up a lot of information on replacing the screen dont believe me? http://bit.ly/R9k9Rs
My point is you could have done the same thing instead of asking someone else to do it, post links and spoon feed you the information. If I said I came across links to something I might not have them handy, just remember coming across them so in essence I would have to search FOR YOU and go out of my way to look for something you could look for yourself. XDA is not a personal tech support service..

Not sure what the heck is your problem.
I have done googling for 1 week now (spending over 2hrs every day).. I have gone through all ebay listings to check for video/instructions to replace TF201 LCD screen, I have gone through 7-10 pages of google results as well...
I have opened my prime atleast 3 times in an attempt to seperate glass from IPS panel...
Ppl have opened prime.. to fix gps. not to replace LCD yet.
There is no video/instruction out there in internet that expains how to seperate screen + digitizer from IPS panel for TF201.
As an end-user I wanted to see some real instructions/video of TF201 before i try it myself... just to ensure I don't screw up my device.
It been frustrating to go through every link on google searches and realize that this hit is for TF101, ipad, iphone screen replacement and not for TF201.
You look to be a smart person, so if you do find anything helpful on internet that is applicable for tf201 screen seperation, please share and help us with. I am checking everyday too...
Hmm - when searching on Google I found a nice link about 3/4 of the way down on the first page which is a video of the Prime disassembly. Pretty useful. Not sure why it's taken you 1 week+ without finding any information when two people in this thread (myself and graffixnyc) in 15secs find links to help you.

You must have found disassembly video. I have seen it too before...
Watch through it... it does not show how to separate digitizer from ips panel.
Folks no offence... but if u really find a useful video that shows how to separate digitizer from ips panel for tf201, please link it and become a hero!
You all are too smart to keep playing 'you can find it there' game...

And you alluded to the fact that you aren't. Don't ask people to do your job. Period. It is not anyone else's job here, or anywhere unless you're paying them for the service, to find things for you. End of discussion.
Just looked into this for entertainment sake, and while there are several videos and howtos about disassembling the prime, I can find no video or tutorial where they separate the LCD from the Digitizer. There are several posts saying that it should be possible, but I can't find someone who did.
Of course, I only looked for a few minutes. Your mileage may vary.

and I thought xda was a place where members helped each other, rather than get nasty and ask for money when someone asked for help....
pls dont be hostile. If u cant help, move on.
If u just tried to open a few google results, u will learn that they are really not about replacing prime screens...
my issue is not googling... but that after several days of googling, that I have still not found anything relevant.
like the OP, some of us have broken screens on our prime and are looking for a way to replace it without expensive RMA. we are seeking help & guidance because there seems to be no instruction on internet on exact steps for prime.
no more arguing from me on this... its not helping me solve the issue either.

Anybody had any luck repairing broken glass on prime? I got new glass on ebay, but it looks like it needs to be glued to a plastic bezel, and not sure how to remove old one, and what to use to glue the new one on.

You are severely mistaken. XDA is not about people doing your job for you. Do not ask others to do your job and then report back. Asking if others have been able to do it is one thing, but to ask others to search and then find and then post back here is not right.
Another thing... do not sit here and tell a senior moderator to move on. It is you who is at fault here in your methodology.

I really tried to find something on how to replace prime screen. could not find it.
I did my job. I have a thread to prove it where I am trying to help xda community with documenting stepsto replace prime screen as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798845
I got stuck at a step, hence I asked for help with someone else on xda who may have replaced screen or finds a resource that i may have missed finding. I am happy to document steps for others benefit.
What's wrong with this?
Finding reproducible steps to replace a prime screen with no damage would be very useful for every one. So many folks have broken screens.
With due respect, being a senior moderator does not make you right all the time.
