My photon comes contact with some water which insert into the micro usb and micro hdmi ports.
Now both of them with corrosion.
The first thing I've made is to turn it off, pull off battery and sim card, dry it and put it into a rice box.
The device has seems works fine before I've turn it off, maybe only these usb and hdmi ports has screwed up.
I found a cheap usb port for it but didnt find any hdmi port....
There is any guide or something how to replace the usb port?
is it hard to do it/needs soldering or something?
Any other tips before I turn the device on? (How many hours/days it should be closed in the rice box?)
Thanks.

Hello,
I work in IT, and have been given two of these phones that both have their own problems. I finally found a disassembly guide at http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_star_trek/
The one phone has no charging port at all. The other phone has a broken external LCD screen. So I want to move the working external LCD from the phone with the broken proprietary usb port to the phone with the broken screen. In theory I should have a working phone.
Now I don't have any wall charger for this phone (blasted proprietary port!) But I have the usb sync cable that fits the phone. I tried plugging this into 4 different USB ports and none of them will charge the dang thing. I guess my question is, does the USB sync cable charge the STAR100? I have two batteries here that are dead (they sat around for months). I know my Cingular 8525 Hermes charges via the USB port (although that port is very flaky, I use a desktop charger).
So am I out of luck, or do I need to get a wall charger? I could find one at work to test tomorrow, but I would of liked to test it now.
move
instead of doing that, move the working control board from the one with the good charging port to the other one, it will be much easier and yes you can use the usb to charge.
Thanks I got it to work.
Today at work I sourced a wall charger. That made the LED light red on the phone, after awhile it turned orange, then green (after about 4+ hours). Now it appears to charge off the USB cable at home.
Now if I can only figure out how to get a T-Mobile sim to work in it, without paying an unlocking service (I have enough bills to pay with a wedding coming up this October).
Trying to find out if there is such a thing as going from extmicro usb that the evo and flyer have to a usb type A (or any other normal usb).
Need a right angle to plug into tablet for car install and found that I can fit a microb angled cable into the tablet, but now need to take the car charges extusb and get an adapter to hook it all together.
You can just buy a regular micro USB extended cable. It fits in the flyer/view charge port.
Proprietary cable is the one on the right. Regular micro USB on left.
I am installing the tablet in dash of a car.
I have the oem car charger because its only one with right voltage. But I need a angled usb for clearance issues. So im trying to figure a way to go from the charger EXTMICRO usb to the angled usb.
Searched around and have come up completely empty.
I'm working on the same project and found this thread searching (again) for more info on extusb. The solution I came up with for getting enough clearance to use the port requires disassembly and if you plan on keeping the warranty, it's probably not a good option for you.
Anyway, my solution was to make some small right-angle brackets for the pcb that contains the extusb port. It requires material for the angle brackets and two small screws with nuts. See attached for a better idea.
I actually got the tablet installed and fairly well, but have since removed it to come up with better designs for charging, access to the power button (and possibly volume buttons) for recovery actions, turning the screen on/off with ignition, and potentially microphone relocation.
You may want to check out http://www.dealextreme.com/ for right-angle and other adapters if you don't want to open up the tablet.
PS: Protect that screen. The plastic is very soft and will easily scratch.
I don't follow.
I thought the HTC car charger was a plug with a USB port in it just like all the others. I thought this might help, but I probably have no idea what you're really looking for

If you *need* to use the 12pin micro usb that the view has (which from my understanding was only there for the docking station utility), then you might be out of luck unless you can build something yourself.
Im looking for a cable like you linked to, but then I need a way to connect the flyers car charger special usb tip into it. Only way I can think of is to carefully grind the corners so that it will fit into a micro B female connection.
But the chargers are not cheap and if I F*** it up Im out $30
On a kia soul forum where others are planning on doing the same install with the flyer, one guy has come accross a company that makes custom cables. He said that if We send the car charger to them they will replace the usb tip with a micro B 90 degree angle for $25.
So A person is sending the charger to them to have it done and is going to let us know how it comes out.
jacobbones, can you provide a link to the kia soul flyer thread?
Yes, here it is.

Talk about the custom job is near the end of the posts
opening up the car charger and replacing the cable is incredibly simple. I have done it so many times, I can probably do it blindfolded. I actually had to go and replace the OEM chargers cable with the USB cable that it came with because my damn dog chewed threw the charger cable. Didn't come back very pretty, but it works, that charger has got the be the best charger built I have ever seen, incredibly difficult to open, but I'm sure the car charger is a lot easier to open, you just need a soldering gun and it should be easy.

Right, got a bit of a funny one here;
My girlfriend has 'adopted' my Atrix now I've moved on to the One X, but recently it's developed a rather frustrating issue in that the USB port appears to be broken. For charging, and data, even in recovery. I took it to bits to make sure there wasn't anything shorting out or dry solder joints (not that you can actually tell with the way the Atrixs Micro-USB port is designed) and it seems fine - in fact, I checked for continuity from the end of a USB cable connected to it to the pins at the back of the connector (I could reach) and all seemed okay so it's not the actual pins in the port either.
The phone always powers on when off when a USB cable is connected, but I assumed it might still be able to do this so long as +5v and GND were still connected (but then it should charge even if data doesn't work)
I'd probably never have gone to the effort of taking it apart if I'd realised that if I dump it in RSD or Fastboot mode it shows up on the computer fine.
What could be causing this? It really doesn't make any sense at all to me.
Edit: And of course, it's now sat, charging without using an external battery charger fine for the first time in days. I can't get it to do it at all now. Damn thing!
I have this exact same problem, when turned off, my phone recognizes the usb cable and starts up like normal, but when on, if I want it to connect to an ac port or computer, I have to wiggle and shake the usb connection until it charges and it can take anywhere from 20 seconds to 20 minutes. I swear I was about to throw my phone at a wall
So I got a new Galaxy Note with a busted screen, and I combined the two (my no audio one) to make a working phone. Now the new Frankenstein phone has audio, the screen is perfect, and all is good. Except I can't connect it with USB to my computer. It charges over USB, but when I connect to my computer I get an error that the USB device has malfunctioned. I swapped the USB board with the spare I had, but it doesn't work still. I've tried a few different cables, different PC's, and enabled USB debugging, and it doesn't work in either download (odin mode) or regular mode.
Any ideas?
Maybe it's the USB cable.

I've tried a ton of different cables. No dice.

I'm gonna post here for later reference also.
Same exact issue.
Was your USB port confirmed working on your no sound device recently before the swap?
I bought a new replacement to swap in. I'll keep you updated if it works for me.
5 different cables, 4 different PC's. Only one authentic Samsung cable out of 5. Maybe that's my issue, but I dunno.
I bought this thing used. I just need rooooooot..... :crying:
So I fixed it. Turns out the connector on the motherboard that the USB daughter board ribbon cable connects to was dirty. I took some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and cleaned it off. Right after that it worked perfectly.

Replacing my micro usb port fixed my issue. The downside is... I broke my sound in the process.
I wish I could just leave well enough alone sometimes. At least I'm rooted on JB now. :cyclops:
EDIT: Apparently my phone only likes my old USB module and not the new one as far as sound is concerned. "yay"
Every time I need Odin, I have to swap usb also.
maybe this shud work for u , it worked for me

Hi, is there any way to diagnose and fix USB connector problem?
It stops recognizing external connected devises and when charging you need to find a certain position of the charging cable connector to start charging.
Not a cable or charger issue, also cleaned it up with air and using youtube recommendations for cleaning USB type C.
Sometimes the dust are gathering in the connector. The compressed air could be not enough. Try to use not iron needle if you see something inside.
