Hi all,
First, I'm looking for some very good pictures from the multiport connector pins of this cable.
Second, does anybody tear down an XTS and take pictures or something like hardware modding on this device yet?
Thanks in advance for an answer

Uuuh that's bad, i hope you're able to repair the slot.
Anyway, the missing resistor is a zero ohm resistor, so could be replaced by a very thin wire.
This line represents the ID signal which identifies the type of cable connected to the port.
The other parts are components to protect the USB data lines and the ID signal against ESD (electrostatic discharge) pulses.
They look already damaged in your picture, so simply remove them. Not sure about the part type and manufacturer.
The USB port will definitely work without them, but might cause trouble and even destroy the internal logic in the case of ESD.
You may use any kind of USB ESD protection parts to replace these components.
Have a look in the schematics and BOM of Pandaboard this may help you to find a replacement...
Hope this helps!
Good luck,

Hi Mr. Scholbert
It`s me !
First of all, I do thank you for the guide you gave me before. However I must notify I haven’t been able to fix the problem after 5 months!!.
You know when I connect the tablet to my computer I get a “Malfunction” error. I even reformatted the device, and Android is missing.
I have two questions now:
1. Is there a way for me to transfer the firmware(archos_it4.aos) file to the memory?
2. Can you tell me about the path after USB socket to the main board? I mean to what the USB is connected.
I’m looking for your reply.
Thanks a lot
Guys, the microUSB port on my 101 G9 got broken by an accident.
Looks like It needs a resoldering (and due to double-sided main board it gonna cost some serious $). I removed the port entirely as I dont need PC connectivity.
Is it possible to solder a usb cable directly to BAT-/BAT+ points on the board? Or do I need to connect it to microUSB soldering points to work properly?
//sry for my bad english - I'm from Russia and got hella tired today(
Hi Devl547,
first: Your english is perfect, no need to worry.

Don't attach the USB cable to the battery points on the mainboard. This will damage your mainboard and battery on long term.
Please look at the area around the broken MicroUSB port and search for a green colored component.
This is the fuse for the 5V comming from the port. You might easily find a soldering point in this area as well.
You should use this as the connection to your cable, nothing else!
If you are unsure, i'll post a picture.
Best regards,
scholbert
Thanks. Actually, I have already soldered a usb cable to microusb soldering points ( nightmare difficulty :3 ).
Looks like it works perfectly, but I think I'd better buy a new Archos tablet next month and use my old one indoor as a internet/video terminal.
Hi. Can you please upload a Picture from the Solder Points how i must solder the 4 wires from a USB Cable? Thank you very much!

Hi scholbert!
If you still read this, I'd really appreciate that picture as my micro usb socket came loose and currently I can't charge my Archos G9 101 Turbo.
Thanks,

I'm still using my Archos tablets, but i'll need to find my disassembled one to make a better picture i guess
Maybe you're able to locate the camera clip on your mainboard and remove it.
It is located near the micro USB slot...
See this post i made long ago (most informations are valid for the G9 101 as well):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28542261&postcount=41
After you removed the clip you should be able identify the fuse as well.
It is a marked component with a "T" on top.
As told before this is the best place to solder some cable for external charger.

Hello if you have problem with connector you can use Jumper
Thank you.
I soldered a new cable directly to the GPS pad. Works.
