Dell Venue 7840 broken USB port: request repair suggestions - Dell Venue

I have a venue 8 7000 (venue 7840). Its usb port has broken mechanically. I want to get it repaired. It is out of warranty. Dell would charge $270.00 for the repair. A local shop will do it for $150.00. Both of these seem too high for the task to be performed. Do you know of a person or business that would repair it for a lower price? Thanks in advance!
PS I am in the USA

Same issue, but they wanted to charge me $299! I paid that for two tablets before...

Buy another tablet from eBay. I bought mine for $100. Dell sold them for $149 new before it was discountinued. So, there are plenty of them solve around that price on eBay.

Needed: T-Mobile PPC Phone Edition Motherboard

I've screwed up the multi-jacks on two separate motherboards now by using the HK sync cable from eBay. It just puts too much stress on the jack. Today I found a real sync cable at a flea market but I seem to have permanently fried the current motherboard because no matter how carefully I reattach it, I get a constant red light from the R/O/G led.
So I need a T-Mobile motherboard (or any motherboard that will work with a Cingular US connection, if there is one). Does anyone in the US have one to sell me? I have a spare battery/back cover component that should work fine or a Nokia NGage to trade or can pay cash.
Help me out here, don't know if I can wait for another broken screen unit to turn up on eBay at a reasonable price. Thanks!
Just post this.

If the Nokia NGage would work with T-Mobile and the teenage I know
wanted it then that could be a deal.

Viewsonic Repairs

Hi All,
G-table power jack broke and needed fixing. I call Viewsonic and explained the situation. The tech took my information and informed me that my unit was still under hardware warranty. I've have it since late Dec and modded it in Feb of 2010 with Vegan (currently Vegan Ginger 7.1).
Just wanted to share that Viewsonic does stand behind their hardware. Hope this helps others who may need the same service.
mine broke to...
thnx for this post, my tabs charging port is broken too.. i will give them a call soon. earlier i was thinking of getting the dock and using it for charge up ,, i forgot that i have warranty..lol.. thnx for reminder post... pls let us know about the updates of your repair
Same here. My kid dropped my GTab ands now the power port is jacked. I threw away the GTab box. Is there any way to get it warranted with out the original box? Or does anyone know where to get a dock for under $40? It's ridiculous how much they charge for those things!
Anyone have a clue how much Viewsonic charges to pix the power port? I bought mine off ebay so I'm not the original owner.
I also bought a port which worked for a few days. Now when I plug it into G-tablet the power light goes off on the port.
I have a different tablet (transformer) now, but every time I see the G-Tab, I wonder if I can revive it as a second machine.

Charger Port Replacement (Q)

My charging port is damaged and needs to be replaced. I really don't have the money to get a new phone so where can I get a new charging port board ? The job of replacing it doesn't seem to difficult. Does anyone know of the tools I'll need to replace the charging port ? Where can I get a charging port replacement part ?
One of the cellphone repair shops wants to charge me 80 bucks to repair it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The parts are all over eBay and Amazon for around $15.
Do a YouTube search for galaxy note screen replacement and you will see how to open the phone up. There might even be a usb one but I'm not sure. I recommend opening your phone up before ordering so you can check what rev level the port is, and order the right one.
There is actually a video on how to replace on YouTube....I did it in 5 mins when I had my note

Dell USB dongle to both charge and transfer data

This might be of interest to other Dell Venue 8 7840 owners/users.
Dell has a two port dongle that allows connection of both data transfer (e.g. flash stick with standard USB connector) and a charging cable (micro-USB) at the same time.
Dell product code is: 470-ABES.
The cost from a UK trade distributor was about £12, but by the time tax and shipping were added it was far cheaper, about £18, from flea-bay.
Just tested this with a 64-GB USB3 flash stick and worked perfectly.
The trade distributor lists it as being compatible with: Dell Venue 10 Pro (5050), 10 Pro (5055), 8, 8 7840, 8 Pro, 8 Pro (3845)
Just ordered mine. Took forever for me to find it (happened before I found your post). Thanks for posting g about it.
