Broken charging port

I answered this earlier, but I don't see it.

It is supposed to be charged with a 110 volt AC adapter that charges at 5 volts DC. They are $12.99 on Amazon.

Board Edge USB Sockets can easily be replaced by an electronics repairer. There are USB A, B, and C in the link

Honestly, even if you could find the part (not likely - tablets are commodity items these days), you would need specialized tools to de-solder the remainder of the old port and solder the new port, and you would risk damaging other components because of the proximity of parts on these small circuit boards. If you want to take it on, research who actually builds the tablet and contact them about parts. A better option might be to find one with a broken screen or some such (check local 'for sale' sites) and try to swap only that part (if the charging port happens to be connected to a smaller 'side' board rather than the main board). Tough one. Good luck.

Most likely either the USB socket is defective internally, or it has broken off of the circuit board that it is soldered to internally. This usually happens from excessive use. The ports at the rear are plugged in typically once for a long period of time, but front ports get a lot of wear and tear. A repair or replacement is NOT recommended, unless you have experience working with/on electronic circuits.

A quick remedy would be to purchase a USB Extender cable. It has a Type A Male on one end and a Type A Female on the other end. The male would plug into a USB port on the rear of your computer and the female end would be available at the front. If it fails, just change out the extender. Or you could purchase a USB 4-port Expander hub and do the same thing.

Hope this helps.

This is common enough. The USB port has broken off the circuit board inside. With careful soldering it can be reattached

First Option:
mostly nokia chargers doesn't make problems...
just try the following..
connect ur mobile with a system (usb cable)...
found out whether it is charging or not...
if the same prblm appears then there is a prblm in ur cell phone or power jack(socket)...
if it charged with usb cable buy a new charger
Please change Phone Bettery and check the charging
IF Charging Problem not Solved So


Second Option:
Your Phone charging IC Fault So Please change charging IC
And charging Problem will Solved Quickly

Hi, you can buy new ones from here 2 pcs Replacement Micro USB Charging Port Connector for Vizio Tablet... and change it . take a look. enjoy

I had the same problem a few days ago (April 5 2009). The problem turned out to be a dodgy USB socket on the back of the Tape2PC. There was a bent & broken pin in the USB socket.

Perhaps you have a similar problem with the USB port - have a close look at it in good light.

I took the the cover off the tape2pc (6 screws), and then removed the small circuit board containing the USB socket (2 screws). The part number on this board is 0038-2410-0000. This small board is connected to the main circuit board on the base of the box by a short cable. You just unplug this cable from the USB port board, cut a cable tie, and replace the USB port board. It is a very simple and quick job - it took no more than 10 minutes and only requires a small Philipps head (+) screw driver.

I don't know where you live, but I phoned the UK distributor for Ion and received a replacement board within 2 days.

The PC now recognizes the tape2pc again but I can't get any volume when I try to record my cassettes. Any suggestions with this?

you need to replace tne charging port. it is a very fragile circuit. www.fixphonenow.com can repair for $65
