Sorry about reopening this thread. I am in the same situation. Broken pins in the Dell streak 7 charger port and trying to put in a micro USB. May I ask where and what to look for while buying the micro USB charger port.

I used only the guts from back door panel. I will try and find the model I used. I then used part of the cover from the iphone charging system. It will make more sense once u see the photos. U will need the charging mat as well.

"hi im from Philippines.. and i have a problem with my dell streak 7. the charging port was broke where can i buy a replacement for it here in Phlippines... please help...

Dont bother...its too hard and expensive to replace the port with oem. Instead try one of the solutions posted here....good luck!

Thanks for all your help so far. I'm about to get out the soldering iron! One question: The standard for USB cables is the green wire = Data+ and the white wire = Data-. This is opposite of what you stated. Could you please review your repair and let me know which terminal on the board is Data+ and Data-? thanks!

I followed the ops directions using the photos and wad able to connect and communicate with a pc...

One question... Does the old charging port need to be removed? Or can I leave it there and go for soldering the new wires?

You can leave it there!

Thanks!
I made some progress. Was able to solder the wires to the points and fully charge the unit !
Then tried to put back the video and backlit cables on. The display flashed a white screen ?!

While trying to redo the cables for the above issue, broke the latch of the video cable and it does not stay in anymore. Struck at this stage. Any suggestions?

i need dell streak 7 charging jack solution:-X

 

[mehtab211252]

this is a charging solutione????????????

 

[James Weigel]

YES... both ways work fine. the induction solution allows you to leave your oem port. the other solution i had to remove the port and replace with a standard USB plug. I could not find room in the housing to put it else where

 

[James Weigel]

yikes! maybe a dab of hot glue?

Hi,

I have similar problem where I have few broken pin in charging socket in Dell Streak 5 mini mobile phone. Does the solution mentioned for Streak 7 to replace charging port with standard usb port will apply to my phone? I'll appreciate if you could share the procedure and photos of how to do it. I'm willing to replace the charging port with standard usb port since this is second time my charging port pins are broken and I'm unable to charge using dell charger until I have to remove the battery and charging it separately.

Thanks in advance!

This Mommy has exhausted all ideas, I have a Streak 7 that has the same prob. I guess you all call it 30 pin charging port. I have no skills or knowledge on how to even fix it. I don't own a soldering gun iron, oh what ever. lol. I really want to get it to work. I guess the kids tried to force the charger into the port and broke the pins so now for about a year its just been sitting around not charged. Can anyone help me out? Or where who can fix it.

I just found out that a USB charging port slot is selling for $199 on Ebay. HOLY MOLEY, ok mamma needs to learn how to do this jerry rigging. Need help. Thanks Everyone.
