Title: Hardware Mod - Mini USB port for E398? Post by: ranggie4 on February 17, 2008, 01:52:57 pm Hey guys I recently got hold of circuit diagrams and instruction manual for E398 (http://ranggie4.googlepages.com/e398_level_1_2_3_manuals.7z) and I'm wondering if anyone here can use that to modify the charging/data port to a mini-USB type. I also have the diagram for V3x (http://ranggie4.googlepages.com/motoV3S_M.7z) which of course has the mini-USB port. Anyone care to have a look and feedback if this is workable?

But I dont want to take the risk. The soldering point is too small for me... :( Title: Re: Hardware Mod - Mini USB port for E398? Post by: ranggie4 on February 18, 2008, 07:59:28 am I've got contacts with a fabrication company and they make motherboards on a contract basis. I should be able to find someone there to help. Would you guys be able to provide some pictures at least. It'll be really helpful.

@raggie4 Its a difficult work.do it carefully.From the picture,i think the result is same with original e398port,coz it connect the same way with ori e398 USB.why U need 2 change it?

@Argetlam I'm not sure if you guys face it but I'm living in a tropical climate and the connector becomes oxidised very fast. I have to clean it once a week now to get the charger working without a problem. The other thing which i'm interested in is to use the USB as the data cable as well. Title: Re: Hardware Mod - Mini USB port for E398? Post by: argetlam on February 20, 2008, 10:02:54 am I think its easier to make a port cover than to change it :).
Title: Re: Hardware Mod - Mini USB port for E398? Post by: P_41_JO on February 20, 2008, 10:16:20 am i prefer to modify the P2K data cable, so i can use it as a charger and data cable, so i can flash/use it as modem, without have to worry my battery condition, weather full or not. cause for me, modifying p2k as mini usb, for me it's too risky and lil bit messy.
but it's just personal considerations, it's all up to you. |
