Re: Mini USB Port Connecter Replacement

I found a couple of dealers, look at the price differences. Any help would be appreciated and I don't have the insurance and upgrade is not currently an option.

2. http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-8925-Tilt-ch...3286.m20.l1116

So, I dropped my htc mogul and it wont charge now...it looks like the mini usb port got damaged... I started looking around and basically found the same thing as above regarding the prices. A couple sites want over 35 dollars for this port, while ebay shows the part for around $6 dollars... although im not 100% sure that it's the right one. I went to a local repair shop and they wanted $75 to fix this, around 30 dollars just for the part, which I think is ridiculous.

Comparing whats on ebay and cellulardr it seems to me that the part is compatible with the mogul and I know this requires soldering... has anyone ever replaced this part or attempted to on their mogul?

Thanks
