Options for fixing verizonized sprint touch pro

[kdj67f]

Well, the usb port stopped working, meaning it wont charge or sync now. It looks like that common problem kinda with the titan where the charger cable pushed the pins out the back of the connector. I spent an hour with a tiny pick and little tools trying to push the pins back, but it still does not charge. I think the fine copper wire broke inside somewhere.

I also took the device to several sprint stores and they would not help at all.

It is looking like my options are:

1. Get a spare battery and battery dock/charger (done)
2. find somebody willing to help with a sprint account to get it replaced for me
3. Send it somewhere to be fixed third hand

Now if anyone can suggest specific repair shops, other options or is willing to help out with the sprint account deal, feel free to let me know here.

My device still works, at least it does when it has a charged battery. Just waiting for those ebay batteries and chargers to show up now. Man, it is difficult to go back to the Titan after using the touch pro!

Thanks.
