DR1000s with broken USB port
Hi all,
I’ve found myself in a rather frustrating situation. My DR1000S works great in every way – except that the mini-usb port has broken off. Or, more precisely, it "fell in". Since this removes the only way to charge, the fact that I can still read and annotate while the battery drains is almost poignant. What should I do? Don’t think I dare opening up the reader myself. I've damaged the case enough when hopelessly trying to connect the cable to the reader. edit: Quote:
Other than that, I may have to sell the reader (for its screen and parts) to anyone interested. Last edited by dasoulseeker; 12-22-2010 at 05:19 PM. |

How much is this problem usual? Anybody knows? I've seen several cases of DR1000S users until now..

If I remember well there is also a thread somewhere that describes changing the usb connector, but I have not found it yet. Please let us know how(if) you solved this, to help other people that might get the same problem. Good luck. Marcel. |

The exact same thing has happened to my Kobo Arc, usb port fell inside. Been contacting Kobo, sent mulitple pictures, they've given me no answer...
My arc is only 6 months old... Apparently in delving into this problem, this is the biggest negative comment in regarding the Arc... I feel they owe me a new one...! |
