Hello, everyone. I've got one of those widely-popular Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70F models that seem notorious for the mini-USB charging port acquiring broken solder connection(s) to the motherboard. Probably due to stressing/bumping the AC adapter plug while attached to the tablet. Yeah, surface mount is tricky, and finding an exact part to do a connector replace is trickier. First, check the warranty; if it's covered, you might lose data (backup or full cloud-service registration can make that less painful) but it gets a professional workover. Second, find out if the manufacturer's out-of-warranty service is reasonable. Usually, that'll be a flat-fee mailin, but sometimes the common problems get a free repair; you'll have to ask about that. Some breaks (rips in the copper traces) are almost impossible to repair, because the mechanical bond to the logic board is bad (a glob of adhesive MIGHT hold it...). I've been known to solder tinned steel wire for reattaching a loose connector... |
