Hey, I have searched the forums and did not find a solution. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully installed a new usb jack on their curve. I'm thinking mine is broke or on its way out atleast. Now when I plug it in i have to wiggle it around to the right spot and all it will do is charge. Im looking at a jack from cnn.cn. Any advice people?

It is doubtful that you can repair or replace the jack yourself since it is a surface mount device. BlackBerry Repair Shop - A full line of RIM BlackBerry repair services and BlackBerry parts for all BlackBerry handheld devices will repair it for you in a 24 hour turn around.

Ouch! Thats alot more than what I wanna spend on it. Looks like im goin back to my trusty 8700....don't really like the curve enough to warrant 80 bucks on it. Thanks for the quick reply Pete.

No I dont have insurance. I acquired it used. Although it is less than a year old. I can upgrade to a new one for 100 bucks but I think I'll hold out for the Bold anyway since its bigger.

You know...after sizing this thing up a little bit I think I'm gonna do this myself. Soldering it one the board shouldn't be an issue since I've done PC boards before. And hey, if i screw it up....garbage can it...lol.

Lol...no problem. Worth a try, right?

Do you have your website up and running yet. I need to have my usb charger port replaced on my bb 8830 and I know the part is around $5, how much does it cost to replace it.

Thanks,

Tim

You might want to consider a charging pod. It saves wear and tear on the usb port.
