Solution for worn mini-USB port? (charging connection unreliable)

I thought my battery was going bad, but just realized that my mini-USB port is apprently worn. When I plug in either my automobile cigarette lighter charger, or my regular plug-in charger, the charging connection is not reliable. Unless I position everything just right, the charging connection isn't made.
Has anyone else experienced this issue -- and hopefully found a solution for it (short of replacing the whole BlackBerry)?
TIA
Tom

My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad

My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad. My monitor uses a HDMI cable when the mac mini is off it says no input received which it does not say so it is receiving some signal from the mac mini. I have tried a different cable and a different monitor/ hdmi cable. The fan isnt running there is no start up noise but the little light on the front blinks every 4-5 seconds. Im booked in to see a GENIUS on sunday but I was wondering if there is anything I can do in the mean time. The mac mini is only 8 months old if that. Any ideas people? Oh the mac is also running mountain lion and has been since the day of release i've never had a problem up until this.

The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:
Tone(s)          Description
1 tone, a 5-second pause, repeat          No RAM installed
3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones          RAM does not pass data integrity check
1 long tone when holding down the power button          Firmware upgrade in process. See About firmware updates for Intel-based Macs for more details.
3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones          Firmware restoration from CD in process. See About the Firmware Restoration CD (Intel-based Macs) for more details.

Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

N900 hardware fault (mini USB port)

I had been enjoying the N900 for the three weeks since I received it. I didn't run into any of the reboot or other problems. With no warning, however, the mini USB port came undone from inside the device. I already sent the device off for warranty replacement but the warranty isn't going to replace all the settings and data I spent hours to do. It's my own fault for not storing a backup file off the device. Once the mini USB failed, the only option left was bluetooth or infrared to get data off the device but I decided I would just start from scratch instead. Anyway, it looks like I was just unlucky because I havfen't seen anyone else having the same problem. I'm relieved it's not an N97 lens scratch type issue.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

FYI Nokia and N900 users: this is NOT the fault of users. The root cause was poor design design of using a surface mount female USB connector rather than through-hole mount. The reports of incidents are piling up, the majority resulting from casual use soon after purchase.
Someone in Maemo Devices needs to take this seriously. The connector and mount method need to be changed ASAP if they have not already. Don't blame the users; honor the warranty and human decency and replace broken devices.

Apple TV -- mini usb port -- memory stick

Hi,
From a newbie to Apple TV.
If, using an adapter cable, I connect a memory stick that contains video files (mp4, webm, etc.), will I be able to view the videos on my TV via Apple TV?
Thanks for you help.
Andynic

PS: That is, connect the memory stick via the mini-usb port on Apple TV

Need help locating a wallet case for an Xperia T2 Ultra Smartphone that has a slot on the side for the mini-usb

I realize this board is for Xperia tablets, but I don't see a board for Xperia Smartphones. I do hope someone here can help. I have a Sony Xperia T2 Ultra smartphone. I love the phone, but I purchased a case for it not realizing that the case doesn't have a slot on the side for the mini-usb connector, which means that I have to charge the phone with the case open.
I called Sony accessories, and they don't seem to make a case with a slot on the side. They have a very nice case, but again, it doesn't have the correct opening for the charger and you have to charge the phone with the case open.
I have also searched several websites for such a case with no luck.
Does anyone here know where I can find a wallet-style case for the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra with a magnetic closure (or some way of securing the case closed) that will actually allow me to charge the phone while the case is closed? Please let me know.

This is the only "question" I could extract out of your confusing post:
"I want to know if it even can be done in Flash or would we need to use something else like PHP or Javascript?"
It can`t be done in Flash alone you need php.
With the experience level you already admitted to, I strongly advise to stay away from such a project, you will save you and our customer a lot of headaches, no offense.

W530 – Solution for lack of eSATAp port

Hi All,
When I was analyzing laptop specifications to buy a new one, I was disappointed because I have some external eSATA disks, and there were no eSATAp connector on any W530 model. Anyway, I brought one and I can assure you it is a solid and great machine.
Meanwhile I found a good and almost inexpensive solution for this problem. It is a small adapter from Addonics that connects to USB 3.0 port and converts to an eSATAp port. (Since I live in Portugal to avoid customs costs I got mine from Aimtec (UK)).
I measure transfers of 120 MB/s with my 2,5” external disk and so far I am totally satisfied with this solution. To avoid mechanical stress in the laptop port, I suggest using an small USB3.0 extension cable (15 cm) instead of connecting directly the adapter to the computer.
(NOTE: I have no comercial interest or own any stock options on the referred companies. My only purpose is to share with other members this workaround since Lenovo dropped the support of eSATAp ports on W530 model).

Dear sophware,
I don't think this Sonnet adapter supplies power to the external drive. It is eSATA not eSATAp. In this case it is necessary to connect another cable to an USB port to supply power to the external disk.
In my own opinion I think it is better to have an external adapter than an internal one:
a) If outside, the heat it generates will be dissipated in the air while the heat generated by the internal adapter will be added to the one already inside and generated by the CPU, graphics etc..
b) Call me a too much careful person, but in case of internal adapter problem or short circuit, I prefer it occurs outside my machine. The electrical isolation is greater in a USB port than in the ExpressCard/34 Bus. Any electric pick or static discharge and the motherboard internal bus buffers may be damage.
These are the reasons why I choose an external adapter.
Best regards,
A.Nuno

Problems with USB port and connecting ipod?

So I recently got a Macbook Pro Retina and I'm having some trouble with my USB ports especially when syncing my ipod is involved. For some reason, the ipod has trouble connecting and it fluctuates from connecting to not connecting and sometimes, the computer says USB devices are disabled. I've looked this up before and tried the PRAM reset or whatever, but it still doesn't work. I'm not really sure what's going on because when I try to charge the ipod with a wall charger, it works perfectly fine. However, trying to charge it with my computer is a different story. I've tried charging my ipod from both sides of the port but it still does not work. (Also can someone explain how to know whether the USB is 3.0 or 2.0?) Thank you:) This problem does not involve my ipod because I recently just got it back from servicing.

I went through all said steps.
It is not acknowledging the fact that I have my iPod plugged in at all under the Universal Serial Bus. Or that fact that the USB port is plugged in.
Any more advice??
Thank you so much for any and all help!

Solution and problem about USB port shutdown in thunderbolt

Problem:
Recently, i find that all USB port, audio in my thunderbolt have been disabled and when i restart computer, it will work for a while, i play a song, the audio go through display for a while, then go to Internal Speakers. In System Preferences -> Sound -> Output, i find that Display Audio disappeared. i googled online, i find that USB ports are disable as same time. I went to Apple Store, changed logical board, it DOES'T work. I called them, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
What i do:
To my knowledge, the thunderbolt display connect to my Macmini by thunderbolt port, the OS recognize thunderbolt as two logical ports, one is video and another is USB ports(just like usb hub). the audio is belong to USB ports. Therefore, i guess that the problem is software, not hardware.
Solution:
If you have this prolbem, please do not apply any update after 4 april 2012, the files include Java update for OS X 2012-001 to 003, also a flash play update( it is maybe the flashback virus). I am not sure which one cause the problem. Because my work, i have to use time machine every half day to backup my computer, so i restore my OS and find the solution.
I hope it help you.
Readman

For most users I don't agree with the above recommendation. The latest Java updates address the security holes being utilized by the current strains for the flashback trojan and also attempt to remove it if you are infected. So here's yiour choices:
1. Must you have sound coming out of your display's not-so-good speakers vs. alternative better sound systems? If so take your chances, or,
2. Install the updates to at least check for the trojans (or at least use F_Secure's Flashback Removal Tool) but turn Java off. Turning Java off is the general recommandation anyhow, no matter whether you update or not.
3. If you must use Java, and don't update it, risk the possibility of getting one of the flashback trojans and possibility compromising your on-line security. Here too turn Java off in at least the browsers you use.

1 USB port charge but not recognise my iphone the othe one works fine

Hey guys,
I have MacBook Air 11-inch, Mid 2012
1 USB port just charges my phone but not recgnise it. I tried a flash drive and it didn't recgnise it as well
It was working well but all of a sudden it stopped working
please help

Try resetting the PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.

Female Mini Display Port Adapter - Connect Monitor to Non Mini Display Port

Anyone know of a Female Mini Display Port Adapter, so I can connect the 24 LED Cinema Display to a computer that has DVI connector? Or hook the monitor up to a KVM, so I can use the monitor with multiple computers?
I know Apple doesn't make these, but does a third party?
Monoline appears to be coming out with adapters to hook a mini display port computer to DVI and HDMI, but not a mini display port monitor to DVI or HDMI.

'Mini Display port' is just a smaller version of display port, which is a slightly different version of HMDI.
No. You may be thinking of Mini DVI. Mini DisplayPort is a smaller verion of DisplayPort, which is different from DVI and HDMI.
<http://www.displayport.org/white-papers/whitepapers/DPTech_OverviewEnglish.pdf>
HDMI, display port, mini display port AND DVI are all capable of being 'converted' from one to another.
It is easy to make a Mini DisplayPort (card) to DVI (display) adapter because a DisplayPort card can be set to generate DVI signals. (Dual-link DVI is a bit more complicated since the adapter must sepatate the clock and data.). A DVI card cannot generate DisplayPort signals, so an adapter for a DisplayPort display with a DVI card would be a lot more complicated.
The ONLY thing that you would LOSE in a DVI to display port conversion is an audio signal.
HDMI is DVI video plus digital audio. DisplayPort does not use DVI video.
The point is they are all interchangeable, signal wise.
No. A DisplayPort card can generate DVI signals when a DuisplayPort to DVI adapter is detected, but a DVI cards cannot generate DiusolayPort signals.
But why should Apple make a cheap DVI to female display port when they can make more money on overpriced graphics card upgrades?
They can't make a cheap adapter, but they could have added a DVI port to the display.

Why won't usb ports recognize connected devices?

TouchSmart tm2-1000 CTO will not recognize (or power) any devices (DVD drive, mouse, etc.) connected to any of it's USB ports. Have updated BIOS and uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.

Hello, in Disk Utility, does it say mounted or can you click on the Mount Icon? How about the Verify Disk Button?
I updated the preferences for Finder for devices and it still doesn't show up.
Do you mean Finder>Preferences>General & checked Show External Disks?
How about Finder>Preferences>>Sidebar>External Disks?
Do you know what format these drives are?

USB port charge battery MuVo n

Hello
I have a question about the USB port and rechargeable battery.
I use a rechargeable AAA battery in my MuVo N200.
I notice when my battery is near to dead and I connect my MuVo to the USB port of my PC, it's seem to recharge the battery.
The battery indicator show me full.
Is it possible that the USB port of my computer recharge my battery?
Is it normal?
Can this phenomena damage my MuVo?
Thanks for help

What's more likely is that when in the PC the player is using USB power and the battery is recovering a little. Alkalines do recover a tiny bit, particularly when warmed up, or so's the myth.

Appletv mini usb port not working

Plugged in mini usb into Macbook and its not reading the appletv. Any thoughts?

only reason one connects it by usb is if the appletv have 100% crashed and need to have it's firmware restored
not sure what you mean by "does not read on my bacbook" but if you mean it does not access the macbooks shared itune lib then thats a feature that needs to be turned on in itunes on the computer
not be block by the firewall in the computer
and not be blocked by the wifi router
most wifi router blocking can be ruled out if you try to connect it by ethernet cable rather then wifi
then all you have which could be blocking you would be your computers firewall which you can turn off to test
or if you did not set your itunes lib to be shared which you can then do in your itunes on your computer
