HELP! busted usb port on Nanopad, pics incl. Posted on: 24.10.2010 by Angelina Havili Hi!sorry if this is a missposted thread, but i reckon a repair is a bit of "mod", at least this is the most solderoriented part of this community .. Somehow i busted the usb port on my nanopad, i opened it up and the usb connector had come loose. It | |

| Naoma Bosland 20.01.2014 | I just spent 3 hours trying to solder it and just fucked everything up. maybe I don't have the right gear or am just retraded |
| Earleen Noorali 14.11.2012 | Hello, The USB-port of my midi-keyboard (Akai LPK-25), was ripped off when I dropped it from my table.. I guess the cable ripped it off. So my question is: is this fixable by soldering it together? If so, can anyone help me by telling what to solder and where. The picture is kinda bad. IMAG0406.jpg |
| Angelina Havili 25.10.2010 | haha, thats an awesome way to deal with that problem. only thing is, i don't believe anyone is selling a nanopad here in oslo anymore. Think i will go with the one about soldering the cable straight onto the board. It's a really good idea. thanks everyone! thanks for the help everyone,

| Earleen Noorali 16.11.2012 | Thanks for the advices. This will put my soldering skills to a real test.. but I guess I have nothing to lose. |
| Rolanda Clodfelder 15.11.2012 | Way too tight for a knot in there, and I'm not a fan of knots in cables .. a tight cable tie & some hot glue works a treat though. |
| Louisa Oberc 15.11.2012 | Just make sure to add some sort of strain prevention to the new cable!!!! The newly soldered cable is now even more fragile than before (you now have a 6 foot cable attached simply by 4 tiny solder points). I don't have a nano, but a simple knot in the cable on the inside of the case should do the trick assuming there is enough room inside. |
| Rolanda Clodfelder 14.11.2012 | Its fixible ok. You'll need to follow where the tracks back to the next junction / component on the board and solder to that point seeing as theres no-where else left to do it. You could either hard-wire a cable or hot-glue/solder in a usb connector and run cables from the back of it.. hard-wire like my old NanoKontrol above would be easier and probably more durable. |

Why not test and solder everything back to its place?
If the damage is anything like mine though (and lots of other people) and it looks like on his Pad .. .theres nothing to solder back onto the track is gone! Short extension cables from the pins on the USB connector to the next-in-line points would work though |
| Dannie Naranjo 24.10.2010 | Same thing happened to my nanopad, and the nanokontrol. I just got a mate who knew what he was doing to solder it back on, works a charm |
| Leeanna Ayla 24.10.2010 | You should ask BradCee for help Sorry, bit of an inside joke. |

| Rolanda Clodfelder 24.10.2010 | I just recently "hardwired" a new cable onto my Nanokontrol as the USB port had come off the board and stripped the solder points. 1. Take your mini-usb end of the cable and cut it off..strip it back carefully and you'll have 4 wires. 2. Follow this guide http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml 3. If you follow the pins on the board you can solder direct to the next component on the same track. Pin 4 "Ground" is on the board closest to you looking down (marked as GND on the board itself +5v (red need to be soldered to a surface resistor if I remember right). Edited your pic for pinouts..... You could always solder from the connector pins if you REALLY want to retain the mini usb connector but honestly since mine came out I'd always feel like I was playing on eggshells. Personally I believe hard wired is a good thing..you always need to have a cable anyhow .. I tended to forget mine alot and start asking around for Digital camera cables (as they are known by commoners ) I'm pretty sure the Pad is pretty much the same as nanokontrol inside seems to be the weak point if the Nano Series though .. lots of people have this issue. |
