How much damage have I done to my joggler
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2013 1:13 pm
Hi there
I am afraid that my incessant jiggling with my jogglers might have caused its first casualty. I now have a faulty USB port where the internal plastic piece has snapped off and which has meant me having to use tweezers to straighten the 4 metal strips that are now flopping about inside, which got bent when I tried to insert a stick on one occasion. In my haste to repair it, at one point I was also doing this "tweezerin" whilst the power was on. Please rest assured that this was not intentional, and I'm not proud to admit it, but it might have a bearing on the problem (e.g. shorting/frying something).
The situation is now as follows. Whether there is a USB stick placed carefully in the port or not, withe the metal strips properly aligned, the machine boots to a black O2 screen and hangs there. If it is in, the stick (reflashing tool) does not seem to come alive - no flashing LED light, nothing. After about 60 seconds the unit then powers itself down (wish it had that option by default on a healthy one).
The model number is AO2JOGXN. It was running PnPIII before its demise.
Does anyone know if it is totally bricked, or can I recover it somehow? I'm happy to try anything, including opening it up (again) (e.g. does it have an internal USB port?), but would probably draw the line at removing or replacing any soldered parts. Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Cheers
