    I have 2 TND 700's both at least a year old and both have charging problems. The Mini connector on the side of the unit seems to wear out rather quickly. Is there a fix for this problem like a hardwired USB cable? I would rather not junk them. B4 you ask, I did purchase a new power package with the small cig lighter attachment. Worked OK for a couple of days, then back to messing with the connector to get power.

    Thanks

    Both AC and DC?

    I would take the USB end of the DC cord and gently squeeze it to provide a tighter fit.

    Thanks,

    Thanks Mark I'll give that a try. Is there any documentation to take the TND apart and a pinout to try to install a USB cable?
