Zire 71 Ressurection
by SteveDiRaddo on Nov.24, 2008, under Hacks and Mods

In my debut hack, I will show how to manually charge/repurpose a PDA with a broken universal connector. My example PDA is a Zire 71, which suffers from a critical design flaw in which the internal ribbon cable renders the device useless after a period of time. By charging the device manually by soldering a USB cable directly to the mainboard, we can be sure it wont happen again!
