add a full size usb port on x98 pro

[Roibeard]

The range seems reduced compared to pc usage but works good otherwise.

It is possible, via the mod. USB to connect a USB LAN adapter, or leads to an overload?

leslie, i measured the current draw from the port and the tablet would happily provide, 220mA which should be okay for some thing like an Ethernet adapter; however, the shutdowns are largely dependent on what the tablet itself is doing. i.e screen and processor power draw.

i find that i still have to use a usb Y cable for power hungry devices like hdds

i dont have an usb to ethernet adapter to test unfortunately

I haven’t opened my X98 3G Air II, so I don’t know if it’s possible to perform this full sized USB mod on it.

Has anyone looked into that?

Does anyone know how I can replace the micro USB port with a new one (where I can purchase one from)?  I’ve bent/broken the pins and need to solder on a new socket.

 

Thanks,

 

 

Andrew.

Can I use spare USB for charging the battery?

MicroUSB is broken already..
