    In case anyone has a T5 that was not upgraded to a paper weight via firmware flashing...

    AND has come to the conclusion that there is a defect with the USB port because charging has become intermittent or not possible...

    how many readers left. 2... 3? tops? Ok to the crickets and dust balls who dream of one day obtaining a second hand clouper T5 but fear it may have an issue with charging the battery while stored inside, do this:

    trim about 2 -3 mm of the rubber insulator / housing from the present edge thus revealing more of the USB connector. This can be done with scissors, knife or high speed rotary tool, etc in under 5 minutes with any method. The problem is not with the port there is just too much space from the outer most surface of the device's casing to the point where the port sits inside. Probably when everything was factory fresh and brand new, the cord was already at its very limit to make a complete connection. After time and normal wear things spread out sometimes a tiny bit other times even more considerably. The theory is in this case any separation at all would be too much and the cable would never bridge the gap properly from early on.

    Here is the simple fix. Works like a charm. If you notice sporadic charging leading to none at all with other similar devices (read: box mods) try this before declaring the port FUBAR.

    There. Don't say we never "give back". Now when is the next giveaway to be entered? Anyone liquidating their collection...?
