  • If you pre-ordered a Hubsan Zino 2 chances are you will have an issue with the controller micro USB port sooner or later. In this video I show how to fix and Duranafy your controller to get rid of "USB Cable Not Connected" error, which makes your Zino 2 unuseable. You either fix the micro USB port or you purchase a new controller to be able to fly again.

    Just Subbed. I'm having the same problem with my hubsan pro controller and it looks like I do the same thing. I wonder why Hubsan keeps making their controller's with what obviously is a problem. Heck they made a video telling you to cut the little stoppers on micro usb so it would plug in better only problem is the dang micro usb pushs right off of board and that's what I did and it broke within a few flights. Hubsan should fix that problem with every customer that followed Hubsans videie. Now I have a broken controller and no soldering skills. This sucks. I was going to buy Zino 2 plus but if they havent fixed this defect by now I'm going to another quadcopter company. It's a way to sell more controller's which by the way aren't cheap. I guess a refurbished yuneec typhoon h or Autel 1. Come on hubsan get your crap together!!

    Great work Al, you made it work again at the middle of the pandemic, congratulations! My Z2 RC micro-USB connector pins were worse off. I did not understand how you soldered it back without adding soldering between the 5 connection pins - with no Amplification Scope. I believe the most vulnerable point is the connector's back, that's where it needs glue to be added. Need also to add glue to the two Antenna connectors, because if they disconnect during flying, the communication link will be lost. Also, it is better to use a permanent short micro-USB to regular USB cable, before the connector desolders again or it's interior brakes, because there are so many connections - disconnections to make, that it won't last. Bravo again, you are a pro!

      Thank you so much @BlueSkyver! It was you that first brought this issue to our attention and a week later I tried to fly at Lake Anna and that is when my micro USB port failed. I did use magnification glasses to put some solder on the 5 pins pads and the inserted the connector and reheated the pins andthe solder took hold of the pins... Lucky me! I also hot glued the antenna connectors and USB port

      @@Duranafy It looks like it has "thru the board" pins and not surface mount pads. Is that the case? If so it would be much easier for people to fix this. My first thought was to per-emptively epoxy the connector to prevent a break but on sencond thought that might make it harder to fix once the poor factory soldering eventually went "cold". Thanks for the video!

    @snafu6548 4 года назад +1

    I did this almost as soon as I got my Z2 a month back due to this known problem. Mine was soldered, but poorly mounted. Once I corrected that, I used a generous amount of epoxy to lock it firmly to the board.
    Because the usb port is located snugly between two circuit boards, I used hot glue to fill the gap between them (In case I needed to separate them again).
    That usb port isn't going anywhere now!

      DO have another friend near by with a Zino 2? If so use his controller on your aircraft and test to see if it is your controller or your aircraft! You might have to buy a new controller. Cheaper and faster than sending it in to Hubsan!
      Good luck my friend!
