Nexus 7 usb data damage

Hi,

Just verifying that there is no response either when you are using a standard USB cable. Is this correct?

Why did you apply 5V to the data lines?

Here is an image which shows how an OTG cable is wired if that is what you were trying to do. You apply an Earth (or Ground) to pin 4 in the cable end which plugs into the device.

Applying 5V to either of the data lines would definitely cause a problem.

I'm not entirely sure but the USB controller function could be incorporated into the main CPU IC on the motherboard. You might be lucky in that there may be components between the USB connector and the IC that may have been damaged and not the IC itself, but it may be difficult to find without a schematic diagram.

Also it would be easier to replace the motherboard than to try and replace the main IC if it is faulty.

Here is a link to the Ifixit guide on how to replace the motherboard
