GPS had fallen off glass and broken power connector port( 5 pins in metal frame) inside of GPS. I can not put power jack into GPS.

Yes, you have found the problem. The mini-USB jack is broken, preventing the battery from being charged. However, you can charge the battery by using the 660's snap in cradle and bypass the USB port. If you want the jack replaced, please see this link:

You will want to fix the jack because you will not be able to update the firmware or map until the jack is fixed.

The power plug in port you refer to is the DC Power Jack.

The AC adapter (Charger) converts AC electricity into DC electricity.
DC electricity has two poles. Positive, and Negative.
(Just like on a D cell flashlight battery)

The center pin of the DC Power Jack is the Positive connection.
The outer metal spring-like pieces, on the inside of the cylindrical shape surrounding the center pin, are the Negative connection.
(The pieces of spring-like metal, all connect to the Negative connection in the DC Power Jack)

[ Note*
Cannot agree with the replacement instructions they offer, at the bottom of the page.
Not everyone has access to a hot-air gun. A 25 Watt soldering iron, and Desoldering Braid, is better, and more easily accessed ]

A few articles dealing with replacement of a DC Power Jack,

1) Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter, (Charger), and Battery.
2) Observe Anti-Static Precautions. Buy, and use an ESD wrist strap.
Electro Static Discharge.

(Average cost is from $3 to $6. Connect the alligator clip to a good ground source.
I connect to an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of an open, empty desktop computer case.

I realize I'm providing a solution to an older problem, and may never hear back from the original poster.
I am providing a solution because in the event it may help someone else.

The center pin you state is part of the DC Power Jack. The jack on the laptop, that the plug from the AC adapter (Charger) plugs into.

The center pin is the Positive connection.
The outer metal pieces, on the inside of the cylindrical shape surrounding the center pin, make up the Negative connection.

Click on the two views shown of the jack to enlarge.
The view on the left, shows how the jack normally sits on the motherboard. Front faces you, and in upright position.

The view on the right shows the jack upside down, and the back faces you.
Note the 4 metal tangs which protrude up. Each has a squarish hole in it.

These tangs go through the motherboard, and are soldered to the motherboard. These tangs are Negative connections.
They connect to the metal pieces inside the cylindrical shape.

Looking at the Back of the jack, (Right view), you see a metal tang coming out of the center.
This tang is the Positive connection. It attaches straight to the Center Pin.

To replace the DC Power Jack, the Eee needs to be completely disassembled down to the motherboard in your hands.

(Observe Anti-Static Precautions. Use an ESD wrist strap. Average cost is around $3 to $6. Connect the alligator clip to a good ground source.
{ I connect to an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of an open, empty desktop computer case )

The broken DC Power Jack is c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y removed from the motherboard, and after the area is prepped, the new DC Power Jack is soldered into place.

Power Dr Mirrors Diagnosis & Testing

Removal & Installation
Motor

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Disconnect the negative battery cable. The mirror inside cover trim The door panel The electrical connector to mirror motor The nut attaching mirror assembly to door frame The outside rear view mirror

3. Remove the mirror glass:
   1. Fold the mirror glass forwards and inwards as illustrated.
   2. Grasp and pull the mirror glass lengthways until it releases.
   3. Work the glass out.
   
   
4. Remove electric motor:
   1. Remove the 3 screws from behind the mirrored glass.
   2. Separate the connectors
      NOTE Remember the positions of the connectors.
      
   3. Remove the mirror motor.

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   
   The electric motor The electrical connections The 3 screws that go behind the mirror Install the terminal pins Fold out the mirror mounting on the motor Hook the mirror glass into the inner mounting Press the mirror glass into place. Place mirror in position in door
   
   

   Fig. Reattaching mirror and electric motor connectors

2. Install or connect the following:
   
   The nut attaching mirror assembly to door frame The connector The door panel The mirror inside cover trim The negative battery cable
   

There are two metal clips at the bottom of the glass that hold the bottom of the glass in place- you can see these from the inside when the door is open and from the outside at the bottom of the door when the door is closed. There are two metal clips at the inside top of the door. You can see these when the door is open slightly inward from the "switch pins on each side.
Open the door. You will see 2 small (about 1/16") metal pieces about 1/2 " in from the 2 switch pins. CAUTION: WITH SOMEONE ELSE HOLDING THEIR HAND UNDER THE GLASS PANEL. Press the 2 metal pins in. Then slowly pull down on handle until the metal parts move down past the tiny opening on the black inner door. This glass is tempered and I can tell you from experience it will break in a million pieces if you are not careful tohold the glass.

It's delicate but very easy. Just be careful

you have to strip down the laptop so you can access the underside of the motherbord then you need to desolder the solderd connectors and remove the DC jack
then put the new DC jack in its place and solder back in place
please note this is quiet a big job and requires knowlage of laptops

Bad contacts with the mini USB port. Either the connector needs resoldered or replaced. Please see this link, section on loose/broken USN port:

Hi - I have a Garmin GPS 126 in bits on my desk ready for a new cable as the socket in the back has some broken pins.

Also refer to the Garmin GPS to PC Wiring Instructions here on the Garmin site: http://www8.garmin.com/support/faqs/faq.jsp?faq=68

The internal 8 pin white connector on to the back of the circuit board is as follows:

1 Red Positive
2 Black Negative
3 Yellow Data Out
4 Green Data In
5 not used
6 not used
7 White Alarm

All the best, Tony at KiwiGPS, New Zealand

• Find a decent electronic repair facility. I usually super glue the broken mini USB connector to the circuit board and then solder the four support legs of the USB connector. Then there are 5 pins on the USB connector which must be solder back to the circuit board. The two outer pins supply power to the I3 and the remainin inner pins are for data. If this is a recent purchase (less than a year) then I would call Garmin. Good luck.
