Hi i have a UX-GP5 that will not charge the ipod i have traced the wires back and tested all the pcb boards and found there is no power on a couple of the leeds joints from the main power pcb board. there is a problem with the power supply so to speak so i was woundering if this may of been a problem with these units as i cant seem to pin point which component it is in the power supply board i do know the power ic is geting red hot iv resolderd this but it is still the same kind regards andrew
Put a golf ball behind your Ipod, this will push the connections down. I had the same problem after 4 years of use and the golf ball has been working great for the past 5 years.
I already removed and replaced the GVA10161-A1 board with the iPod dock but it did not solve the problem... checked for continuity between the iPod board and the main board and it checked out good. What else could be the issue? I can only see the AC 250 fuse, is there another fuse for 5v?

SOURCE: my JVC UX-GP5 docking station no longer charges
Unfortunately the UX-GP5 has a flimsy ipod connector. The connector is soldered to a small circuit board in the flip-down dock. After repeated use the connector wiggles and breaks free from the board. Various symptoms result depending on how many connections break. A replacement board is available from JVC in the US. The part number is GVA10161-A1. If you're tecnically proficient you can change it yourself by opening the cover on the docking door. It's held in place by two screws that are hidden under a glued metal strip at the back of the door (behind the ipod connector). Once you get that open it's a simple matter to unscrew and unplug the defective board.
