This blog is about IQstream IPTV box which streams Pakistani , Indian , Bangladeshi channels live and free of cost . You can read about the pros and cons and all version of the box in this post . Be sure to leave comments and suggestions
Hello guys, if you have come to this post chances are that your IQstream IPTV has a broken charger connector . I will be showing you how to repair IQstream IPTV . Please keep in mind that there are two versions of IQstream IPTV . The first one that came out in the beginning was the one with the regular round charger . The second version is the one that has the USB type B charger port similar to the one shown in the picture below .

Tools needed:
Tools needed:
Before you get started , you will need the following tools . A soldering iron, some soldering wire , a cutter , a flat head screw driver , and a Philip head screw driver .
Step 1:
Step 1:
Make sure that IQstream IPTV is unplugged from any other wires such as the HDMI , and the Ethernet cable or the wireless antenna . Flip the IQstream IPTV box over and right where the warranty seal is there is a dip underneath it . Put a flat head screwdriver or cutter and pop it open . See picture below .
Use Flat head screw driver or cutter to pop open the base
Base and Box separate from each other
Step 2:
Step 2:
Unscrew the two Philip head screws on the board as shown below . The board will come off now . Take out the charger port that has been broken . There is a sport where the port was originally soldered , and right under that there are 5 slots like connections as see in picture .

Step 3:
Step 3:
Take the charger that came with the IQstream IPTV Box and cut off the B type connector from the wire . The wire will expose two wires one is black and one is red . The red one is positive 5v and the black one is the ground cable . Strip both cables about 2mm in length
Red Wire 5V positive , Black Wire Ground
Step 4:
Step 4:
There are 5 total slot like connectors on the board where the female USB connector was connected . Please see picture . The first one from the left is the positive connector, and the last one is the negative or ground . So , you will connect the 5V red wire on to the left most connector , and the ground wire black to the right most connector . This is a very tedious process as the connections are very small , and special handling is needed to connect them. Just make sure that the wire does not connect to the other wires next to it . It will need a small tap of the soldering iron and it should be connected . Also , please make sure that the soldering iron does not touch the connectors more than a few seconds as it can damage the circuit board . Once again be very careful in this step . the final picture should look like this
5 wires total
The wires are connected as described , but be very careful as the connection is very frail and even a small amount of force can take off the wires and even break the delicate circuit. Once the connector is connected , plug the wire and check to see if the LEDs turn on .This is an indication that the Box is working .
As mentioned before that the connection is frail ,to counter that , I suggest that you make a knot in the wire like this
Add a Knot to the wire to prevent it from breaking off the circuit
This knot will be inside the box as it will prevent the wire from coming out of the box . You will need to make a hole on one side of the box and take the wire out from that hole.
