What Is the Dell Venue 11 Pro Charging Port USB PCB Board?
This is the charging port USB PCB board (MLD-DB-USB) for the Dell Venue 11 Pro T06G 5130 tablet -- a small but critical daughterboard that houses the micro-USB charging connector and serves as the power input gateway for the entire device. When the Venue 11 Pro develops charging problems -- intermittent connection, "wiggle-to-charge" behavior, slow charging, or no charging at all despite a known-good charger and cable -- the culprit is almost always a worn or damaged micro-USB port on this board. Rather than replacing the entire tablet or attempting a risky solder repair on the mainboard, swapping this dedicated sub-board restores reliable charging with a straightforward screwdriver-level installation. The board connects to the tablet's mainboard via a flat-flex cable (FFC) connector, with no soldering required for the swap.
In short: A replacement charging port daughterboard for the Dell Venue 11 Pro T06G 5130 that fixes loose, intermittent, or dead charging ports without soldering. Supplied new by koeed.com.

Before installing, disconnect the battery from the tablet's mainboard to avoid short circuits. Ground yourself to discharge static electricity before handling the PCB. The FFC ribbon connector latch is delicate -- use a plastic spudger, not a metal screwdriver, to flip the latch open and closed. Inspect the ribbon cable for creases or torn traces before reassembly.
Signs You Need This Replacement
-
Charging only at a specific angle: You must hold the cable or prop the tablet at an odd position for the charging indicator to appear
-
Loose physical connection: The micro-USB plug wobbles or falls out of the port with minimal movement
-
Intermittent charging: The tablet beeps or shows the charging icon repeatedly as the connection makes and breaks
-
No charging response: Known-good charger and cable produce no charging LED or on-screen indication
-
Visible port damage: Bent or broken pins inside the micro-USB receptacle, or the port's metal shell is separated from the PCB
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure the charging port is the problem and not the battery?
If your Venue 11 Pro shows any life when the charger is connected in a specific position -- even just a brief LED flash or charging icon -- the battery and mainboard are likely functional, and the port is the culprit. A completely dead battery would still show a charging indication when external power is applied. If the tablet works when connected to a dock's pogo-pin connector (bypassing the USB port), that also confirms the issue is with the USB charging path. Replace the port board first, as it is the most common and least expensive fix.
Do I need soldering skills to install this board?
No soldering is required. The MLD-DB-USB board connects to the tablet's mainboard through a flat-flex ribbon cable with a latch-style connector. Installation involves: (1) removing the back cover, (2) disconnecting the battery, (3) opening the FFC latch, (4) removing the old board's screws, (5) installing the new board with the screws, (6) inserting the ribbon cable and closing the latch, (7) reconnecting the battery, and (8) testing before reassembly. A small Phillips screwdriver and a plastic opening tool are the only tools needed.
Does this board also handle USB data transfer, or just charging?
The MLD-DB-USB board carries both the USB 2.0 data lines (D+ and D-) and the VBUS power line for charging. If your tablet was not recognized by a PC when connected via USB, this board replacement should restore data connectivity as well. However, if the tablet still does not enumerate after replacing this board, the issue may lie with the mainboard's USB controller or the FFC ribbon cable itself.
Will this fit all versions of the Dell Venue 11 Pro?
The MLD-DB-USB board is specified for the Venue 11 Pro T06G model 5130. Dell produced several Venue 11 Pro variants (5130, 7130, 7139, etc.) with different internal layouts. Always verify the board designation printed on your existing part matches MLD-DB-USB before ordering. If you are unsure of your tablet's exact model, check the service tag or model number on the rear case label and contact KOEED for compatibility confirmation.
Will replacing this board wipe my data or affect Windows?
No. This is a passive power input board -- it contains no storage, firmware, or programmable components. Replacing it will not affect your Windows installation, files, settings, or BIOS configuration. The tablet will boot normally after the swap. As a precaution, always disconnect the battery before working on any internal component to prevent accidental shorts.
