Hi, Denis, I finally got both garage doors workin on my routines but I have a new problem where my garage is going off line. I notice the power get disrupted at times through the USB connector. Some times I have to hold it by hand. Is there a way I can solder the the USB power without the connector? ---

It’s possible to supply 5V power through the extension port, but I can just repair your unit. Please let me know how do you want to proceed. ---

Re. Extension port: 1. I2C SCL 2. I2C SDA 3. +5V 4. GND Power can be applied to the last two pins +5V and GND. In USB cables these are red and black wires respectively. Connection can be made with the dupont style connector. Re. repair: Please see instructions in [this post](https://community.garadget.com/t/returns-exchanges-and-repairs/137). ---

Is it the port that looks like an ethernet port which has four pins. I manage ti crimp the USB port and make the cord stay, dont know how long it will last. I also moved the mounting location rom the opener body to the wall so there will be less vibration ---

Yes, that’s this one: ![](https://community.garadget.com/uploads/default/original/1X/165269d542af7b0bc35afd6d8289d7caa200f900.png) If the power connection is unreliable and you don’t want to deal with the extension port, then please mail your unit back and we’ll get it fixed. ---

Thank you for your excellent and quick response, client centred after service is the mainstay of a business. My warranty period runs out at the end of November. I will try my new set up for a month or two. if it fails I will send the unit to you for repair. ---

I just wired mine through the I2C extension, works fine. I always have problems with those darn USB micro connectors. ![IMG_3433](https://community.garadget.com/uploads/default/original/1X/f974315f2e0b559b757b797212e39d6a009a691c.JPG) ![IMG_3430](https://community.garadget.com/uploads/default/original/1X/7144d68707067a73839f7dc1a43b9fb111477881.JPG) (That’s an MPC2 connector. From top to bottom in the image, empty, empty, positive, negative.) ---
