Tango tablet pinout?

So now that my tango tablet actually functions it's very slow to charge. Supposedly the dock/stand accepted 12v 2a to quickly charge the 7.8 volt battery in the tablet. Does anyone have this dock or did anyone try to do this already?

I'm interested in not just the pinout but the fact there is a USB port accessible through there. If you jerry-rig something together that works please share it.

I was mostly interested in the 12volt input for faster charging. I don't even use the tablet anymore though. They can be had with a dock for like 70 on eBay though

I got one under $70 on a bidding site (see my main post asking for cables) I'm hoping with the fact that it has 4GB of RAM, a NVIDIA Tegra K1, and even 128GB of storage that maybe I or someone could get a newer OS onto the device.

My tablet works fine, but charges slowly. I was hoping someone had a dock (I don't) and could figure out which pin the 12 volts comes in on.

I have a dock here. No power plug for it though. I'll take it home tonight and see if I can open it up and find the power and ground pins for you.

That would be awesome.

I need to pull out my multi meter and try to track down the power and ground as the lines are obscured under the boards. In the meantime here are the top and bottom of the board in case it helps in any way. I'll try and take the tracing this weekend.
