Re: Fixing USB port, before and after it is to late. (All info in one Thread) (See POST #1)

To be absolutely honest, I have never seen N900's damaged chip that would "look" damaged (burned, or something) - it looked exactly like before damage. Although, some of them *smelled* as burned.

Re: Fixing USB port, before and after it is to late. (All info in one Thread) (See POST #1)

If you have heated PCB so much with 25W iron, the 40W could just "finish the job". I don't think touching shield was the problem, I think that it was heat transfer from the part you were soldering....

I'm afraid you might have, accidentaly shortcut something with a small drop of solder, that landed somewhere where it shouldn't. Or, what is also possible, you heated part of N900 too much, and it...

Re: Security: Heartbleed on N900

I think fixing KeepassX comment is less about Heartbleed and more about password security in general.

I agree it would be nice to get KeePassX usable on the N900.

All I know is, that "ball-like behavior" is normal for molten metals. Are you using rosin flux (http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/solder/fluxes/rosin-flux-835/) or something?

Re: Fixing USB port, before and after it is to late. (All info in one Thread) (See POST #1)

Try practicing on something else lest you destroy your PCB pads. I did not have any problems, but I've had 30+ years worth of soldering practice behind me. There is not much to it: clean the PCB off...

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)

That can happen if your kernel versions don't match. Happened to me too: I ended up having to reflash, make sure I installed a matching kernel, and then restore with BackupMenu.

Re: N900 no longer finds phone networks

As you suspect, possible hardware failure.

As always only a full reflash will rule out software issues.

Have you tried 2G or 3G only mode?
Any debug messages with devtools? dmesg?
