Re: N900 charger hardware\software problem
 

Just a follow-up to my previous post and the phone not being broken...

I had problems charging my N900, it only charged via USB from a computer, no wall charger was able to charge it. EXCEPT one! An old Nokia charger which needed a USB-adapter plugged on top of it (it had that round connector)... That was strange, but soon after explained itself, somehow.

Soon after I found that this wall charger powered my N900, it would not charge anymore when it was normally plugged, the cable or connector had to be bent in some way. Likewise, charging deteriorated for the PC-USB-cable.

Nothing else helped but to take the N900 to the Nokia repair center. Sure enough, after two weeks I have a phone that I can charge again with almost any charger that fits the plug. Free repair, no questions asked. Btw, got a new IMEI during the repair process...

hi guys, since last weeks everytime I plug in charger (wall and usb) I've to plug well inside the jack otherwise my device begin to charge/disconnect charger...

Hello!

Well, it definitely sounds to be heading that way. That is how it started with my device, too. Charging got difficult and flaky, it was best to leave the device alone. In the end, I even had to bend the plug and apply pressure to make it charge.
