Re: [Pre-Pre-Pre Announce]Black Aluminium replacement body & backcover for N900
 

guylhem thanks for the link, ordered some to my collection :)

and there is a fuse in the USB, i know i blew mine when i was experimenting with an DIY battery powered charger and it was late at night and i did not check the polarity of the USB plug, i did not find a replacement fuse so i opted to use 2 strands of wire and soldered it in where i took the fuse out, and my USB have been working fine since then, but if i should experiment again i will check my connections 5 times....

I think your fuse is F5300 (2A) as mentionned in page 4 of the schematics. But I don't see if it is before or after J2061.

Any 2A SMD fuse should do (it may not be pretty, like too small or too big, but I don't have the part list so I can't check the reference)

$5 on ebay for 10:

Those are too big, the problem i had was trying to find a small enough fuse, but it works now, nowhere near ideal, believe me i know, but it works.

And yes it was F5300

i'm interested in this. would love an update soon

Re: [Pre-Pre-Pre Announce]Black Aluminium replacement body & backcover for N900
 

Good job but battery for it?? 3000mah?? for example.

The small battery n900 is a big problem.

With gamming or wifi scaning faircrack or other things in two hours and little , batery empty

Good cover case but , battery is the problem forever.

The mugen is the best capacity but very expensive

Re: [Pre-Pre-Pre Announce]Black Aluminium replacement body & backcover for N900
 

NO the mugen is not the best, not even by a little bit, of course if you are thinking about the best capacity that you can buy then yes it is the best, but since i tested it i can say it is pure cr*p, really disappointing mAh (just over 2200mAh not even close to 2400mAh) and build quality is very questionable considering the HUGE price

As for update - I'm quite busy recently, but slowly going ahead. I've received first, "testing" aluminum (not the one that will make final thing - current one is weaker and cheaper, just for testing purposes), but my Chinese CNC step motor driver - something like that:

...just burned out. No big deal, as I've expected it to happen (due to experience gained while building machine, I know that they're just wrong in design). I've immediately ordered self-made (by other DIY CNC user) *proper* driver board, that are known to work very well, and it should arrive soon.

I also promise to post some video/photos of machine working with new driver :)

Do you think I could get a copy of your 3D model/drawings? I'm a machinist myself, and could probably make my own(I've got a real CNC mill at home, and access to a major production machine at work, plus $15K in software I can use in my off-hours.)
Also, I may be able to help - let me know.

Re: [Pre-Pre-Pre Announce]Black Aluminium replacement body & backcover for N900
 

Awesome!

I'm in, meaning: I'd also be interested in buying one.
