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

Removing the shielding only took 10 mins more patience but revealed pristine chips underneath.

Using the USB cable on the port (for ease of probing), only resistances of 140k and 160kOhms were...

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

The only place solder could have got is inside the USB cage. I doubt there's a serious short-circuit potential in there?

With the hotter iron (40W), I might have placed the tip on the cage for a...

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

Entirely the fault of the lead-free solder. I ordered some lead rosin-cored solder from eBay and it flowed from the bubble within a second.

Unfortunately, N900 is now dead. I'd previously used a...

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

I cannot get solder to stick to the PCB. I've scraped off a 2mm strip, heated it, added flux with pen, reheated, added rosin solder (lead-free) and it won't stick. It will occasionally form...

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

My N900 was borked last night through relying on BackupMenu.

I have about 5 backups and went to restore the original in order to try and isolate a battery drain problem I have.

Re: Is it worth buying a Nokia N900 right now?

As ever, depends what price you can get it for.

It's not as good as Note 3, but it'll be < 20% of the price.
Likewise Jolla's phone.
If that Neo900 is out, that will be better as only having...

Re: N900 no longer finds phone networks

Battery drain is almost as bad as before -- 6 hours even in Offline Mode and 70% C4.

Weird how all this stuff started at the same time.

I'll probably start a new thread on that though if I...

N900 no longer finds phone networks

It has no problem recognising the SIMs, the same SIMs work in an old Sony Ericsson 750.

It shows no reception icon at all.

Yesterday, I noticed that it had far worse reception than the SE 750...

Re: Cheap (chinese) external BL-5J (and other models) battery charger: reverse engineering

That's pretty bad advice.

Whilst there are official batteries, they use out of date technology and better ones are available.

Re: Recommended browser for N900?

Still using Opera 12 b16 which is fast, compact and fully implements HTML 5. It's got some serious bugs though and doesn't support Flash.

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

I'd have to disagree. The N900 case is good, but if better cases are more available and could have:

1. 4 row bezel-less keyboard.
2. CBD-type anti-reflect display
3. Higher capacity, cheap...
