Hi,

thanks 4 ur replies. i couldnt even reply

diff cables was my first idea, didnt work,
i was talking with a friend, he thinks that its a problem with usb too
so i cut off the end of my charger and charged directly, its not a state of the art solution but is a temporary workaround.

I ve heard that messing with soldering can damage the transistors and in result a chain reaction when the phone gets utterly kaput (hw bricked)

I might note that I have a spare-testing n900 which has a defect camera and memory card. This might be used for spare parts (and a spare n900 could be loaded even thru and external charger - its not my main phone). and even though, maybe i can find some cheap used for spare parts. maybe this would be a better alternative?

ps, sorrz for interpunction and bad stzle but german qwertz is a pita
