In the meantime I've used the script and the result are the following

(N900 connected to PC with Mass Mode enabled):

Code:
Voltage: 3859mV
SoC: 0%;
Charge: 0 mAh
Full Charge: 2056 mAh
Temperature: 31°C
Status: Discharging
Current: 299 mA
Remaining Time @299mA: 0 minutes
Average Remaining Time: 0 minutes
Calibration Needed: 1              VDQ: 0
(N900 disconnected from PC):

Code:
Voltage: 3867mV
SoC: 0%;
Charge: 0 mAh
Full Charge: 2056 mAh
Temperature: 32°C
Status: Discharging
Current: 343mA
Remaining Time @343mA: 0 minutes
Average Remaining Time: 0 minutes
Calibration Needed: 1              VDQ: 0
You know, I can transfer from pc files normally at full USB speed, the only thing left is recharging.

Is there a way to "force" my N900 to begin a charge safely?

EDIT: Found the chip by googling a bit, I can confirm that all the three chips (power management,bq24150 and bq27200 one) cannot be harmed by soldering because are outside of the testpad zone where I have done the soldering.

So what else can prevent my N900 from charging?

Do the 5V testpoint receive 5V even if the charging circuit is broken? (please tell me yes *fingers crossed*)
