Hopefully we can get a few other companies to follow Vodafone on this one

Hi Kojacker,

Maybe Nokia will take the hint

Their replacement of our N900 with a duff microphone was sorted in under 10 days. So they can do it.

If the USB socket is only just surface mounted and relys on solder to retain it , then this is a design fault as solder is prone to plasctic deformation and will eventualy let go. All soldered joints must be independently supported and not subject to physical stress loading.

Simple job to replace the motherboard anyway.

Regards

Richard
