Unfortunately this weekend my Micro USB connector came off.
I was aware of the problem so had been extra careful but this did not seem to make any difference.
On inspection of the underside of the connector there are really only two pads holding the connector to the board.
I haven't taken the phone apart to examine the board, but it is obvious only small parts of the copper pads have been lifted. The underside of the connector has several very clean areas which point to poor bonding between the connector and solder.
I hope they won't refuse to repair it under warranty, I expect my unit was one of the early ones. What has been other peoples process for replacement, do I need to pack up all the accessories etc. will I be getting this phone back or not and therefore do I need to wipe it of personal data/back up.
Sadly my battery is flat, so if anybody can tell me the charging voltage/current for the battery it will save me investigating how I can charge it directly.
