So I was recharging my lovely n800, when the cable got yanked and thus broke the power jack inside (power cable is wobbley when plugged in).
I've pryed the bugger open (by *making my own* torx screwdriver) to reveal, wonder-of-all-wonders, the power adapter is a 2mm x 2mm x 4mm snap-in piece! This means I just need to buy/manufacture a new one.

But my question is (other than where to buy a replacement jack):
Can I jump a wire from the mini-usb line over to the terminals, thus powering my n800 via the mini-usb jack?
I'm not exactly a EE (though many a friend i have are)..
I've got a usb spec here: http://pinouts.ru/SerialPortsCables/...e_pinout.shtml
How would I go about wiring it? I'm off to radio shack tomorrow for a voltage-tester for starters..
Anyone up for the challenge?
