Hello maemo.org

I've noticed that a lot of people have issues with loose or broken micro USB port. I've been following http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=usb+port closely from first day and I was very careful with mine . I'm not sure whether there are really defective devices made by Nokia or its just careless users... Maybe both

Anyway I was using mine for 5 months without any problems with usb but for the first week or so I was really scared since I thought I gonna damage by plugging and unplugging too often ( I've charged it every day) Ok so here is my solution that works fine for me so far and I hope it will work for you as well



As we know both charger and cable have these little teeth that support it pretty well however they also make it hard to disconnect as well





These pictures show how not to disconnect cable from device







Last image shows the way I do it and so far so good.
What I do is basically I apply pressure with my index finger and thumb to the body of N900 while at the same time I hold cable firmly from sides and push it back..I noticed that this way there is less force applied to USB port and cable comes out quicker

Maybe it was the obvious way to do it but I decided to share with you

Cheers
