What I want to say is that that Nokia acknowledges the issue, they just denied the accusation regarding the design failure of N900. No matter it's a design failure on N900 or the charger, Nokia has taken the responsibility to repair.

I'm not going to stop you from soldering by yourself, but imho the time it takes to research and tinker is enough for you to take your N900 to repair and back.

Your choice.
I remember the very first N900 i repaired and it took me all of 5 minutes once dissasembled to check and repair which promted me to do a preventative repair to my own device that took me about 2 minutes and has been strong since. (it takes about 5 minutes to take the N900 apart and put it back together again and 2 minutes to get the paint off and solder the port properly to the board).

So yes far far quicker in any event to do it yourself but that does invalidate the warranty which is the reason i do not reccomend doing it yourself.
