so i did something to my n900's usb port. this is a one-shot thing, so if it screw up, cant use the micro usb ort anymore.

what i did is putting a little bit bond on the n900 plastic body and the usb port. risky coz a wrong move will make any charger or data cable unable to fit on the port. but in my case, im lucky.

i dont recommend this to anyone, so if you want to do it, its not my fault if something screw up. its like some of the parts of the device near the usb port has a chance of being clogged.

i used a bond glue for this one...

pics below.







one small issue(s) occured after my application on the bond glue is a loss of a little tactility on the ctrl/sym button on keyboard. a small amount of grip was added when plugging/unplugging the filed down charger and date cable, but not a major issue, i can still pull out the charger and data cable easily. and yes.....its still working
