In a nutshell, you need to be persistent. Nokia corporate has agreed to repair/replace devices suffering usb failures. Some service centers are resisting for whatever reasons, and your recourse is to push back hard and often. Point out that numerous people have had their devices replaced under warranty.

Perhaps we could get a sticky with info regarding the warranty process and challenges?

I don't moderate in this subforum, but if someone with time wants to create a new thread for that purpose I will certainly help get it stickied. Or maybe a moderator in this subforum could add the content to the first post here.

Also, I still plan to do a post mortem on this issue on my blog. I only held off when incidents started rising again and I wanted to see how that played out. I hope to get to the article soon.

Na that's not the problem. I use three different chargers and they all stopped working at the same time. So must be a problem with the device. Unless I experienced one of the biggest coincidences ever.

Was there today. Now they used some kind of microscope and pointed out that something was broken because that I have dropped it. I said so what, look what you have done to the screws (they are destroyed), wouldn't be surprised if it's you that have broken does to.
Well gave up and bought an external charger today. Hopefully I find a micro-USB connector someday so can I fix it by my self (the legs are broken on the original after I got it back from service).

I have a terrible dilemma. My niece Nylah was born yesterday, and I have lots of video and photos of her on my mass memory. My battery has died, and my USB port is dead. It had been finnicky for awhile, but I could usually get it to charge with a little trickery, but not anymore.

So now I have to send my device for repair without being able to back up my eMMC. I have no way of saving any of my data, and Nokia could simply replace my device, costing me to lose years of audio and video I don't have backed up anywhere, as well as my contacts.

Any ideas? I'm not an experienced solderer, but I'm desperate in DFW if anyone is willing to help. I'm now without a PC, phone, or music. I'm...NAKED!
