Buy external charger. Charge battery. Backup data from N900 to PC via Wifi or bluetooth.

Unplugged my charger today and the usb port came with it. Tomorrow I fly to asia for a month. This couldn't have come at a worse time.

How much luck have people had getting this fixed through Nokia? I now have to pray I can find a external charger either at the airport or when I get to china.

Fun Fun.

The usb pin came out of the phone today. I contacted Nokia Support and UPS is picking it up on Monday. I live in the UK. As this is a documented fact - design flaw of the N900, is this covered by the warranty? Also do you think that they will repair it or give me a new one. I am also worried because, not even a week after i got my N900 from Nokia Store in London, UK, i noticed a few dead pixels on the phone, very annoying so i had to take it back. They then gave me a new one. But i am worried that the unit they gave me might have been pre-production. Is there a way to find out? I read online that the problem with the usb pin used to happen with the pre production units. Any advice? Thanks alot. x

Dont stress about it mate, Nokia in the UK are pretty good at replacing the handset if the usb port has come out.

I got mine replaced like yourself via UPS, it took about a week before i got my new device.

I did attach the following link when i was filling out the collection form: http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/t5/Ma...ng/td-p/629019

The link clearly identifies nokia taking responsibility for the design flaw. Not sure about the pre-production device? My replacement phoned looked brand new so can't complain, as long as it works is what i live by

hehe

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!
You could move your files to a microSD card, and then from there to a computer. Repeat as necessary.

My USB-Port recently broke, currently awaiting an answer from Nokia Switzerland. Hope this will be a guarantee exchange, if not, this is my fifth and last Nokia Phone.

Will keep you guys up to date.

Mine just broke, been reading up on this thread. It seems like I shouldn't even waste my time with Nokia. Last Nokia phone I will buy ever.

Mine broke down at the begiining of march. I got my phone back two weeks ago repaired under warranty (belgium). It took a lot of letters and emails to convince them to repair it....
