It is a painfull job even for someone with good soldering skills. I will try to solder the wires from a usb cable directly to the board contacts. I believe it will be way easier and it will last more time

My best success was to 'tin' up the pads and legs on the port well and then use a heat gun after kapton tape masking everything else on the board especially the camera; solder/flux past is what is supposed to be used with hot air though. I have had to use a soldering iron but that is much harder to do.

I ended up just grabbing one of my other N900's and BackupMenu-ing it instead.
