Their torx screws. They look like little bitty stars.

True, this is more of a mod...there was no way I was going to put the words "USB" and "hack" together in my subject title, it would really get everyone here excited, thinking that I got host mode working.

To those wondering, it is held on with Torx screws...much smaller than the T-4 size I had. I just used a tiny jeweler's flathead and wedged it in between two of the points and it worked fine.

I must be one of the only weirdos that doesn't use the stand. Oh well, to each his/her own, eh? Now we can see if anyone can mod the case to fit the stand on the outside...more than likely possible, the stand just won't fold completely flat.

Why didn't I think of Flickr? You can see how often I upload photos...

Here are two pics...one with a USB cable connected, one without.

OK, I'm in. I use a Strongman case for my N800 and I think it would be better without the stand. Does anyone know exactly what size torx driver it takes to remove the stand?

For those making one you can use a craft blade to cut the usb hole to perfection

T-5 is the number torx bit. most decent computer warehouse stores have "security" bit sets that include it and many other usefull odd shape and rare size bits.

T-5 is the size you're looking for. If you have a Home-Depot close by they have a multi point torx made by Husky that I picked up last year for about $10. They also have one for standard and phillips points.


Damn, there's an echo in here....

Thank you very much!

On a side note on pics-hosting (and as my first post after reading this grande forum for the last few hours): http://www.pandafile.com/ . I'm looking forward seeing this site myself on my n800, arriving next week. Maybe one or the other might find that handy.

greets!
