Unfortunately this weekend my Micro USB connector came off.
I was aware of the problem so had been extra careful but this did not seem to make any difference.
On inspection of the underside of the connector there are really only two pads holding the connector to the board.
I haven't taken the phone apart to examine the board, but it is obvious only small parts of the copper pads have been lifted. The underside of the connector has several very clean areas which point to poor bonding between the connector and solder.
I hope they won't refuse to repair it under warranty, I expect my unit was one of the early ones. What has been other peoples process for replacement, do I need to pack up all the accessories etc. will I be getting this phone back or not and therefore do I need to wipe it of personal data/back up.
Sadly my battery is flat, so if anybody can tell me the charging voltage/current for the battery it will save me investigating how I can charge it directly.

i now have my N900 back safe in my grubby hands. It is a refurb, I only kniw that because there are some photos on it! But it is in perfect condition and I now have an extra stylus.
Have fitted a screen protector to a now perfect screen.
It's great to have it back, must resist buying Sygic

Glad to hear that!
a refurb? so you got the same manufacturing date? so when is it?
i just had read a post that the author dictates that oneself is luck having a non-faulty n900, and mentioned that no problems with the usb port. referring from this thread, that one is really a lucky one

on your n900 box, you'll see a sticker where the bar code, imei, wlan and etc are printed. at the lower right part of the sticker below the telephone logo, you'll find a number like 52/2009 (thats my manufacturing date).

Threw away the box the phone came back in (it was a small nondescript box). Ah well.
