I would strongly recommend the file option. Do it.

This is scary stuff..

Bought an N900 a week ago. HK import style.

Mini USB connector hooks removed...

...along with the facial contorsions to go with the exact amount of pressure required to unplug without pullin the 900's gizzards out.

Happy days.

Definetly file of the teeth, feels so much smoother when taking the charger out of the phone. Also its pretty weird that the car chargers teeth aren't as sharp as the mains adapter, feels almost as good as the grinded down version.

Ok i first experience this problem 3 days ago.... now this is the problem...

phone not being charged... I am wondering is it hardware or software. Hope someone would be able to advice and help.

-----------------------------------------------

n900 is off

1) When I plug it into my wall charger the phone vibrates and shows nokia logo dimly i.e. no background light.

2) Then the yellow light blinks once nokia logo disappear.

3) Yellow light continue to blink 2 - 3 more times then a quick green light blink.

4) After that no more light from the led.

5) then a sound like "thoon".

after nothing.

-----------------------------------------------------

i got my battery charged up and fire it up... no problem... my n900 started.

Plug it into the wall charger nothing happens. If I unplug my phone comes out from standby.

--------------------------------------------------------

now i plug it into the PC usb.

on n900 the normal choose your connection option appear.

on PC it states not recognise usb device

later on n900 it states power insufficient, not charging.

---------------------------------------

yup so is it my hardware or software????
