I hope that the issues I am experiencing with my N900 (where using the wall charger in particular doesn't make contact properly) don't require my phone to go into Nokia care for another week or more like last time

Well, mine's in, you can guess for what.
Been checking the online process status with almost religious fervor for a week now, and it seems to finally have gotten off the shelf and all the way to the technician.
*fingers crossed*

Hello, i'm facing same problem here
My n900 won't charge or transfer data, after taking it in NCC,
The engineer said there's one loose pin or something...
and they said it would take 9-23 days to fix it because they had to solder it in the factory
I asked him what if i fix it myself,
he said that would void the warranty, besides it's too dangerous and it may damage the motherboard because it requires delicate equipments, not just regular soldering method..
What do you guys think?
Should i look for another alternative?
There's few good repair shop in my town here, but what he said kinda scared me
Please advise me what should i do because i need the phone for my job and 2-3 weeks is just too long

If you're prepared to throw away the warranty, then by all means go elsewhere - make sure wherever you go will cover the cost if they completely ruin your phone though. The soldering's probably a bit tricky because it's not mounted through the PCB, but I'd expect any reputable repair shop to be able to handle it (or at least they'd tell you that they couldn't).

My USB port came off the motherboard too. Nokia replaced the motherboard. Took about ten days from when I sent it in, to getting it back.
The thing is, I had a look at the new motherboard, and it doesnt look like the USB connector is any better connected to it compared to before.
So I'm thinking the design fault hasnt been fixed, and the USB port will come off again eventually.
Does anyone know if they actually changed the design to fix this issue properly?

Just a question about warranty. When you take it to a Nokia Care Point do you need the receipt, or do they just look up the IMEI?
Is it a two-year warranty?
Thanks. Don't want this to happen to me and get caught short.

I don't think they ask for any receipt (I've not had to take mine in yet). Normally your warranty is through the place you bought it, but if Nokia is accepting warranty claims directly then it shouldn't matter where you bought it (or whether you have any proof of purchase). I'm not sure whether the IMEI would allow them to pinpoint the date of sale though, so they want a receipt to determine that.

All times are GMT. The time now is 14:44.
But for charging battery there are cheap external chargers on ebay. Charging is no problem.
