How to solve the N900 USB problem

Aim:

To get rid of the problem where removing the usb charger also tears out the usb port from the nokia n900.


Theory:
If you see the microUSB patent page you'll notice that the latches have been designed to induce high extraction forces. This is what causes the usb port on the n900 to tear of it's hinges.

Equipment Required:

Fine File.

Your micro USB cable - both the charger and the data cable versions should be taken care of.

Procedure:

The method is simple. 

1. Just take the file and place it on the latches over the micro USB cable.
2. Make sure that the file is horizontally placed.
3.  Then you can start filing slowly and surely.
4. After filing away those latches you should be able to pull out the microUSB from it's slot on the n900 with relative ease.
   

Have fun !!!!
