N900 Hardware USB Socket
It seems that there is a USB socket hardware issue on some N900 ...
May this depends on the build date, can you help and report details on your broken device :
No reason to panic most users are not affected and it could be trivial to prevent or repair once investigated by some diy hackers...
what to do ?
Please fill ( template : nickname : build date ; SN ; contact url or email ; notes ) , also tell hw version (" sysinfo-tool -g /device/hw-version" )
