Did anyone here *NOT* file down their micro USB connectors? That means your charger, data cable, any other accessories that connect to the N900.

I did mine when I got my N900, which is 2 1/2 years ago now. The USB port is still rock-solid and I charge the phone almost every day. It's the best thing short of opening your N900 and securing the port that you can do.

Okay, don't file off TOO much of the connectors obviously! Just go around the outside of the parallelogram with a fine metal file.

File top, bottom, left and right.

I took off the two little shark's teeth entirely, as they are the main thing that puts stress on the port and weakens its bond to the mainboard.
