I've read about somebody wanting to try this, or perhaps achieved it, but can't find where. http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Nokia_N900_pinout and http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Micro-USB_pinout Using these, the back of the pcb of the n900: Microusb cable: * 1 - (black) GND / ground * 2 - * 3 - (green) Data + * 4 - (white) Data - * 5 - (red) VDC / plus / +5V * 6 - shield Using this data: Is it possible to create a new Microusb connection? Where my microusb connection was, there are no more metal solder points to be able to repair the microusb port. Unsure 100% of the following: Line up TX with Data + Line up RX with Data - GND with GND But then where does one obtain the positive voltage (usually 5v). On the cable this is VDC +5v, but the battery positive cannot supply this voltage.VCC according to the link "Common Collector Voltage - main power supply ( usually 5V )". But would this work? the provided link doesnt actually specify where VCC is. The cable would then be routed to where the microusb was. So I'[d attach a new microusb port, with the cables being soldered from the new microusb port, to the connections above. edit: I already have a desktop charger. I also use TinySMB to transfer my files to and from pc. The only reason I'd have for doing this is if I want to reflash.
