DocScrutinizer05~usbfix04:22
infobotsomebody said usbfix was http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater), or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYz5nIHH0iY#t=1866, you will basically need two irons: a small good one (or better hot-air reflow) and a 60+ Watt04:22

* Oksana was reading the first post of the thread (bookmarked long ago), thank you, and looking for way to solder back the (new, from DigiKey) microUSB port (already broken off, long ago). While wire-soldering looks promising for the case of no-pads-left (did I understand it correctly?), it has only one photograph?04:26
*** Kabouik has quit IRC04:28
DocScrutinizer05yes, wire soldering works04:28
*** beford has joined #maemo04:30
DocScrutinizer05also see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1089843 - and some post in this thread has pictures attached as tarball, those are good iirc04:31
*** L29Ah has left #maemo04:31
*** L29Ah has joined #maemo04:32
DocScrutinizer05also what we learned today from >><Oksana> Where did these pictures go? Whole server is not here:<< -> never embed pictures, always *attach* them, like in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1089289&postcount=2504:33
OksanaHaving step-by-step high-resolution microUSB soldering photos would be nice. It's not urgent, because: 1) Nokia N900 repair tools (hopefully, TorxPlus screwdrivers, to be on the safe side) haven't arrived yet; 2) local makerspace seems to experience a break (holidays and such). | HiRes pictures can be attached as tarball, yes. Nice photo! :-)04:34
DocScrutinizer05a known problem of this BB software04:34
OksanaI understand +5V, Data1 and Data2. Why are there three pads for Ground? And I assume they are not to be shorted into one pad04:36
DocScrutinizer05Oksana: for the wire fix, you need to cut out a segment of the can wall04:36
DocScrutinizer05you need to very carefully cut the walls down on 2 vertical cuts (ideally use some file or saw or something, or a *very sharp* and fine side cutter, e.g Knippex), then heat the wall segment up with a huge soldering iron until it desolders from PCB04:38
DocScrutinizer05http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1089843  (re three pads DND)04:39
DocScrutinizer05https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Pinouts04:41
DocScrutinizer05pin4 is ID and should better stay NC than shorted to GND. Pin5 is actual GND04:42
OksanaSo pin 4 is host-or-gadget, and ideally user would somehow be able to change it, depending on what he is using the microUSB for?04:43
DocScrutinizer05so the rightmost huge PAD is GND mechanical post. The short "red wire" to pin5 is correct. The short red wire from pin5 to pin4 is incorrect04:44
OksanaAnd if I want mass-storage-and-such to work, it's better Not Connected?04:44
DocScrutinizer05N900 doesn't really care about ID pin, since N900 is not made for USB-OTG04:44
DocScrutinizer05but yes, better leave it not connected than short to GND04:45
* Oksana should get some small thin red, white, green and black wires04:45
DocScrutinizer05the color is irrelevant ;-)04:46
OksanaBut helpful for future. It is specified, for some reason...04:46
DocScrutinizer05well, in cables, yes. For rework you really don't care about color :-)04:47

ebzzryThe flash player pointed in https://wiki.maemo.org/N900_The_Perfect_Setup is not accessible. Does anybody have a copy?05:07
DocScrutinizer05Oksana: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=870017&postcount=2705:07
DocScrutinizer05incorrect since it shorts ID (pin4) to GND (pin5), but otherwise very good picture of wire fix05:09
ebzzryfound it05:11
DocScrutinizer05ebzzry: please be skeptic about  https://wiki.maemo.org/N900_The_Perfect_Setup, it's not any 'official' recommendation, also has some incorrect facts or assumptions in it05:14
ebzzryok05:14
DocScrutinizer05>>It provided important features like stable Smartreflex which will significantly increase battery life.<< for eample is yet to get proven by a test with hard numbers. Odds are that SmartReflex still might be buggy as it was when Nokia developed the device, possibly on a chip level, thus has negative impact on stability of device (unsolicited reboots or segfaults in apps), and that the energy savings are not really noticeable05:22
DocScrutinizer05>> Additional Unnecessary Software   The following is deemed safe:<< Safe maybe, but whether or not it's wise and what's the intended benefit stays unclear05:25
DocScrutinizer05>>Get flashplayer 10 binaries for maemo.<< it's highly arguable if that flashplayer-10 binary is of higher quality or better functionality than the genuine flashplayer-9+version10-backports binary05:28
DocScrutinizer05but actually this wiki page is better than it was last time I checked it, seems the really bad things got fixed05:31
OksanaYes, already have the picture, white piece of plastic (?) under the microUSB pins looks interesting. And, when soldering, do I need to protect camera somehow, to avoid blinding the sensor with infrared radiation from hot soldering iron?05:35
*** heroux has joined #maemo05:44
*** princefakhan_ has quit IRC05:48
DocScrutinizer05you should cover the camera with carton or thick sticky tape anyway, ro avoid damaging it with e.g. drops of hot solder05:52
*** trumee has quit IRC05:52
DocScrutinizer05the white piece is nice, dunno if it's plastic (Kapton then) or just some paper05:53
