Ah, lovely evening for fixing some N900


Already fixed that one board which was inside of the casing. All the USB pads was fine so there was not a problem.

Now let's talk about the excesive battery draining.


In most of the boards capacitor which holds the time and date setting looks exactly like this. The problem is it has liquid inside, and its very similar to the alkaline batteries so when this cap is corroded it creates short-circuit and can reduce battery times even for 40%!!

I don't have exact value of that one, because in N900 sits 0.1F, I have only 0.2F, diameter twice as big. But I also have some nice hacks for that


Fits perfectly Next update should be at Sundays evening.
