I have two problems with this device now, loose USB port and slow charging/no charging at all.

First the USB port. It works (starts charging and it can connect to PC), but the charger itself feels loose. It only recognizes the USB if i hold the connector in one position.

And next, the charging. I have left it charging overnight, i find out in the morning it has shut down. I used lshal -m to see what is happening, and at some point there is an error and it just stops charging. I nudge the cable a bit and it starts charging again.

Can anyone help what to do with this? Is the loose USB port reason for bad charging? Should i take it to repair? Or fix it myself? Sorry for possibly confusing post.

EDIT: When the device stops charging, lshal -m shows this:

Code:

bme property battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = true
bme property battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false
bme property battery.remaining.time = 0
bme property maemo.rechargeable.charging_status = 'error'
bme property maemo.rechargeable.positive_rate = false
