Please understand that to do the PREVENTATIVE repair your not dealing with any small components as the jacket of the usb port is actually big enough to see and work on with normal soldering iron so please realise this as it is a very simple mod to do, the hardest part is actually taking apart and putting back together the N900.
Or just link to the first post of this thread how to open N900.

(These videos shows how to open N900 more than it is needed for this USB-port fix hack.)
