OK - ta for that. When the bit comes I will have a go. Phone is nearly

OOI, what's the problem part? I've a friend with an S2 that I've just
found a new battery for as she reckons it's not as good as new. If
there's something draining current I'd be interested.... (I question the
use of the word "interested" as it probably just means more work for me!)


It's almost certainly the USB port - it basically does not charge, except
sometimes after much plug wiggling.

Known problem and the USB port is on a daughterboard which is cheap.
