Follow-up to yesterday's q-tip trouble: I bought some tools today, and I managed to get the cotton out using a sewing needle. No springs appear to be broken either; the stylus stays in place when I put it in the slot.
<Airwave>
Thanks for giving me helpful tips and cheering me up guys.
<DocScrutinizer51>
no, there are definitely two steel latch springs, one at start of bay for friction and one at end to click-lock stylus in end position
<DocScrutinizer51>
the latter is what the rim around tip of stylus is for
<DocScrutinizer51>
the friction springt at start of bay has a plastic nose

DocScrutinizer51: how many hours did you spend staring at blueprints of the case :P
<Arch-TK>
s/blueprints/diagrams/
<DocScrutinizer51>
I stared at the real thing for hours and days. No blueprints
<Arch-TK>
ah
<Arch-TK>
with a micrometer and a pair of calipers I presume.
<DocScrutinizer51>
sure :)
<DocScrutinizer51>
also see werner's excellent 3D scans
<Arch-TK>
I can definitely call your devotion to this project inspiring.
<DocScrutinizer51>
I dunno if you can see the springs there
<Arch-TK>
I could just take apart my n900
<DocScrutinizer51>
I know those springs by heart since I mused for hours how to attach a stylus-present sensor to them
<Arch-TK>
One of the first things I did was take it apart to assess the practicality of disassembling the device to replace the pcb
<Arch-TK>
Then I spent two weeks having fun with running the device, exploring what I could get it to do and trying it out as a phone.
<DocScrutinizer51>
first thing that forced me to take apart the device was to decide which battery gas gauge and charger we got (bq27200 and bq24150)
<Arch-TK>
I see.
<Arch-TK>
I guess the neo900 will use the same BL-5J batteries right?
<DocScrutinizer51>
the famous highres scans resulted from that ;)
<DocScrutinizer51>
yes
<Arch-TK>
(It's amazing how you can buy these things a dime a dozen.)
<Arch-TK>
Are these lithium batteries, do you know?
<DocScrutinizer51>
LiIon
* Arch-TK
still has to play around with booting a custom distro on the n900
