The fast port connector on my w950i is a removable unit so hopefully for you it will be the same, and i cant imagine them being too dear to purchase!
So good luck mate hope you sort it!

Actually, I never thought of that - I've got a K750i which is basically just good for spares, I might try it's Fastport connector in the K800i, I think they're the same size and everything!
Will have a go when I get back from work as just about to go

at least your having more success with the k800i than i am with the w810i i got the other day.
it is water damaged and it apparently has a software fault, and my comp wont recognise the bugger, so i cant flash it

I try to avoid water damage if I can, it is a bugger to fix, and is often terminal sadly
Will see if I can pluck up the courage to take the K800i apart when I get home!

Just tried taking the phone apart, but got no idea how to get all the bits like the keypad, camera unit etc. off the mainboard! Managed to snap a small plastic clip off the bit securing the keyboard
Still works OK though thankfully!
At least it charges and communicates with the PC, though you need to make sure the connector's in a certain place. Still a brilliant phone!

Cheers for that Nanu, though the thing I had problems with is that Memory stick M2 cover seems to be attached to the mainboard, so I can't get it out of the phone's front facia, not without trying to force it and probably breaking it anyway!

@samboy - Congrats on your K800 mate ! The usual problem that I know of when the fone does not charge is the contacts-beneath it . . . good thing that commonsense dictated to get you a desktop charger and an extra battery in advance . . . if everything else FAILS, the desktop charger will be the one who will remedy the problem . . .

Indeed Jojo, means I've got a pretty much fully working K800i quite cheap, only problem means swapping batteries about - but can charge it just about via the USB lead!
Might have another go at taking the phone apart tomorrow if I can find a way past that M2 cover that's stuck to the mainboard, though I'm tempted to leave it as it is, bit scared of buggering it up completely!
Think I need to get a cheap, dead K800i to practise on!

Decided to update the firmware on the phone, and had a bit of a hairy moment when it disconnected 25% of the way through! Luckily managed to get it back into SEUS and it's updated fine!
Also for some reason the desktop charger doesn't like charging the genuine SE battery that came with the phone, and is currently a bit reluctant to charge the other non-gen battery I'm currently using. Bet that damn things faulty, though still charges through USB as long as you don't disturb it too much!
