<p>do you have a backup?  if you can get the nokia screen, perhaps you can reflash and try a fresh start.<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>----- Original message -----<br></p>
<p>I have contacted Nokia support on this, but I am hoping one of you might be<br></p>
<p>able to help me out, if there is a magic incantation or button sequence or<br></p>
<p>battery removal and wait that might fix it.<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Basically, my Nokia had a low battery yesterday (I got the warning: "Your<br></p>
<p>battery is low" or somesuch). I plugged it in to the provided wall charger<br></p>
<p>and didn't look at it until this morning. This morning it was dead and<br></p>
<p>would not power on or register that it was plugged in (no green LED, no<br></p>
<p>"disconnect the charger" notice). I got in my car and plugged in a (brand<br></p>
<p>name) Nokia car charger and the device registered the charge and I was able<br></p>
<p>to power on the device. I ran maemo mapper with GPS running on my way to<br></p>
<p>work with no problem (30 minutes or so). Disconnected the car charger and<br></p>
<p>took it up to my desk, where I powered it off (using the power button menu)<br></p>
<p>and plugged it in with the wall charger (I brought it into work today). It<br></p>
<p>registered that it was charging (green led, little charging battery icon)<br></p>
<p>and I let it sit for over two hours. I noticed that instead of the usual<br></p>
<p>"unplug the charger" notice, it had flashed up the Nokia splash screen<br></p>
<p>(blue "Nokia" on white background - no status bar) then the backlight shut<br></p>
<p>off, and then the display entirely shut off.<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I then tried a few combinations of things, including plugging/unplugging<br></p>
<p>the N810 (wall charger still), taking the battery out for a bit and putting<br></p>
<p>it back in. No love.<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I have gotten the nokia splash screen a few times, but it again shuts down<br></p>
<p>the backlight almost immediately and then the screen shuts of a little<br></p>
<p>after that.<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Any thoughts for troubleshooting this? Do I just have a bad unit? I would<br></p>
<p>hate to send this in for repair when it is something I can easily fix on my<br></p>
<p>own (or worse, if it won't even show the problem for a repair tech...)<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I am headed out to my car and will try the car charger again - maybe I just<br></p>
<p>have a bad desktop charger (that would be annoying, it is only 3 weeks<br></p>
<p>old)...<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I very much appreciate any suggestions, including the 'black magic' that is<br></p>
<p>sometimes necessary to get devices out of a hung state.<br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Rgds,<br></p>
<p>josh<br></p>
