Sounds your bat is completely dead, charge it from an external charger and see if it turns on. If not try take out the battery for a few mins and try keeping it connected for a PC USB port for couple of hours. If it doesn't work try the wall charger, phone turning on and off is normal for a dead battery, don't rush the process as you might not succeed in the first go.

i am actualy facing the exactly same problem now.
i also had this problem before.

i have 2 batteries and long time ago batteryA started to stop charging anymore. just few weeks ago, when i tried batteryA again, it charged and worked.

just few days ago, i left my N900 unused and now both batteries and the N900 are having the problem as mentioned in the beginning of this thread.

i searched and didnt have to create new topic :)
hope someone can provide explanation, if not solution.

You have To use a 5800 To charge your battery then flash your N900 with Maemo Flasher . but your bootloader maybe doesn't work too. You have to reinstall it (I don't know how)

not working :(

As others have said, you need to charge the battery with something other than the N900. Unfortunately, if a batter is completely drained it cannot be charged with the N900. So find another charger to charge it with.

If after putting a charged battery the N900 doesn't work, then you have other problems.

he is not alone obviously.

Try using another nokia battery(any battery that can fit in the n900 battery plugin, not necessary to be a n900 battery, for example I use the nokia 6303 battery when I face a similar problem). Then, using this battery, do a reflash to your n900. And after the reflash put the n900 battery you have and try charging it again.

ya, its booting now ;)
thanks everyone!

so whats the cause for this problem? the bootloader stuff?
how can it be broken?
before this, i was tweaking around with nitdroid, multiboot, backupmenu and maemeemo.

anyone have any idea which or what maybe the fault?

How did you charge the new battery?......

As others have said, best thing is to charge your battery either in external charger (I recently bought one on ebay for $5...works great...) or another device...

Hopefully, if you get a well charged battery in N900, it will boot up for you...

I am still unsure if anyone has found a solution that isn't using another nokia device or a separate self contained wall charger? I am unable to order one in where I am at the moment and the n900 is my only phone and its died from battery and now I can't get it up again.

:(

have you tried plugging it into a wall charger for at least an hour? be patient while charging and do not try to turn the phone on in the first hour of charging. just plug it in for an hour or two, then unplug it first and try turning the phone on?

Yeh I have had it in for over 2hrs - it keeps looping through the nokia logo. Tried wall charger and usb.

Will keep trying - will I be able to reflash in its current state?

hey..i was already going through this problem...in my case it was a hardware problem..shorting in some circuit...
i guess u must have installed backup menu or boot menu which can cause permanent hardware damage....
so u should go to repair it..

Re: Nokia n900 not charging connect to the charges,vibrates and white nokia screen appears for a few seconds bu goes dark again..keeps on repeating....help!!!!!!!
 

i had the same problem...nokia logo comes..stay for some seconds n then disappear...
bt after getting repaired its working fine...its most probablt hardware problem..or may be of software..

it is worth a try since you wouldn't mind about losing the data in your
phone.
are you planning to flash the rootfs only or the emmc as well? due to the current condition, you might need to reflash both if flashing the rootfs doesn't solve the problem -or it gets stuck halfway during the flashing process.
oh, and on a side note - do remove the sim card and memory card, then try rebooting the device. see if this works before reflashing. sometimes the simplest steps might be the cure for the most serious issues LOL

i'm using bootmenu and backupmenu, and have been using them for quite some time. works perfectly for me though =)
n900 is a real tough bugger - haven't really heard of news about hardware failure due to software modding, only hardware failures from dropping the phone XD

@toxicated: Problem solved?

For what its worth I had the EXACT same boot loop issue after dropping my N900. After many many many x50 attempts to get it to boot, it would only normally boot certain times when I would plug my charger in during said boot loop off the battery. Even after reflashing kernel and emmc (only when it would cooperate) it would still do the same and once in a blue moon it would boot then give hard disk error because it wouldn't recognize the emmc. Since then I got my N9. It could mysteriously or coincidentally be a hardware issue. My condolences if that is the case. :(

had issues as mentioned in this thread

• not charging at all (just going dark after initial vibration when connecting USB)
• starting up, yellow led starting to flash and then staying on for several minutes and finally rebooting and starting all over

finally connected it to a 4W charger & charging normally.
