Help please!
Long time user of the site "first real problem!" Need help or my work will buy me an Iphone, don't let me be subjected to that.

My phone has been stuck in reboot loop unsure how it happened just plugged in to charger switched off then on and didn't stop. Hard to explain, here we go. The power button is not pressed yet when I put the bat in or plug to a charger it boots up white screen nokia logo goes through blinking lights stalls shuts down orange charge lights blink 4-5 times then starts over again. Only way to stop this is pull the bat out.

I have searched all info before coming to you and asking for help. I have flashed re-flashed and flashed some more, Nothing works!

I can get it to boot past logo and blinking lights see the desktop and all is running as normal while in R&D mode but when I plug in to charger I get "Not Charging" yellow banner I can access the 32gb hd but does not charge on any charger. Also my bat drains extremely fast from full might be all the restarts and flashing or I think its not reading bat levels as im talking 10mins and the bat low level banner pops up?

When I take it out of R&D mode it will not boot.

I have tried to flash using Ubuntu live cd through running off usb stick but get the same result.

Im not sure but it seems there is still software that does not get flashed and this might be corrupt?
my problem seems to be somewhere in the battery and connection area because even with a full battery the phone might register it as full and then as empty in the next boot.

I have downloaded new Fiasco and Emmc bin file to make sure they are not corrupt.

What I have tried.
1. Using Win7 64bit Charged battery using friends Nokia, Flashed Fiasco and emmc. Did not work

2. Using Win7 64bit Pulled bat out connected usb loaded flasher inserted bat when trying to find connection. Flashed again but did not work.

3. Using livecd Ubuntu 10.10 on mem stick flashed Fiasco and Emmc no change.

Any other options, is there something that still gets left behind when flashing these two things that I might be able to reload?
my thoughts are if it was hardware I wouldn't be able to boot it at all at the moment I can only do this in R&D mode. I'm at a loss now and really hope this is not the end of my N900.
