So if you go into H-E-N and the battery power metering logic is disabled is it possible to charge from a dumb cable?
I would like to use my 6V(AC) bicycle dynamo and dumb miniUSB phone charge rectifier-regulator5.2V(DC) to charge the N900 without too many weird adapters. Perhaps I will split the cable insulation in a mini-micro adapter and short the cables although I would prefer to leave things as they are for best weather resistance.
worst case I can use a miniUSB to nokia2mm and then my nokia 2mm 3mm adapter although that gets to be too much junk on the end of the cable.
Hacked or DIY power supplies and cables are how I burned out three of my four Zaurus PDA's back in the day so I am hesitant since I can't replace my N900.
