Update: I was too impatient to wait delivery of new battery & charger. So, with the aid of rubber-bands I charged my N900 battery in my N95 phone. It still failed to boot, but it did connect in recovery/flash mode and with "flasher-3.5' I re-flashed with the UK PR1.3 image found by 'navifirm':
RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin
....and I now have my phone back I've just restored from a backup and it is now happily installing/updating all the apps.
Thanks for all the advice.

I am ready to flash no probs, but I fear the battery will not last the duration. I did manage to get some charge into battery by holding it on my N95, but did not want to leave it in there too long,
I have to admit to be being very impatient, especially as delivery will be Wed at the latestest (longer Scottish festivities). I have been so close to starting a flash ......... <deep breath>
Regards
