What kind of PC?
Win10 may not work oob or at all.

Easiest would be a Linux box or XP/Win7.
Some reported that flasher -i does not charge but you need flasher -f --flash-only=kernel -F firmware.bin

What output do you get?

That worked for me, about 4 years ago.
I tried with -f and nothing happened so I got a new battery cause the stock one was old either way.
After one really good battery cycle, the new battery was flat and I couldn’t revive it (even full re-flash).
I switched back to the original battery, flashed kernel and boom, still works after almost a decade.

As these batteries go back to 2012-13 even if using "flasher -f --flash-only=kernel -F firmware.bin" you have probably only got a 50% chance of being able to recover device now unfortunately. Be prepared to wait up to 10 minutes before anything seems to happen.

It is only within the last year that I have made the decision not to source any more non-working N9 for this reason.

Another trick that helped me sometimes (when ubiboot drained my battery completely) was to just plug in the charger , wait for the LED to glim white steady and go black, then re-plug charger. Repeated this a few times and it charged normally - LED breathing/blinking white.

That way the battery got every time a bit of charge until it was enough to load the kernel and charge normally. Not sure about really drained/dead battery.

That worked for me too. But depending on how deeply discharged the battery is, you may need to plug-unplug-plug repeatedly for a loooooooong time. 8 hours is not entirely unusual. (I have still not built that circuit I planned to make for that purpose yet. But I will. One day. When I retire. Maybe.)
