Hello,

I don't want to look as a spammer or something, but here is where I see that I can get real help on this.

My N900 was working fine yesterday. I even used FM transmitter and Camera without any problem. Battery drained out and now it won't start up.

It has been charging all night long.
While it is plugged, orange LED will lit. But when I press the button to turn it on, nothing happens. And sometimes it will vibrate and show the NOKIA logo, but it will hang there and show some black lines. The screen keeps dark while that happens.

Tried removing the battery for 10 minutes (or more) and nothing.
When I connect it to my PC, same thing will occur.

Last app I installed was Opera Beta 10.1, but it was working fine.

I have some important documents that I need to recover, could it be possible?
If I need to flash it, that's ok. But, are these files totally lost?

Anything that can be tried, let me know. I'm not bad at computers in case you have specific steps to follow or something that could be Google'd.

If you flash the fiasco image nothing of your documents will get lost, if you saved them in the default folders.

May be good information for documentation.

I wanted to try flashing the fiasco image today. So I left my N900 charging 24 hours.
Today's morning when I was going to take it, LED light was green and it started just as if nothing happened!

There may be a problem when the battery runs out completely.

Thanks for the help anyway!
