    N9 won't power on...

    Had it hanging-off a USB port of my Mac Mini for a few days, it was charging last I checked, but since then seems to have stopped receiving power from the USB port & gone totally flat.
    I've plugged it straight into an AC outlet but still can't get it to power up, I then left it sitting their for about 20-mins but still no go. Any idea WTF the problem is?
    It's pretty much stock config, I hadn't done much in the way of apps/hacks/mods since my last re-flash...

    If the charging light show for a few seconds and then disappear.
    You could try this:

    You're ****ing kidding me, there's no way I'm dismantling this N9, too busy.
    Is there any other fix/resolution?

    The guide I linked does not say you need to dismantle the N9.

    Just plugged it into the USB port of my rMBP, at least now the charging light is lit up & staying lit up.
    I tried powering it on after about 20 seconds, but no response...

    *EDIT*
    Actually just now, about 20 sec later, it seems to be booting up...
    *EDIT* 2
    Now it's stopped the booting process & has a charging symbol on the LPM screen instead.
    The charging light is now slowly flashing instead of being lit up solidly (think we're getting somewhere)
    *EDIT* 3
    Yup, just tried holding the power button once more for about 1-sec, it vibrated & continued the boot.

    All good now, there must be something wrong with my AC charger...
    *EDIT 4*
    Unplugged from the USB port & plugged the USB cord back into the AC charger & now it's charging.
    (Estimated time for charge completion much faster too, naturally)

    "flasher -i" if you want it to charge without trying to boot.
    "flasher --set-rd-flags=force-power-key -R" if you want to force it always to boot up without going to act dead charging mode,

    Doesn't seem to have been necessary, thank God >.>
