I have had my N810 for about 5-6 months. Everything has been great on it. I had it in my computer bag over the weekend (including Monday) and came to work today and it was dead. I plugged it in like usual and left it most of the day. I tried to boot it up and im just getting the Blue Nokia on the White background. A few seconds later it fades out. The power button does nothing...and the "Charging" never appears. If i unplug it and plug it back in it just repeats.
Any ideas??
Im really hoping its not dead. It was in a padded case, in a padded computer bag.
before you reflash (it is such a pain) try this.....take the battery out . ..let it sit uncharged for a couple of hours...put the battery in and while unplugged try to boot....i dont know whhy but thnis has helped me out of a similar situation in the past
In *my* instance - It turned out I had a crappy battery that would not charge; I reordered a factory stamped BP-4L battery. Recieved it, charged it and all is well again.
Prior to changing the battery, the thing would give me the Nokia Boot Screen, dim severely, show streaks like a bad video issue, and all sorts of weirdness. Turns out certain generations of BP-4L battery were subject to recalls at some point in production (they are used in other Nokia Phones as well as the N810, I believe.
My N810, despite repeated drops and bad treatment, still boots like a champ.
Just sharing the symptoms, a new fresh battery could be a cure.
