    last week, i was using nitdroid on my phone. so i left it on my desk when suddenly the battery run out (or i thought so)
    i tried to charge it, but the phone didn't response, tried to flash the maemo kernel with some last mAh on the battery (maybe it wasn't charging because of the nitdroid kernel ? ). my PC didn't even recognize it.
    so i bought a new battery, put it in, tried to boot... nothing, phone dead, tried to flash with new battery, nothing.
    i'm running out of ideas, can anyone help me with this? i don't want to lose my phone.

    Microsoft have started remote killing all N900s. Nothing you can do about it really.

    There seems to be a lot of these over the past couple of days, myself included. We need to start compiling a list of recent programmes/updates we have installed to try and find x.
    I was messing around with Java enhancements to the SunJava arm release. I don't think I updated anything before then.

    I managed to get mine reflashed by taking the charged battery out and connecting the usb cables to both pc and n900. Then hold th U key whilst inserting the battery. This seemed to initiate the update mode before the reboot kicked in.
