Problem: My nokia n900 can't boot normally. After I press the power button, it will always boot with nokia logo and white led, then turn off again.. And everytime I try to charge it, it will always vibrate and the yellow led turning on for a longer time than usual charge and with the nokia logo without the back light on it..

Chronology: When I booted my n900 and on the multiboot, I selected the nitdroid and I forgot that my n900 ran out of battery. And after that, my n900 suddenly turned off before successfully boot to android. And that's how the problem started..

Sorry for the bad english, hope someone could help me with my problem here

Sometimes removing the battery for a while can help with reboot issues.

Also, if your charge is very low, sometimes problems can be rectified by charging from the wall charger (and not the usb PC charger if you catch my meaning).

I had this problem when my N900 ran low on battery. I had to left it plugged on AC power without turning on for about 5-10mins then it would work

It sounds to me your problem would be almost unnoticeable if you had a spare battery and recharger. Then you would just switch batteries and live happily ever after, right?

Yeah, and not have the usb port fall off because it's so badly assembled :P

I also was a victim of such a problem when i installed meego. I had to get a fully charged battery from a friend's nokia 5800 which solved the problem (i had to flash afterwards).

Even I faced the problem thrice in last 2 weeks, it happens only when I power off android (Battery level 50% and above) and try to boot into Maemo.

Even I had to flash the rootfs every time the issue occurred, now it seems installing Nitdroid, in first place, was a bad idea.

I had tried using a fully charged battery but it didn't solve the issue.
