Am I Screwed? Is my N9 dead? - maemo.org

unfuccwittable | # 1 | 2013-02-21, 05:29 | Report

My phone was working fine up until a week ago. I put it on the charger, went to bed. When I woke up, I was checking my email and the phone flashed the "Low battery, please connect the charger" message. But my N9 was still on the charger and had been the entire night. the battery indicator was full. then, the N9 just SHUT OFF. and all attempts to turn it back on have failed. Now, whenever I plug it in to a charger (wall charger or via usb connected to computer) the battery icon with the plug shows up on the screen.

anyway, I've attached a photo of the phone while charging. Any help is appreciated.

Also, if anyone has a white N9 in great to new condition, I'm totally in the market for one.

Second that!

And BTW your N9 may be able to recover from its battery problem, but I am not so sure it will recover from having its picture taken by an iPhone :P

Mine suffered the same fate, in my case it was still under warantee so Nokia sorted it. However at least i now know there is a DIY solution.

thanks for the help guys. In my case, I live in the USA so Nokia doesn't offer warranties for the N9. Sad times.

that icon just tells that its in act dead mode (charging mode), its easily fixable by flasher. Or even with long press powerbutton (30seconds) might be enough.
