infobotRemove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered ***NOKIA WALLCHARGER*** to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber shut off -> start over again with ~flatbatrecover while already searching for a new battery. CAVEAT! Only works when ~rootfs OK (no ~bootloop)19:19
KotCzarnyya, i know, but as i've said, no reaction19:20
KotCzarnybut i think i checked battery with multimeter and it was ~3.619:20
bencoh3.6V should be fine19:23
KotCzarnyyeah, but it was ~2 weeks ago19:23
bencohI mean, it's pretty much nominal19:23
bencohah19:23
KotCzarnyand now no reaction19:23
KotCzarnybut the n900 was powered off for that period19:24
bencohwell, you could check again19:24

bencohwhich reminds me I should buy a new polarcell19:37
KotCzarnythat guy from germany still sells them?19:37
sixwheeledbeast~polarcell19:46
infobotextra, extra, read all about it, polarcell is BL-5J Replacement - Wannasee Electronic on Ebay or http://www.wannsee-electronic.de/handyakkus/nokia/polarcell_hochleistungsakku_fuer_nokia_n900_ersetzt_originalakku__bl-5j_i2_2090_0.htm19:46
VajbProbably that battery just got so low on voltage that protective circuit cut connections to battery terminals19:55
VajbIf you remove the cap you can see battery connectors before circuit and measure from there19:56
VajbHmm I think I wrote cirquit. Hooray for autocorrection19:57
KotCzarnycircuit is the right word19:58
VajbHuh I stand autocorrected20:00
