Re: n800 not booting and-or constantly rebooting
 

I'm having a similar problem, I haven't used it for a few weeks and the battery must have died, now when I put it on the charger it flashes over and over the Nokia flash screen and then stops, it never boots up. It just sits there blank screen. I don't know if it is charging as there is no external light. What happened to it?

Corruption maybe? Could have tried writing to flash while the power went out *shrug*

There's probably a way to get it to spew out some text to give a hint as to what's wrong, but you'll probably just want to reflash it.

nope never tried to flash it, never got around to it. It worked then sat. Thats it, how do I begin to start it up? Is there some reset button or button pattern?

Re: n800 not booting and-or constantly rebooting
 

Sorry, I meant the device might have tried writing to flash memory as the battery died (maybe an evil process like the media crawler that indexes audio/video/etc)

I'm not aware of any special reset, aside from flashing firmware from a computer.

Leave it plugged in for eight hours and see if that helps. Check the battery, reset it in the slot. I have several batteries, so I would try replacing it, but you probably only have the one.

But reflashing should be the ultimate fix, if there is one.

its been charging for over 24, and still nothing, if I had to flash it. How would I do it?

Just curious, what was the used software version in the device?

ok as weird as it was that it stopped working is the same situation for it to start. I pressed a few button combinations and plugged and unplugged it and now it works, Weird stuff. Its still charging though, even after 2 straight days of being plugged in
