i had already done all the tricks...i removed the battery for almost full day...then i connected my phone to charger for the full day...........but nothing came out..............light was steady...sometimes there was no light ....and when i connected second time to a charger there was annoying sound coming from phone.....but it stopped after awhile..........thanks

Re: cannot start my nokia n900

Maybe you do have some sort of a hardware failure?
I thought I had, but I did exactly as I described and the phone came back to life after that like nothing happened...

Re: cannot start my nokia n900

I removed the battery for a night long, tried several times to start the device, tried to connect with the wall charger but nothing happend. (I am using my wall charger via an adapter bought in the store, because I am from Europe and the official Nokia charger is not compatible with the Europian plug.)
My only chance was to connect the N900 to the computer via USB and boot the computer connencted with the N900.
After the computer booted up the yellow light turned on on the N900 (it was turned on through 5 minutes (!)). After a while it started to blinking in yellow. Right after this I could boot my N900 and could emergency save my photos at least... :/

Finaly I could solve this issue by I a brand new charger adapter. This whole issue with the yellow lights and with the fact that the N900 was unable to be charged was because of the wall charger adapter went wrong. ...and not the Nokia wall charger itself.

Today I could try to charge my N900 with a different, brand new charger adapter without any problem.

So nothing is wrong with any of your official Nokia stuffs if you are using an adapter as well.

Hope this helps for you all, guys!
