Can you report this on the MeeGo thread MeeGo 1.2 RC1 on 30.03.11 currently on here as i have no knowledge of this problem if it is in any way related to a MeeGo install to the sd card.

Please get your battery charged somehow externally and read my ps comments on a few posts back about connecting to pc via usb.

Try taking your battery out for a few mins then put it back in again.

Now hold down the U key whilst you power the phone back on.

I had the same problem and this worked for me, so worth giving it a go.

Funny to see "abill_uk" thanked this post..! The person is in a problem so it would be better to help him out rather than giving a "thanks: :)...however, coming to the problem - I too faced a similar problem like this, I charged the gadget using external charger for nearly 1-1.30 hours. It repeats the on-off sequence but dont care about it...it will charge. But to bring it to life again I did 'reflash'. Might be this would be your last option if other solutions dont work out.. All the Best. Do let me know :)

Did you just jump in and reply to a post before reading from the start? their are only a few posts to read and in one of mine i did tell him
"Even if the battery has fallen below BME detection it will still charge over a long period of time which makes me think it is a usb port problem"

I thanked him for giving more information he was asked to give and if you read through all the posts you will see the full answers given by everyone to help him. ;)

When you say the yellow light was on, do you mean it was on solid, or it was blinking like a normal charging phase. There's a difference. The solid yellow indicates something very different is going on.

One thing I noted is you said you were installing MeeGo to the uSD card. I assume you loaded a boot loader that allows you to boot off the uSD. Have you tried removing the uSD card? If the uSD card image is corrupt, and it's trying to boot off of it, that could cause this.

Not entirely. There's a fail-safe circuit that will attempt to charge the battery if the BME is unable to kick in. The difference is that the fail-safe just turns the light to a solid yellow on, not blinking like BME. That way you can tell which system is doing it. It will take much longer to charge with the fail-safe system than with BME, but you should be able to unplug/re-power and use BME after about 20 to 30 minutes of fail-safe charging.
