Not quite enough info there to put a solution to it but the first thing that comes to mind is the usb port and i really want to be wrong here !.

Then look on the bright side because you just might be wrong. BME manages the charging of the battery > if the battery has discharged to the point where BME cannot kick in > no charge and no power.

Try to charge the battery in either an external charger or a Nokia 5800. Then try again.

Don't for the sake of all that is good an holy, try to flash your N900 like the numpty above told you to do. It WILL result in a £300 brick.

The re-flash suggestion at this stage horrified me, my thoughts were that the usb port is not allowing the battery to be charged being the reason it will not turn on.

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.

But as Switch_ said you MUST get the battery charged before going any further.

PS it is not possible to flash anyhow when the battery is not up at least 3/4 and charging via the usb/pc connection.
And second thought here have you tried connecting it via usb to your pc and wait to see what happens, also did you get the verification the pc detects the N900 in any way or form?.
