N900 not charging (no status or light indicator change)
 
I just got the N900 yesterday. First thing I did was charge the phone. I went to charge it today and the light indicator does not show nor does it say its charging on the status bar.

I switched up to the USB charger for my computer, nothing. Would it matter if I had a mac?

Any ideas?

I would hate to send it back. I just got it.

Is it working ok with a wall charger?

maybe your charging block is broken, have you been rough with it at all? have a good look at it to make sure its not damaged.

Are you using the phone whilst its charging?
Light only shows when the screen is off

Also is the device on or is it totally ran out of battery power?

I have turned it off and tried to charge it that way. I left it alone for an hour and nothing, the status did change for the better.

the funny thing is the my mac wont even pick it up. i think the connection is broken in the phone but i just got it. i charged it and it worked the first time so i have to be doing something wrong.
