Thanks for the response, but...
1. I do get the USB icon on the n800, but the wizard does not acknowledge it...
2. Now I think my problem does not fit to the battery issue. It is more of a LD problem like this. Does anybody encounter such a problem on n800 at all ?
3. Do you think this is something that can be solved by new OS ?
4. How do I proceed with warranty issues - a friend bought this n800 for me in the States few weeks ago...

Regards,
Shushu
