I just got my N810 and am having the same issue. I fully charged the battery until I got the 'disconnect the charger' message. I then pulled the charger out and thereafter was not able to power-on the device (by pushing the power button). I then reconnected the AC charger and no change the N810 is still dead (ie. black screen).

After reading this thread I found that the only way I can get the N810 to power-up is by pulling the battery out and waiting ~2 hours. After that amount of time I am then able to power the device up. I think atleta's earlier post about the RTC battery having to drain charge seems to have merit.

Actually the RTC backup battery seems to have lasted for about 1.5 hours vs 20 minutes as it was suggested here by someone. When I booted up the device showed 6:36 am and I removed the batteries around 5:00 am.
After doing this a couple of times (what a PAIN!)

I did notice that the time was about 1.5 to 2 hours after the last time I powered it off.

One question I have...when the N810 is dead and I plug the AC adapter in I do not see any change? Is this what others are seeing? It is unclear to me as the N800 devices seem to respond to the charger?
