Yeah, I noticed the blue led would light up when it would boot but when it won't boot the leds won't light up.

It wouldn't turn on this morning so I plugged it in to let it charge for 2-3 hrs. Tried turning it on about an hour ago and it wouldn't come on. Took the battery out and went back to working. I just now put the battery back in, it booted up, I let it connect to the wifi and then shut it down. I did notice before shutting down that it said that the battery was still low.

Now it won't turn back on. Am also noticing that when I plug it into power the charging indicator doesn't come on either. Don't remember if the indicator came on this morning or not. Removed the battery for a few seconds and put it back in and then tried plugging it in and the charging indicator still won't come on.

I've taken the battery back out and set the unit aside again. Will put the battery back in after 30 minutes or so and plug it into the charger to see if the indicator comes on before trying to power the unit back on again.

Just found the following on another thread:

If you are having trouble with your N800, please do the following:

1)Remove your battery, and both memory cards. Wait five minutes.
2)Reinstall the battery and cover, leave the cards out.
3)Press and hold the power button until the device turns on.
4)If it doesn't power up, plug in the charger and hold the power button again.
5)once it's booted, hold the power button in again to shut it back off.
6)Replace the internal card. Use the stylus to move the little metal tab over the memory card to hold it in place (I think some people aren't even aware this feature exists, so their cards jiggle out of place and error out.)
7)Try booting it again. If it doesn't boot or it can't see the card, then the internal card might be bad.
8)Stick the external card back in and go.
If the external card gives you trouble, you can power down and swap card position to see if it's the slot or the card. Look into the hole for the external card to see if any debris or pocket lint lives in there. Blow it out and do not use anything metal in that hole!
Took out the included external 256MB SD card, put the battery back in, and plugged it in. Was able to turn it on/off several times while plugged in. I'll let it charge for a couple hours and then see if I have any issues turning it on/off with the SD card removed.
