Just received yesterday, thanks t-b, he included a lot of stuff and the machine was fully charged, the digitizer was heavily damaged so I changed the whole lcd block and put the one that was on the other N900 I have, I played with it a bit, wonderful device, I was installing stuff (with the maemo.org applet) and it said "low battery" (normal after 2hrs reading the user contract for OVI even though I won't use OVI and 1.5hr tinkering with the device on wlan+3.5G), so I leaved it alone, it finally shut down by itself.

When I got home I plugged it on a 5V 500mA charger, a yellow light started blinking but after 1hr or so of charging, it wouldn't boot, I checked on the voltmeter, 3.1V, not a normal voltage for lithium battery I think, so I put the battery on a charger I have which is pretty smart but can revive almost dead cells, I let it do it's job all night long and finally, when I woke up a few hours later, the battery was at 4.1V, which is cool, I put it in the phone and it did boot and all, asking for date and suff but it said "low battery" again and

when I plugged the phone on my PC to charge it and to do the "lsusb" command just to see (i'm under GNU/Linux), the screen seemed to have a problem because it was fading, not being backlighted and all, the phone shut down instantly and since I try to boot it but it doesn't want because it keeps restarting, I put the battery back on charge, we'll see if it gets better.

Do you think I screwed something up or I'll have to charge my battery extternally as if the connector was dead ? or could it be the battery ?

Thanks in advance
