Hi All, I've got a bricked N800 and looking for suggestions on how to revive. It started when I ran the device on battery to the point where the low battery warning came on. I plugged in the charger, the N800 indicated that the battery was charging and I paid it no attention until the next morning when I noticed the display was black. Without touching it, I noticed the white screen with blue Nokia name display and then disappear after a couple seconds. I tried to turn it on and saw the same screen display and then the screen went black. I tried turning it on again and again but nothing happened. I removed the battery, let it sit awhile, put the battery back in and tried turning it on and again saw the white screen with blue Nokia name display before it shut down after about 2 seconds. Tried turning it on again and nothing happened. Plugging in the charger gives no indication that the battery is charging. I tried two different chargers with the same result. I tried holding down the home key while pressing power and the same thing happened as before. Now, a few days later, I don't even get the white screen when attempting to power on, nor any indication that the battery is charging. Is it possible that a completely drained battery cannot be recharged by the device? Can the N800 be run by being powered from the AC adapter only without a battery installed? I'm running out of things to try, short of sending it in for repair (which may not be worth it). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
