@ dwould, i just connected my phone using the official nokia usb cable packed with my n900 and im charge it with the computer. I can even look in the mass memory of my n900 but there is nothing charging. screen is completly black (no backscreen on) and no LED is flashing burning. MAybe it is charging but i cant see any sign of it. When i hit the power button the phone starts and the charging LED pattern is shown
If the battery gets very low then th charging indicator doesn't come on until the battery has made it above a certai level. Try leaving the phone plugged in for a couple of minutes and see if it starts to show the indicator.

The other point to consider is if the computer is supplying enough power. Some computer USB sockets fail to provide the expect 500ma expected. This is an issue for usb disks too.
