I updated the N900 software a couple of weeks ago, then a few days ago, the battery refused to charge, either using a wall charger or a connection to the PC. it would say it was charging, but it was a lie.

Now it won't connect at all to the PC so I can't transfer data, photos, etc. In fact, it makes my laptop hang. the only way I can use the phone is to get the battery charged up using another cell phone that uses the same type of battery.

I figure I should reflash the firmware but how do I do that without a cable connection?

I logged a call with the Nokia Service Desk but they said this was out of scope for them.

Thanks for your help. I am a total tech idiot so whatever solution you propose, please spell it out for me.
