Up until now I practically had zero issues with the AC charger, except once it wouldn't start charging but it did after it was disconnected and connected again.
From time to time my n900 does not respond to the wall charger until I unplug and replug it.

That happened again just now. The display stayed dark and the LED did not light. For the first time I decided to open the keyboard. That made the display light up to show a dialog that a computer had been plugged in and asked me to choose PC Suite or USB mode and that current mode is charge only.

I exited the menu, but neither the battery icon or LED showed charging. lshal said charging=false. Unplugging from the wall and back in did nothing.

I gave up and shortened the life of the USB socket one more cycle and unplugged and replugged the USB.
