My N800 is not booting up or even showing the charging icon. I was doing a backup of my rootfs to the mmc card and setting up for dual booting. I guess it must have drained the battery a lot or its really bricked.
I checked the charger output it shows 6.2V, the battery voltage shows only 700mV! I guess that means its drained out? is that correct?

I have searched around and found that other Nokia phones may have a similar bug!
EDIT: Cannot confirm this quote..
...which 9500 communicator users have also experienced (same battery: BP-5L) If the battery is quite low then it refuses to charge - and actually discharges! When this happens the battery is dead and the E61 microprocessor cannot turn on and charge the phone...
I am going to try the usb+reflash and see if it will cause n800 to start charging again.
