Exactly. It might turn on, or it might not.
I can certainly flash the os when I get home if it is entirely software related.
Definitely have to shut down on the plane...

I have a malfunction with my power button. The quick press doesn't bring up the device mode menu, and the long press doesn't turn the n800 off. Pressing the power button does create a 'click' sound effect, as all the other buttons do, so it might not be the hardware.
I would normally take out the battery and hope a reboot would fix it, but I'm on vacation, and if I can't power it back on, I'm losing an invaluable link to my maps, internet resources, and email. I'm sure I can flash it when I get home.
On other thing that has malfuntioned within the same day is the display does not dim or switch off after a minute even though the control panel setting should control the display.
Any suggestions? To reboot or not reboot? Not having the screen lock is a pain for travel and it will drain faster now.
My first port of call would be to back everything up to an SD card and reflash the device. Failing that get on to Nokia after sales support.

All it really sounds like is that the mce and systemui services are not running.
/etc/init.d/mce restart
/etc/init.d/osso-systemui restart
/etc/init.d/mce restart
/etc/init.d/osso-systemui restart

You could just get the device to reboot from the xterm.
It would turn itself back on, you won't need to press the power button, but then when it's rebooted you can try the power button again.

I'm not saying to do this, but
does successfully reboot my N800. At least it's something for when you have the option to try it.
Joe.
Edit: as root, of course.
