My N800 was in my rucksack over the weekend when an energy drink leaked most of its contents. I blotted up the liquid as much as possible, and the N800's been in a bag of rice for a couple of days to absorb as much of the moisture as possible, with battery and memory cards removed.

Reassembled today, it appears to be working fine, but the battery is pretty low, and it displays the message "Not Charging" when powered down, even though it's not actually plugged into the charger. Might this be indicative of a battery problem, or something with the tablet?

Cheers!

Could be a short in the battery charger or in charger port on n800. I would try a new battery charger first. If it is the charger port just get one of the chargers that charges extra batterys and just change battery out of unit.

I thought the best thing to do in these scenarios was to flush the device through with deionised water, then to dry it.
