Yes, that one should work fine.
You could return the phone, but it'll take a few weeks for them to send you a replacement, so I wouldn't bother.

Ok, charged my battery up in a friend's 5800. Put it back in the N900 and it still won't start up. Nokia logo screen appears but after a while it goes away and it's just a blank screen (i.e. how the screen appears when the phone is off).
If I plug the mains charger in I experience the same problem, logo screen comes (washed/dimmed out), LED is off. Then the LED turns yellow for a while before the phone turns off and on again, repeating that process.
I don't think the battery is the issue. Anything else to try or is the phone dead?
Edit - I also tried my friend's 5800 (fully charged) battery in my N900 and it didn't start up with that.

If you hold down the U key when you start it up, does it stay with the Nokia logo & a small USB logo in the top-right corner? If so, you can still reflash it using the flasher program. Otherwise you'll have to get it returned & replaced.

Yes, if I press U and connect it via the USB the Nokia logo (on a dimmed out screen) and the USB icon appear.
I'll try flashing it then. On the link to the bin files, which isn't working right now, but from what I can remember last night, there was no 44.1 download, just an older one and the new 51.1. Someone said 44.1 was needed before going to 51.1, which one shall I try?
Know anywhere else I can get the bin files from?

If you flash 1.2009.51-1 release instead of upgrading via SSU (App manager), you don't need to install 1.2009.44-1 before. Only the case if you upgrade with the flasher-3.5 or with NSU. Version 44-1 did upgrade to SSU so that's for it is required before doing upgrade to 51-1 via the SSU.

I flashed 51.1 onto the device and now it successfully starts up. Are there settings/config I can check to make sure the firmware is flashed correctly?

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:05.
Is it worth me returning the phone (bought it through Nokia UK website)? Does anyone know if they replace phones or fix them up themselves and send the same one back?
