I've had occasional unexplained switch-offs since day one, but they would only occur very rarely - sometimes with several months between one and the other. Since yesterday, however, it's started switching off all the time. The last time it did that I switched it on, watched it boot, ran Yappari, and it just went dark and didn't come up again until I switched it on again. Even weirder is that it doesn't just go flat-out dark; rather, it fades out as if I'd put it to sleep and apparently shuts down.

I tried another battery, and the behaviour persists.

Any idea what the heck's going on? I didn't install, upgrade or indeed tinker with anything; the phone was yesterday in the same shape it was two days ago.

Was it brand new from day 1 or was it a second hand purchase?
Are you running CSSU? Still running stock kernal?
Does it stay live while it's connected via USB? (In case a reflash is needed).

Start by checking boot reason.

For me it's the flat ribbon.
For you..well, probably too.

Just to mention, my N900 doesn't keep the time if the slider has been pushed/pulled from the state it has been (when I slide out and back in the keyboard) but it keeps the time when the slider is in the compact state..

It was its battery... and the other one I was trying it with.

I ran it from a much newer and healthier LiIon cell and it worked fine, so I built another battery for it (it's now only two thirds as insane as it was before, but I used much better cells this time around and it actually lasts longer despite only having two).

Thanks anyway! Looks like I'll be using it for a while yet.
