Where does "accidental discharge-till-it-turns-off" fit into this? Will that brick the device, or that an incomplete discharge which turns it off by hitting a threshold?
I am also confused over this I thought occasional total discharges were good, if not recommended in the first few weeks.

edit :soz just realised this is the wrong thread for this.

Are you guys sure about this discharge thing? Mine has shut down on several occasions because of discharged battery but I never had any problems charging it. I know though that charging from the data cable sometimes doesn't trigger because it is actually software controlled. However the dumb power socket charger should charge like a champ.

As requested.

Code:
~ $ cat /proc/asound/devices
 0: [ 0]   : control
 16: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
 17: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
 24: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
 25: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture
 33:        : timer
~ $
Same as the previous quoted output.

I'm pretty sure the device shuts down with something like 5% charge so it has some to spare to keep settings without eating into the internal battery. So if you don't try to hard to discharge it, you should be fine
Now can we get back to the subject? I see the serial numbers are kinda wide apart, if it's a manufacturing problem it's most likely intermittent

looks like all the software and sound hardware is coming up fine.
and when you run alsamixer do you see the mixer for the audio capture? if you do check that the mixer is turned all the way up.

and then try an audio capture using :arecord

I already did that, it's not that easy

Nokia-N900-42-11:/sys/devices/platform# lsmod | egrep -i "snd|aud|sound"
Nokia-N900-42-11:/sys/devices/platform#

Nokia-N900-42-11:/sys/devices/platform# cat /proc/asound/devices

They are not wide apart if you look closely.
Other UK users receiving theirs assuming from the same batch because they were all on the same flight from Germany, did not have the issue.

The main difference was the others did not charge their N900s before turning it on for the first time.

Like someone mentioned before there might be static from the phone. I think the hardware got fried?
