Don't mean to scare anyone, but I think the linked update provided above has just bricked my N800. It worked fine at first and then when I clicked on the memory icon on control panel the N800 simply froze and then after a couple of minutes the screen went black and I cannot switch it on anymore - it just seems to have died!!

Does anyone know what I should do!!??? I installed some previously saved settings from my OS 2007 version on the N800, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Thanks for any assistance.

Can you reflash it once more? (meaning does it connect to the PC?)
Did you try to charge it? (just in the case you were in the battery limits)..

Tried both - but nothing happened - no response when trying to switch on. In process of trying to remove the battery (which aint easy!) to see if that makes any difference. I have seen stories on this forum of people's N800s/N810s coming back to life again.

Did you verify the md5 checksum before flashing?

(Just an added precaution... personally I never flash without making sure the file I downloaded is 100% correct. That also means you can download it from anywhere... as long as the checksum is correct you should be safe.)

Thank you M5. I'm getting a 130KB/Sec download speed from that location and will have it soon. Appreciate the link.
