So I just got my N900 recently, beautiful smart phone a true work of innovation. So am just today......my N900 was out of charge so I said I will switch it off to charge it. So I switched it off, then came back to charge like 10mins later......and the it didn't want to charge at all...the orange charging light didn't even come on at all. I tried the N900 charger in all the sockets in my house and same thing nothing. The last option was for me was to open the N900 take out the battery and put it back again, really frustrating time I had but it finally worked once I put the battery back in. Can someone please tell me, why it did this? Its only like a month old and still in crisp condition. Please because, I just can't bear for anything to happen to this phone at all!......My Maemo community mates help!

I always tell people that with computers, they should wait for something to happen twice before they freak out

Guaranteed to solve ur battery problems!

1) Search the forum and bugzilla, this kind of problem has been reported several times before.
2) You have given no deails about your firmware version, etc.
3) "I work for a bank". LOL.
4) Don't insult the people you're trying to ask for help.
5) If you "aint got time to fiddle wit phones", you should probably get a different phone. May I suggest a Jitterbug.
6) We will use the zero posts you've previously contributed to this forum as an example of your dedication to the community.

I think that "wait for something to happen twice before you freak out" is wisdom deserving to be remembered. I will put it in my personal arsenal of advice.
