i thought due to all the people spreading the no charge when battery is dead meme that i'd need to get a wall charger, but a re-read of the battery page on the wiki provided me with a very simple (if slightly obscure) semi-fix: 1. Push and hold the AUX button 2. Plug in the wall charger 3. Select "Boot" in uboot 4. Wait while your phone boots up :) -- ..Dan // Leinir.. http://www.leinir.dk/ Co- existence or no existence - Piet Hein _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
