I have places in my office like that is I can sometimes kill a battery change quickly just carrying it around. This has much improved in OS 2008 BTW.

help!? my N810 seems dead(ish)
I have contacted Nokia support on this, but I am hoping one of you might be able to help me out, if there is a magic incantation or button sequence or battery removal and wait that might fix it. Basically, my Nokia had a low battery yesterday (I got the warning: Your battery is low or somesuch). I plugged it in to the provided wall charger and didn't look at it until this morning. This morning it was dead and would not power on or register that it was plugged in (no green LED, no disconnect the charger notice). I got in my car and plugged in a (brand name) Nokia car charger and the device registered the charge and I was able to power on the device. I ran maemo mapper with GPS running on my way to work with no problem (30 minutes or so). Disconnected the car charger and took it up to my desk, where I powered it off (using the power button menu) and plugged it in with the wall charger (I brought it into work today). It registered that it was charging (green led, little charging battery icon) and I let it sit for over two hours. I noticed that instead of the usual unplug the charger notice, it had flashed up the Nokia splash screen (blue Nokia on white background - no status bar) then the backlight shut off, and then the display entirely shut off. I then tried a few combinations of things, including plugging/unplugging the N810 (wall charger still), taking the battery out for a bit and putting it back in. No love. I have gotten the nokia splash screen a few times, but it again shuts down the backlight almost immediately and then the screen shuts of a little after that. Any thoughts for troubleshooting this? Do I just have a bad unit? I would hate to send this in for repair when it is something I can easily fix on my own (or worse, if it won't even show the problem for a repair tech...) I am headed out to my car and will try the car charger again - maybe I just have a bad desktop charger (that would be annoying, it is only 3 weeks old)... I very much appreciate any suggestions, including the 'black magic' that is sometimes necessary to get devices out of a hung state.

I have the identical problem, and some poking around revealed that the wire from the charger to the unit is internally broken close to (or within) the rat-tail that comes out of the charger plug. These chargers seem to be very fragile, which is disappointing for something that cannot be replaced easily (not in stores), and the closest (N95 charger) costs €25. They also cannot be opened for a simple rewiring repair, even after removing the two retaining screws, as they appear to be sealed.

Yeah, like Eero said, this sounds really strange. I have not seen this ever lately (and I have seen quite a few interesting effects while we were hacking on the theme config stuff when developing it) If the theme configuration file contains some errors, this will cause nasty breakage, but it would most likely require that you installed something that touched the theme files. You mean it just comes up with blank widgets after a reboot, or does it happen while it runs? I guess the only way to figure this out is to try to narrow down the cases when it happens..?
