N810 dead?
Hello, Sunday night I arrived home after a driving trip. For the trip my N810 was running Maemo Mapper recording a gps trace. I had also left gnumeric spreadsheet running on it. The trip was about seven hours long. When I arrived home I unlocked the screen and Maemo Mapper was running. I opened the menu and selected the Trace sub menu to save the gps trace. At some point in this process, the N810 switched to the white and blue Nokia boot screen. I thought mapper had crashed and my trace was gone. That has happened before. Monday morning at work, I turned the N810 and got the white and blue boot screen again... OK I must have drained the battery. I didn't have the charger with me, so I left it alone and plugged it into charge before I went to bed. This morning I turned it on and the boot screen comes on and then the brightness drops (as usual) and then it goes black. The corner light comes on during the boot (I think it supposed to) in the white with blue and green tinges. But that's all it does. Any ideas what could be the going on?

Re: N810 dead?
Not sure, but maybe you ran out of space on the device when saving the 7hrs long trace ?

So there's no progress bar at the bottom of the screen (which comes shortly after rootfs is mounted)? If not, this would most likely be a problem either with mounting the rootfs or battery handling. ext Aniello Del Sorbo wrote: Not sure, but maybe you ran out of space on the device when saving the 7hrs long trace ? To cause bootup problems there should be also some (3rd party) root process that fills the disk, user processes cannot fill the device full enough to prevent boot. I would also expect it to cause the device to enter reboot loop if there's no space even for root to write anything. - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Try removing reinstalling the battery. I find that helps, when my N800 is out to lunch. Mike Sherman wrote: Hello, Sunday night I arrived home after a driving trip.

It does the exact same thing each time the power button is pressed. If you hold it on, it will loop through the same sequence of events I described. It does not respond as a USB storage device. - Eero Thanks, -Mike Mike Sherman[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
