Did you: - plug in USB cable - keep home key pressed down - press power button until the device screen lits up ? The device needs to be powered on, otherwise it cannot be found on USB.

If the device doesn't have enough battery to appear on the USB and keep up long enough so that flasher would find it, only thing that can be done is to change into the device a battery that has been charged somewhere else (e.g. battery from one of the N-series phones). - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I was using a not-Nokia charger and it apparently wasn't charging reliably even though the N800 was telling me that it was charging. I, in error, assumed that it would be charged after spending a night on the charger. Confounding the problem was the lack of any indication of battery state prior to a successful boot; that is, you can't tell if your battery is charged until AFTER it boots successfully.

I would have thought that it could be able to tell whether charging actually happens or not. Maybe you could file a bug to Bugzilla and mention there the model of the charger you were using (and maybe where you got it)? - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
