Re: Installing apps when there's no installer

I did remove the mmc's didn't help. I did reflash which did help. The restore from the Nokia Backup/Restore program backup didn't seem to restore any of the applications I had installed, is this the expected behavior, is there a better method to backup? I'm not really sure what I'd done before

Re: Brick after battery dying?

It's possible that you've got some corrupted memory of some sort, perhaps/possibly due to an attempt to write to memory while the battery was running out of power or interrupted for some reason? Start with the external chips -- Try removing your memory chips and rebooting. If this works, then y

Re: Brick after battery dying?

Thanks all, I seem to be getting further. Now I got a blue progress bar that progressively filled up and a Nokia logo (text not hands). It goes no further (after >10min), and doesn't want to power off via the power button, though the back light does time out and come back in resonse to the touch

I must say I'm not exactly loving my n800... Battery died while in sleep mode over night (sayd it had days of idle time available but I guess waking up every 10min to scan for wireless killed it). This morning after hours of charging and while plugged in it will not power up. The back light com
