Jan 07 07:30:22 <fx-pc> Hello everyone
Jan 07 07:36:47 <fx-pc> anyone there?
Jan 07 07:39:55 <KotCzarny> sometimes
Jan 07 07:40:10 <KotCzarny> usual way of irc 'ask, then hang around to see if anyone answers'
Jan 07 07:46:48 <fx-pc> Hāhā, xièxiè5/5000haha, thank you
Jan 07 18:01:12 <sixwheeledbeast> was there a question or did I disconnect?
Jan 07 18:01:29 <KotCzarny> nope.
Jan 07 18:01:35 <sixwheeledbeast> or neither i suppose.
Jan 07 18:01:36 <KotCzarny> he was afazed by irc awesomeness
Jan 07 18:01:37 <sixwheeledbeast> k
Jan 07 18:01:38 <KotCzarny> :)
Jan 07 18:01:58 <KotCzarny> otoh my n900 doesnt turn on or charge for some reason
Jan 07 18:02:16 <KotCzarny> when i connect charger orange lights for a split second
Jan 07 18:02:17 <KotCzarny> then nothing
Jan 07 18:02:35 <KotCzarny> any idea what could be wrong/
Jan 07 18:15:42 <sixwheeledbeast> battery?
Jan 07 18:15:59 <KotCzarny> most likely
Jan 07 18:16:22 <KotCzarny> i wonder if i have a spare somewhere handy
Jan 07 18:16:33 <sixwheeledbeast> doesn't leaving it on charger for an hour or so do anything?
Jan 07 18:16:42 <KotCzarny> apparently not
Jan 07 18:17:13 <KotCzarny> one particular thing it did, when i first connected it today, it lit into steady orange
Jan 07 18:17:19 <KotCzarny> but then no reaction
Jan 07 18:17:28 <KotCzarny> only short flash when reconnecting usb cable
Jan 07 18:19:42 <sixwheeledbeast> flat battery
Jan 07 18:19:50 <sixwheeledbeast> ~flatbatrecover
Jan 07 18:19:50 <infobot> Remove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered ***NOKIA WALLCHARGER*** to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber shut off -> start over again with ~flatbatrecover while already searching for a new battery. CAVEAT! Only works when ~rootfs OK (no ~bootloop)
Jan 07 18:20:04 <KotCzarny> ya, i know, but as i've said, no reaction
Jan 07 18:20:45 <KotCzarny> but i think i checked battery with multimeter and it was ~3.6
Jan 07 18:23:33 <bencoh> 3.6V should be fine
Jan 07 18:23:45 <KotCzarny> yeah, but it was ~2 weeks ago
Jan 07 18:23:48 <bencoh> I mean, it's pretty much nominal
Jan 07 18:23:49 <bencoh> ah
Jan 07 18:23:50 <KotCzarny> and now no reaction
Jan 07 18:24:04 <KotCzarny> but the n900 was powered off for that period
Jan 07 18:24:18 <bencoh> well, you could check again
Jan 07 18:24:23 <bencoh> with a multimeter
Jan 07 18:25:14 <KotCzarny> trying to, but it shows 0
Jan 07 18:27:46 <KotCzarny> found the spare
Jan 07 18:27:55 <KotCzarny> n900 is alive
Jan 07 18:28:42 <KotCzarny> oh well, the bad one was some noname anyway 'capacity q10 1600mAh' i got when buying one of the n900s
Jan 07 18:28:43 <KotCzarny> :)
Jan 07 18:36:58 <bencoh> huhu
Jan 07 18:37:05 <bencoh> which reminds me I should buy a new polarcell
Jan 07 18:37:23 <KotCzarny> that guy from germany still sells them?
Jan 07 18:46:15 <sixwheeledbeast> ~polarcell
Jan 07 18:46:15 <infobot> extra, extra, read all about it, polarcell is BL-5J Replacement - Wannasee Electronic on Ebay or http://www.wannsee-electronic.de/handyakkus/nokia/polarcell_hochleistungsakku_fuer_nokia_n900_ersetzt_originalakku__bl-5j_i2_2090_0.htm
Jan 07 18:55:41 <Vajb> Probably that battery just got so low on voltage that protective circuit cut connections to battery terminals
Jan 07 18:56:21 <Vajb> If you remove the cap you can see battery connectors before circuit and measure from there
Jan 07 18:57:38 <Vajb> Hmm I think I wrote cirquit. Hooray for autocorrection
Jan 07 18:58:32 <KotCzarny> circuit is the right word
Jan 07 19:00:30 <Vajb> Huh I stand autocorrected
