May 23 08:47:59 <zGrr> moin :)
May 23 09:24:57 <Psi_> my n900 just stopped working today, now it will display nokia logo and i can get to the boot screen but it wont start maemo at all
May 23 09:25:03 <Psi_> any ideas what it might be
May 23 09:33:59 <kerio> Psi_: is the battery charged?
May 23 09:37:01 <Psi_> yeah, its running the boot menu atm and i have the drives mounted so i can copy stuff off
May 23 09:37:23 <Psi_> i have a rootfs and opt backup so can run those if needed to restore corrupt os files
May 23 09:45:29 <kerio> ...well you're pretty much set then!
May 23 09:46:14 <Psi_> yeah
May 23 10:24:39 <Psi_> kerio: lol backup restore totally bricked it even more
May 23 10:24:46 <Psi_> not it wont even get to the boot menu
May 23 10:24:50 <Psi_> *now
May 23 10:25:01 <Psi_> time for nokia factory restore
May 23 10:30:28 <DocScrutinizer05> that won't do much, and you won't be able to do it
May 23 10:31:06 <DocScrutinizer05> factory restore only creates a new settings files etc
May 23 10:33:44 <kerio> he means reflash i think
May 23 10:42:22 <Psi_> yeah, reflash
May 23 10:42:29 <Psi_> but i cant find the tools, all the pages are 404

May 23 10:51:51 <Psi_> thanks
May 23 10:59:26 <Psi_> anyone have a copy of the combined and emmc bin files
May 23 11:33:00 <DocScrutinizer05> Psi_: /topic !
May 23 11:54:41 <Psi_> well, new rootfs and file system is writing
May 23 11:54:51 <Psi_> we will see if this n900 is dead or just corrupt in a few min
May 23 11:55:36 <Psi_> if its dead i think a note 3 maybe in order
May 23 12:01:48 <Psi_> yay it booted :)
May 23 12:02:05 <Psi_> it maybe 4 years old fresh install , but it booted
May 23 12:24:50 <DocScrutinizer05> sure, of course
May 23 12:25:27 <DocScrutinizer05> as long as you don't break your USB, your N900 usually won't go completely useless 
May 23 12:27:17 <DocScrutinizer05> I got a N810 that must be 6 years old now, and it's powered and running (e.g. as a SIP softphone) 24/7 for all those 6 years now
May 23 12:35:49 <Psi_> yeah, it just died in such a random way i suspected a hardware prob
May 23 12:36:05 <Psi_> or maybe dead CPU from too much overclocking
May 23 12:39:40 <Kabouik> Is there a MPC-HC remote application on the N900? I see a VLC Remote, but I'd prefer using MPC-HC
May 23 12:39:59 <Kabouik> Don't see anything in extras-devel and extras but perhaps there is something else elsewhere
May 23 12:42:19 <federico3> n900... USB connector... *sigh*
May 23 12:59:54 <kerio> DocScrutinizer05: what do i do with a n900 with no wifi?
May 23 13:00:20 <kerio> bluetooth works
May 23 13:00:22 <kerio> so i guess there's that
May 23 13:00:40 <kerio> i already have a home server
May 23 13:01:18 <DocScrutinizer05> no wifi? strange
May 23 13:01:32 <Psi_> kerio: could you use a bluetooth network of some sort
May 23 13:01:32 <DocScrutinizer05> same chip, basically - iirc
May 23 13:01:39 <kerio> yeah but... \_o_/
May 23 13:01:46 <kerio> actually i should probably try to reflash this
May 23 13:02:10 <DocScrutinizer05> the wlan firmware has no checksum afaik
May 23 13:02:15 <kerio> mh
May 23 13:02:27 <kerio> ...can we run linux on the wlan chip?
May 23 13:03:01 <DocScrutinizer05> haha, sure! if you know how to do that with the unknown ISA of the embedded CPU
May 23 13:03:19 <DocScrutinizer05> you can run linux on HDD controller
May 23 13:05:50 <Psi_> install linux on pacemaker cpu, what could go wrong
May 23 13:46:09 <kerio> Psi_: i can
May 23 13:46:21 <kerio> but bluetooth PAN has no good UI on either side
May 23 13:46:32 <kerio> os x expects a gateway i think
May 23 13:46:42 <kerio> the n900 has no UI at all
