n800 wont boot anymore

Hi

I bought a n800 a coupe of weeks ago and I'm quite happy with it.

But yesterday I left it charging over night and in the morning the display
was black. Now it wont boot anymore! I tried everything: removed the
battery, pressed all kinds of buttons, plugged the usb-cable and/or charger
in....

Does anyone know what to do? How could i reanimate it?

Re: n800 wont boot anymore [In reply to]

What exactly happens when you try to turn it on? Does the Nokia logo appear
on the screen? Does the desktop eventually? Does the screen remain black the
whole time? How about the LED around the 5-way navigator? Does this lightup
as your pressing the power button waiting for it to boot? More information
would be very handy.

My gut reaction is that you'll have to reflash it, but it might need
warranty work, or it could be something simple.
Information about reflashing is here:
http://www.nokiausa.com/support/phones/softwareupdate/1,8461,N800,00.html

Reflashing will restore it to factory condition, so you will loose any
software/data stored on the device. Anything on your MMC will be safe.

Thanks for the quick reply. But It's not that easy. The screen remains
black all the time no matter what buttons i press or cables i plug in.
_Nothing_ happens: no screen, no led, no usb...

I can not reflash it, because no communication over usb is possible. Is it
possible, that the battery drained totally?

You could try leaving it plugged in for a few hours to find out. Even with
the battery totally drained I think the screen should still light up and
display the battery icon, though. You might want to exchange it where you
bought it or call Nokia about warranty work.

Was the charger plugged into a surge suppressor? Maybe it took a hit when it
was plugged in the other night.

Re: n800 wont boot anymore [In reply to]

It's not the battery. The output voltage i measured looks fine.
Is there something like a hard-reset? Or any other way to reflash it?

Re: n800 wont boot anymore [In reply to]

There's nothing like a hard reset that I know of. This sounds like a
hardware problem.

Re: n800 wont boot anymore [In reply to]

I have this feeling too. But I hesitate to send it back. I ordered it from
the nokia store, which is in belgium. To return it would be quite expensive.

I still hope, that there is an other way...
