| fx-pc | Hello everyone | 08:30 |
|---|---|---|
| fx-pc | anyone there? | 08:36 |
| KotCzarny | sometimes | 08:39 |
| KotCzarny | usual way of irc 'ask, then hang around to see if anyone answers' | 08:40 |
| fx-pc | Hāhā, xièxiè5/5000haha, thank you | 08:46 |
| sixwheeledbeast | was there a question or did I disconnect? | 19:01 |
| KotCzarny | nope. | 19:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | or neither i suppose. | 19:01 |
| KotCzarny | he was afazed by irc awesomeness | 19:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | k | 19:01 |
| KotCzarny | :) | 19:01 |
| KotCzarny | otoh my n900 doesnt turn on or charge for some reason | 19:01 |
| KotCzarny | when i connect charger orange lights for a split second | 19:02 |
| KotCzarny | then nothing | 19:02 |
| KotCzarny | any idea what could be wrong/ | 19:02 |
| sixwheeledbeast | battery? | 19:15 |
| KotCzarny | most likely | 19:15 |
| KotCzarny | i wonder if i have a spare somewhere handy | 19:16 |
| sixwheeledbeast | doesn't leaving it on charger for an hour or so do anything? | 19:16 |
| KotCzarny | apparently not | 19:16 |
| KotCzarny | one particular thing it did, when i first connected it today, it lit into steady orange | 19:17 |
| KotCzarny | but then no reaction | 19:17 |
| KotCzarny | only short flash when reconnecting usb cable | 19:17 |
| sixwheeledbeast | flat battery | 19:19 |
| sixwheeledbeast | ~flatbatrecover | 19:19 |
| 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) | 19:19 |
| KotCzarny | ya, i know, but as i've said, no reaction | 19:20 |
| KotCzarny | but i think i checked battery with multimeter and it was ~3.6 | 19:20 |
| bencoh | 3.6V should be fine | 19:23 |
| KotCzarny | yeah, but it was ~2 weeks ago | 19:23 |
| bencoh | I mean, it's pretty much nominal | 19:23 |
| bencoh | ah | 19:23 |
| KotCzarny | and now no reaction | 19:23 |
| KotCzarny | but the n900 was powered off for that period | 19:24 |
| bencoh | well, you could check again | 19:24 |
| bencoh | with a multimeter | 19:24 |
| KotCzarny | trying to, but it shows 0 | 19:25 |
| KotCzarny | found the spare | 19:27 |
| KotCzarny | n900 is alive | 19:27 |
| KotCzarny | oh well, the bad one was some noname anyway 'capacity q10 1600mAh' i got when buying one of the n900s | 19:28 |
| KotCzarny | :) | 19:28 |
| bencoh | huhu | 19:36 |
| bencoh | which reminds me I should buy a new polarcell | 19:37 |
| KotCzarny | that guy from germany still sells them? | 19:37 |
| sixwheeledbeast | ~polarcell | 19:46 |
| 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 | 19:46 |
| Vajb | Probably that battery just got so low on voltage that protective circuit cut connections to battery terminals | 19:55 |
| Vajb | If you remove the cap you can see battery connectors before circuit and measure from there | 19:56 |
| Vajb | Hmm I think I wrote cirquit. Hooray for autocorrection | 19:57 |
| KotCzarny | circuit is the right word | 19:58 |
| Vajb | Huh I stand autocorrected | 20:00 |
