It swelled and had to be thrown away. May be either the battery or the adapter were bad. Refusing to work without a battery and not charging it without booting were blunders by N900 team. I'm pausing this effort for now. No more feel like buying yet another battery at least for now. I have a spare RPI2. I can probably achieve what I was going to try with N900 with RPI. Will write a separate mail for that. -- Mayuresh ___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail

Re: [PLUG] Advice on reviving Nokia N900
Yes. That's the one you get at any mobile accessories shop for some 50-150 rs range. Very useful.

From: Mayuresh mayur...@acm.org Sent: Sun, 01 Nov 2020 16:52:58 To: PLUG plug-mail@plug.org.in Subject: [PLUG] Advice on reviving Nokia N900 Remember N900? There was such a Linux phone a decade or more ago. I have one and that is bricked and am trying to revive to put to some use. Its nothing critical. It will be just nice to be able to revive this good old device. First hurdle was to get a new battery, as the previous one is worn out and swollen, and I was lucky enough to get it. Now to flash the device the battery needs to be in charged state. Whatever little charge is there on this new battery, flashing is not happening. Luckily I know someone with N900 device, but if this battery is put into his device, his device is also not booting. A strange thing about this device is, the charger works only if the device boots and the device boots only if the battery has some charge left. So it is in a deadlocked state. So, possibly I need a non N900 device that can charge the same battery or an external charger that can do so. Most small mobile shops around said they are helpless on this. Any other suggestions or some specific repair shops that can resolve this? -- Mayuresh ___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail good luck with the n900. is there a battery model no. written on the old battery? id recommend not losing old phones; they have some chance of NOT having GPS surveillance in them.___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail

Try some external generic charger. Typically called "khekda charger". You can connect any mobile battery to it. I had purchased one long time back. Let me find out one from my khajana !!
