Don't. Discharging the battery "completely" will make its protection circuit cut off, making it much harder to restore (LiIon batteries are not supposed to be discharged too much, it damages them). In fact, that is probably precisely what happened: the GTA01 did not switch to the correct charging mode (because it needs to be able to power on to do so), and discharged the battery too much. The way to recover from it on GTA01 is to "jump-start" the battery (since the GTA01 cannot boot only on USB power, which would allow enabling the charger), which is not a recommended thing to do (and might in fact be dangerous). -- Cesar Eduardo Barros ces...@cesarb.net cesar.bar...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
