Have your pressed AUX and kept it pressed down while inserting the battery and attaching the charger cable as described in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_Battery#More_tricks ? Do you dare to boot the FR with external USB power and then insert the battery to charge it? I've described it on http://nop0.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
