My uneducated guess is that it shuts down since it only draws 100 mA from USB and the CPU + display consume more than that. I was in the same situation a while ago and hacked together http://iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/u-boot-force-charging1.patch that modifies u-boot so that you can force charging at 500 mA. I the turned baclight off, disabled u-boot timeout and waited in u-boot for 10 minutes. After that the battery had charged itself enough to boot Linux. _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
