[MeeGo-dev] restoring bricked n900

> I've got a bricked n900 that got messed up as I was trying to put meego on the device. There is a lot of documentation on how to fix bricked n900s, but the assumption is that when you press the 'u' key on power on, you will get to a Nokia screen with  a USB icon in the corner. That doesn't happen with my device. I briefly get a Nokia splash screen (no USB icon) and then a Linux penguin appears at the top left. The screen backlight is not lit so it is difficult to see. I've tried using the flasher tools, but I only get the message "Suitable USB device not found, waiting."

Hi,

http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Recover_From_Drained_Battery may apply.
I need more information on how you were trying to install MeeGo in the
first place in order to guide you further.

Try this as well:

Take out battery, connect USB cable to PC, device, start flasher, put
in battery.
