Any idea what could be going on there?
The N900 sticks to the new micro USB charging standard, which requires the data pins to be shorted for dumb power chargers. Unfortunately, many USB power adapters don't do this so won't work with the N900. You'll need to either open the charger and short-circuit the middle two connectors, or modify a USB cable to short them out (or buy a new charger which already has them shorted).
