I recommend you just go out and buy a new one. It's easier that way. It's the Nokia way. :P

Since you had a spare fully charged battery, you didn't deserve this problem. You did the right things, in general, it appears to me.
It would be nice if Nokia would report what they found wrong, but that probably won't happen. If they do, let us know.
It would be nice indeed if Nokia would report what they found, but unfortunately this is not my first Nokia device I had to send to Nokia. The reports i got in the past didn't make much sense.

Remove the memory card and sim card - then try to switch it on.
Better to rule it out!
I even Cleaned the sim card, because I read somewhere that dirty sim cards could mess up the booting process as well.
Actually, I flashed my device with and without memory card, since i was kind of desperate you know ;-)
I had to try everything I could think of first before sending it to Nokia

I'd try flashing a framebuffer kernel: http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/...s/framebuffer/ Then, you can watch it boot up and see where it fails.

Unfortunately my financial situation forces me to have faith in Nokia's care center and/or the insurance company.

My device is already somewhere between me and Nokia.
Just out of curiosity.
Would it actually made any difference if i knew where it fails during booting?
What i mean by that is this.
If fully reflashing a device doesn't make my device boot beyond the Nokia logo, could I have fixed it if I knew where it fails?

It depends - Either it'd let you know -where- it fails, or one of us could (probably) figure out a solution involving a custom fix of some sort. Say the problem was the RootFS NAND had some odd issue involving bad blocks - a complete reformat of it(which -doesn't- happen with just a flash) could help.

My condolonces. I live in fear of that happening. My old N95 is now my sisters. It is having a lovely retirement not being hacked to death. My N97 was sold in disgust.
Nokia will (hopefully) give you a new one. I hope you have all your media and a backup on your PC. I've just lost all Octobers photos after forgetting to back them up, when I reflashed the eMMC ("A Homer moment" for sure). Good luck.

I know, I know. Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups
At this point I can't try it out anymore since my N900 is on it's way to Nokia.
