Remove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered ***NOKIA WALLCHARGER*** to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either 

a) a booted up N900,
b) flashing amber which means you can boot,
c) steady amber shut off -> start over again with ~flatbatrecover while already searching for a new battery.
