It should be possible to charge the 'dead' battery. Boot with the<br>
working one, attach the mains charger or USB so you have external power<br>

monitor its progress using the usual /sys entries:</blockquote><div><br>I tried this once more. I wouldn't charge. I started this around 12:45, went off to another room around 13:10, when I came back at 13:30 the FR was dead, no flashing LED this time, and no messages on the screen. This is what I had on 2 shells:<br>
