Schematics are available from [1]. I hope you'll find the cause and
will be able to use your cool device again :)

Basically, what you need to know is that charging is controlled by the
PMU chip, PCF50633, it's connected over SPI bus and you can easily
view dump of its registers from [2] (newer kernels might have a
slightly different path but the same filename). Schematics are pretty
much obvious but if you have any questions, feel free to ask here or
on #openmoko-cdevel irc channel.
