I had a similar problem - my N800 charger has an abnormally thin cable, which is very easily damaged by normal use. I got a new Nokia mobile phone, and its charger had a much more robust cable. Problem solved. I took the N800 into the local Nokia service centre, on the off chance. They said "that is not on our list of phones" and added that they would have to send it off to Nokia - even though you could see the copper sticking through the charger cable. Needless to say, I declined their kind offer. Presumably under the sale of goods act (in UK at least) Nokia should replace the charger. Any bright ideas about how to get that to happen, cheaply and quickly? Paul Dundas
