Can a bricked G4 still charge the battery

[clemsyn]

Hi, just curious if a bricked G4 is capable of charging the battery or if is totally dead. Thanks.

I doubt it, but don't know for sure. I know when they aren't even fully bricked, but hung at the boot loader screen due to bad flash, etc, the battery doesn't charge. In fact, it will drain the battery pretty quickly.

I had a G3 hanging at boot and it discharged the battery (more from reflashing). I asked a friend to charge it for me to continue testing only to discover that if the phone was turned off and charger connected then after a few seconds the orange led would appear and battery charging normally :D

just my 2cents ;)

Excellent! Glad to hear it. I dunno why the thing won't charge while in boot loader mode. Engineering snafu I guess ;)
