Not fully successful though. Reflash works reliably (which is good) but the device is not back to life and without a serial cable it is hard to tell what is happening (something _is_ happening because power drain varies over time -- tens of seconds -- perhaps because the device is trying to reboot or something).
Now that you mention the Amazon-approved battery, it might well be that
the system refuses to run because it is not detecting a good battery,
but to fix this i need some more work -- my LiIon battery now is very low
(down to 2.69, it even shut off at some point). If i let it charging, the light
stays on only for some 30 minutes, then goes off and apparently the
battery restarts discharging. This makes the charging process very
tedious, as i need to monitor what goes on and periodically disconnect
and reconnect the cable.
