Hmm...
well then...
so the self same battery works fine in the 2nd n800...
as well you are using win xp [win 7 works fine too by the way]
sooo...
It is possible it is still the battery...
it may be that your n800 is getting persnickety about it...
The exact same issue has happened to me ...once ...with a particular n810 and a particular battery...a completely different battery solved that issue.
do you have a 2nd [fine] battery to test with?
if not then I would wait until getting a new battery.
before jumping head long into os management which may be unnecessary..
also is it the self same usb cable you are using on both n800's?
if so...that would rule out the cable...
the mini usb port STILL may be THE or A contributing problem on the n800 in question...
or it could be the "home" button not connecting under the pad...when pressed...[even still... *]
But...if you do not have the patience to wait for a 2nd battery...
it very well could be the os...

* Funny thing is..it powers on...but isn't given enough time to register the usb icon before shutting off...which still really points to a battery issue...

Never in my life have I found an os issue which PREVENTED me from properly reflashing the firmware...
there is something else going on here...
process of elimination should do the trick...
and ...
as well...
in part the charger used may be a possible additional culprit...
and so in a similar vein...I thought I should mention...
the best chargers I found which were official nokia chargers....
weren't the more rectangular charger...I found I had all kinds of weirdness the rare time with this model...

but with the rather the blockier more square chargers...
no problem ever...
