    Never mind.
    Fixed.

    As best I could figure this error code is something to do with the battery. So anyhow when I looked one of the battery contact pins looked a bit bent so I straightened it with a knife and everything is operational again :D

    Great phone, I dropped mine off a ladder from 9 foot and it landed on a hard floor with no damage other than the battery falling out.
    Im almost sorry to upgrade it to the S3 later this week preordered with Three but now getting remorse:)

    Oddly enough, I saw those lights today as well.

    I've been messing with custom ROMs all day. Stuck on a Sense RunnyMede one, and now I've an ICS one on called BCM or something.

    Anyway, I was messing with another one earlier and it stopped booting. I was actually charging it at the time. When I pulled the battery out, the lights started flashing orange then green. It stopped once I put the battery back in, so obviously those lights mean that its not detecting a battery.

    Yeah this is what i gathered from various internet searches. Apparently its not just this device - apparently it has meant the same thing in laptops for years
