Comment(by garycmartin):

 OK. Damn. It now looks like I have a os690 B4 brick :-( I tried to quickly
 copy-nand back to build 656 in the hopes that it would allow the xo to
 charge again, but before I could get get to that point the laptop powered
 off and will now not power back on (brief LED flash then off again). Can
 someone recommend how to power the laptop through some other means (I'm
 handy with a screwdriver and DVM)?

 Quite surprised that the xo (B4) is able to disable power input, and even
 more so that you can't run an xo with no battery in place and just run it
 temporally off the mains when there is a battery problem. Seems quite an
 omission given that batteries quality can vary so much, unless I'm missing
 something obvious. Any suggestions much appreciated (help)!
