My phone fell from a file cabinet, when it lands, the back cover came out. When I try to turn back on my phone, the white light is on and I can feel a short vibrate like how it usually to be turn on.

HOWEVER, there is nothing on the screen. I can't see anything from the screen. Did I break the monitor? What should I do? I checked Nokia website and I can send it to Palco Cell Phone Repair to fix it for $80 or have Nokia fix it. Does anyone know how much Nokia will cost for repair? If you were me, what would you do? Should I just get a new phone? I only have this phone about 1.5 years. I like this phone..so I don't know what to do..please help!!!
Try plugging it into TV using the TV-out cable to see if it's just the display. If you get something on the TV, see if touching the screen can still control it (eg scroll through home screens, tap the top left for the app grid).

Sorry, I meant back of the screen. Inbetween the keyboard and screen there is a ribbon that connects the screen to the phone(keyboard). It may have come out with the impact, which means that the screen, mic, and touchscreen would not work but the phone powers on regardless. It's worth checking if you want to repair it yourself. You can see the ribbon here.

Apparently, the phone is starting and could be turn on but it couldn't function without touching the screen. Does anyone know if there is any key you can put to connect N900 to the computer? If I set a password, can I enter my password on my keyboard instead of the touchscreen? Can someone please try that out for me?? Thank you so much

You can't enter your password on your keyboard without using the touchscreen. If you're talking about lock screen and PIN screen, those do require touching the actual screen to enter the key.

I have already tried this before just as a pure experiment.

Is there a way I can connect my phone to my computer as Mass Storage without using the touch screen?

no you can't, you still need the touch screen functionality.

Does that mean there is no way for me to access the information in my phone without the touch screen??

no you can still access the information from your device without using the touchscreen but you'll be severely handicapped to console only via Ctrl+Shift+X to bring up X Terminal and from there you might want to dump stuff from your device to your microSD card (if you have one and its inserted).

There's other ways such as dumping the stuff across wireless (albeit very slow)

Thanks so much for answering my questions. I don't understand. How can I access X Terminal on my phone when I can't turn it on?? Unfortunately, I thought using the internal memory is good enough so I have all my stuffs in the phone. Right now, I am trying whatever method I could pull stuffs out from my phone...

You press the power key button on the N900 :p assuming you had your N900 turned on by your previous posts. Without N900 being turned on, no there's no other way of obtaining the data from within the N900.
