Is fixing my N900 hopeless?
 

My beloved N900 died. :(

I woke up one morning and the screen wouldn't turn on, but I was still able to SSH into it. A couple days later and it no longer responded to pings.

Now when I plug it in, the orange light blinks for a second, then (if the battery is in) will pulse as if it's charging until, eventually, it become a solid orange.

I can "turn it on" by holding the power button and watching the white light fade on, but there is no vibration. After waiting a minute, I can hold the power button again and watch the white light fade out.

Any ideas? Is it time to bury it? :confused:

Could be almost everything (battery, SW, HW).
Do you have possibility to charge battery outside of device? Or use another one? As I suspect from your LED behaviour.

But is does not explain screen behaviour which just may have been a one-time glitch. Nevertheless go for that batt test first.
