Hi nazmi - good to see that the phone arrived but too bad you are again experiencing issues with a N900. I hope it is something that will be easy to fix.

As mentioned this was not my main phone, but a spare so I haven't tested it for a long time. That said I did test it for more than one full day before sending it to you and during that day everything was working fine.

Did the following tests
Phone calls in and out - ok
Camera - ok (lens slider needs some force to open)
gprs 3g - ok
wifi - ok
GPS - ok
USB port - storage ok
SD - recognized and able to write / read
accelerometer - ok
sound - ok
multimedia (mp3 tested) - ok
As expected eeprom battery was not working.

USB-port - charging ok - I was able to charge it until fully charged (so green LED) / using standard Nokia charger - AC-10



One software issue: starting the phone - "An unexpected reboot has occurred, your custom kernel settings were not loaded" message appeared.
Should be able to solve it by reflashing:

The firmware on the phone is still stock Maemo 5 - 20.2010-36-2 so no CSSU yet installed.


I think it worked fine when I tested it. Of course something could have happened during transport / changing LCD or you just have bad luck.
I don't really believe that a battery suddenly stops working at all though, especially because you received it fully charged and the phone was working fine for a while.

Now I think of it - there might be a small chance I mixed up two batteries after removing the sim card after testing it. But then you should have the battery from my main phone, and that was working fine too.
How is the battery from your broken N900?
