wow ..
messed up man.
yeah ...
pretty much all nxx0's have back cover "not on" or "not secure" detection sumthin'-sumthin'....
meaning it doesn't like to boot if the cover is not in place.
Lil' magnet I think it is..(visible) in the kickstand (specifically on the n900) ...

If my mem. serves....
I could be confusing the magnet with some other purpose....
but I seem to recall that was the purpose of it...

pay no attention ...
pichlo is correct in the purpose of the magnets on the nxx0's...
I recall that now...
