I do have one issue with the 3.5mm jack not working but hopefully have a few options on what I will need to do to get it sorted.

Im new to all this root access and command line stuff and can see that if you have the know how this device is a treasure box.
One quistion could someone point me in the right direction for flashing the device, Im running windows 7 64bit.

Cheers.

read previous pages for two MODs ive done myself...
ive flashed my n900 once, using XP..

To flash directly from the XP/Vista/Windows 7 command line, follow these steps:

* Download and install the latest version of Flasher (e.g. maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe)
* Download the latest firmware (.bin) file and save to %ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5\ (default installation path of Flasher) or to the custom path of your choice.
* Fully charge the battery.
* Unplug charger and switch off the device.
* Open the Command Prompt by going to Start then Run (or Windows Logo key + R) and type cmd then press Enter.
* Change directory to the flasher's program path (TIP: Use the TAB key to auto-complete the commands and file-names)

cd "%ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5"

* Connect the USB cable while pressing 'u' key on the N900 (details on the wiki)
* Run the following command:

flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Remember to replace the RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin with the firmware you wish to update with.

The update will take about 3 minutes after which the N900 will reboot and display the Welcome screen with Regional settings.
