My N900's screen will not display any colour but oddly seems to still work as a touch pad. It is like the backlight of the display has died.

If I hold my device at a certain angle, I can faintly see etchings of the screen contents on the dispaly. I was able (by memory) to enter the device lock code upon a hard boot of this device. I can just make out the Nokia handshake.

So it seems the touch screen works, and stuff is being drawn to the display. However, there is no colour or brightness to my display.

Is there any options outside of sending this device to Alabama to get fixed?
