Chaps,

I'm looking for some advice and hopefully you can help me out!

A very tiny amount of seawater entered my N900 through the volume key and possibly the power key last weekend.
The phone was professionally cleaned after that, and is now working fine with the exception of the WiFi and GPRS/3G connectivity.

What happens now is that whenever a 'Select Connection' dialog opens up, it searches for a data stream for a while, then, after quite some time (maybe a minute or so) i get a 'no connection available' and a greyed out option for the GPRS/3G stream.

The funny symptom is that after i close the failed 'Select Connection', some, but not all, of my desktop applications freeze - changing desktops and contacts work, but the 'Conversations' and 'Fm Transmitter' widgets stop working.

So I wonder if (1) my WiFi module is dead (but is GPRS data integrated w/ it?) and (2) if this could be some sort of software fault or file corruption - i had to remove the battery while the phone was on when it got wet.

Could you guys help me out diagnose this issue?

Thanks and all the best,

P.S.: how do I access the .deb files for the maemo repositories? I'd like to install some health check utilities but have been unable to so far.
