Hello fellow maemo users. My n900 decided to die on me when pr1.2 was released. I have tried to reflash it, change batteries etc but nothing works.
The screen's backlight lights up with two horizontal white lines in the middle. I can't see any nokia logos or anything similar but I managed to reflash it but still nothing. Tv out works and I can control the phone with the screen I just can't see a picture on the phone.
I suspect it is a hardware problem but I bought it from the US and currently living in Denmark. So I don't have warranty. I tried to open up the phone and reseat the ribbon cable that connects the screen and the other half. Still the same problem. I can order the LCD AM and the flex ribbon cable to see if it fixes it but not sure if I should? Thanks for the help. I hope this doesn't happen to any of you.
