The strange behavior continues......
Since my last post there has been NO sign of the screen coming back on but things like espeaktime work and I can still feel that the touch screen is working.
So....I figure lets do a backup before doing anything else so I hook up to a PC and fire up PC Suite......As soon as I do that the screen wakes up as if it is in flash mode (no backlight-Nokia on blank background, and a popup on the PC screen shows flash mode)....
Now PC suite stops and nothing else happens. I disconnect then reconnect the 900....it connects normally, the screen came on. I did a back up and it is back to normal....for now!
If the board has a problem (and plugging it and out wiggled something) then I would think I could upset things but wiggling the connector, squeezing or otherwise flexing the device should do something but I have not been able trigger anything....
I'll post more when I can but I have a suspicion that the problem is software (device driver, firmware ... there must be some kind of boot ROM or something, that got corrupt or something)...that's why I planned to reflash) IT is either that or is something on the board...hopefully it will either not happen again or it will degrade faster so I can determine what solution to try.
