4.) did u run any apps that may destroy NAND or EMMC because of too many writes... such software could be software that makes HEAVY swapping to NAND/EMMC?

5.) did u run any other OS on your N900?


i hope everything turns out alright with your N900
Okay, here are the answers.

1) I never overclocked it.

2) I had the battery removed for aprox. 7 hours (during a good night sleep).

3) I have a 32-bit windows XP machine which i used to reflash my device.

4) To be honest I don't know which apps might cause heavy swapping between NAND en EMMC.
The latest thing I put on it was the homescreen selector for 9 desktops and a couple of QB-widgets.
Last Friday afternoon I couldn't pickup a call because the whole device became extremely slow.
After missing that call i decided to restart my phone where only the shutting down part of the restart worked.

5) I had nitdroid and multiboot on it for a while.
I had put it on my device when nitdroid was at version 0.0.5-4-final.
I didn't use any autoinstaller.
Last time I used multiboot was weeks ago and by accident when i forgot to close the keyboard when rebooting.
Last time I used nitdroid was months ago.
At the time I used the first post on http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58890 to put nitdroid on my N900 and
I used the second post to upgrade it to 0.0.6.
After that i haven't used nitdroid again.

I hope everything turns out alright as well. I did notice that the shop I bought my N900 from is still selling it. So if my N900 can't be restored, there is still an option for a replacement.

Grtz,
