If the phone boots normaly you could install x11vnc, you will need to be root to do this, so I hope you have rootsh installed, if you don't this won't work. Open the terminal with Ctrl + Shift + X Type: sudo gainroot (you must have rootsh installed) Next type: apt-get install x11vnc (I don't know if this requires prompts) after it has installed type: x11vnc Using a VNC viewer from a PC you should be able to VNC into your phone, from there you should be able to access screen functions. You may find it useful to do the same operations with someone elses N900 if you know someone with another one. If you don't have rootsh installed then you might be stuffed. It is strange TV out doesn't work, have you tried other TVs not all TVs are the same. Best of luck
