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
Hi,

I do not have rootsh installed.

I will try another tv, to see if it was the tv, or the phone.

Many thanks.
