The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. Dropped N900 face down. Olny a small drop, like 1ft, and the LCD stopped woorking. I could hear the *tap* sound of the touchscreen but no video even on scart. Ive sent it off on warranty and will hopefuly get it back soon.

The one thing I do wish is that there where some sort of app that could be used to back up pictures, contacts, messages etc to mmc using a kb shorcut if an incident like this where to happen again to anyone else.

I know poopping the cable baack in is an faster option but for those of us who dont want to open and potential void our warranty?
