Oh yeah.
I'd like n easy way to fix this.
I have three or four of 'em laying around.
Spring trick is not for long.
Reballing via household oven is not an option.
Bringing to a professional is out of financial scope.
What else?

I am sorry for you :sad:

I had to bite this bullet beginning of this year and switched to SFOS completely. First with JollaC and now un-satisfied with XA2.

Also memory wearing off can be greatly reduced by swapping on microSD, not mentioning booting from card. Keep your swap and media on memory card and probalby the internal memory will go off all together with CPU

A good last hike through the hills...with a light backpack with a bit of food ...a quick exit plan (gun or pills or something)...some comfy clothes...and time to spend a few good summer days and nights hiking ...enjoying the sunsets and views ...
and of course...
take just one n900 with extra batteries for some music and reading at night..
and leave the rest of my nxx0's for others to continue to enjoy
Never know when one's time may come...
May come quick ...may have time to do something before it is time to go..
But no matter what...
Just in case...
ALWAYS make sure your spare batteries are charged up..
Music playing and FM Broadcasting your final message to the world on other ones over an external also battery powered antenna. You won't hear the warnings due to the music and they won't hear the message due to nobody listens to FM anymore in that future day, but that's part of the "it's time to go" decision of course.
Or maybe just, make sure that FOOD part is up to date to get you sailing smoothly and painless into lasting that other 50 more years to die die overjoyed due to witnessing a smogless sunset on a mountain top... would make undersigned more happy in fact.
As for telephone functions disabled.. well I have one patient here too. Not that I have used the telephone recently.

There are cheap reballing or Infrared heating stations from chinese sellers, but even the cheap ones cost likely at least as much as having the phone professionally repaired.
Putting paper on the top to press the sim-card down does not work and the SIM card works fine, so I think the gsm-module has given up. Re-flowing it seems to be only working fix, but that means getting it professionally repaired. The spring trick is not worht a try IMHO.
Also, my last original Nokia battery is bit tired, so I went and bought a third party battery. It performs even worse than the 3 year old Nokia original after daily use. So I think it is time to switch. Xperia 10 is now supported by Jolla and flashing procedure is quite simple, except that I have run into an issue as my l laptop has only USB-3 or -C ports and fastboot refuces to work. None of the workarounds (temporarily disable USB-3 from the chipset or use USB-2 hubs in between the laptot and phone). I need to try to download the latest fastboot toolset and try it instead of distribution's version.

Since some days, my n900 mixes all lines from display when I type.
For example, the time is in the middle of the screen, but just half mixed with other lines.
Tried to replace the display (the whole sliding part) with no success. Seems to be on the motherboard. Bad contact somewhere.
Life span? shock?
I have few hope but if someone faced to that once, I'd like to know the trick.
(Got another n900 on ebay for parts these days, opened it, the touchscreen flat cable was just out of the plug
)
My Pro1(order) will have to wait !

Bite the bullet?
Never. Ever. Ever.
Switch?
Never .Ever . Ever.
Take up a completely different device with different options sure...
But what you said smacks of "having to settle with something one doesn't want ..."
And that is never good.
Nope. Nope . Nope.
Rather poke my retinas out and use a rotary phone.

I have now Jolla as my work phone and Xperia 10 running two private numbers. As my work seems to require Android or iOS because some of the applications I'm expected to have, I might switch sims around the phones and put work sim into Xperia X which I haven't re-flashed yet.
Xperia 10 with Sailfish seems to work, kinda, and I like the large touch keyboard when turned to landscape. There are things I don't like too, but I guess it is bit early to draw final conclusions.
