Not sure if this would work, but worth giving it a try ...
See if the phone is alive again after following the initial steps from this blog

you should go to download sections of this page above. look down and right you should see n 900 click there. enter your IMEI (you can find it under the battery). Then accept trhe agreement download the latest vanilia image and the latest fiasco-os image then install flasher
you can reflash your phone following this wiki http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware . This will erase all your data so you should use the back up app to back up your settings contacts emails and copy the back up of the device to a pc. (ph the phone is not working you cant my bad)

No, it won't brick. You've lost your personal files, but nothing on the phone's internal memory(settings, apps, email and SMS) - The RootFS and OptFS are not accessable via USB.

To all the learned folk out there.
I have a N900 & I have a 32gb sd card installed as well.
My disastrous mistake was instead of formatting my 32g/b SD card which was telling me it was corrupt.
I mistakenly reformatted the phone SDC to fat 32 instead of reformatting SDD my 32g/b sd card.
What are my options??
If I turn the phone off or my battery goes flat I will have a brick I am sure.
Can anybody help please?
