I've no idea, but your other option is taking it in for repair, which will take a lot longer than just reflashing the eMMC, so it's worth a shot.

That's the output from "top". I prefer htop myself, which is available from the maemo.org repository.

The backup application should back up contacts & conversations. Make sure you back up to SD card though, or copy the backup to your PC.

When you run the flasher command, one of the command-line switches you use is "-R" which tells it to reboot after flashing. If you're doing the eMMC then you first reflash the firmware without adding the "-R", then reflash the eMMC with the "-R".

In reality, this doesn't matter at this stage - it's only after PR1.2 that it becomes critical to flash it in that order without a reboot.

Just copy it back after flashing. You may need to run a backup first, to get the N900 to create all the necessary directories. I assume you copied the whole backup directory?

Yep, that looks correct.
