Hello everyone,
I am having troubles with the fm transmitter on my n900, it just doesnt work, not even the beep in the background, the volume is up, I have the fm booster, I have installed the fm faker but it still doesnt work, it was working just fine one week ago.
Do you think it could be a HW malfunction? Please help.
Thank you.

Reflashing definitely would tell you if you have a hardware problem, but first you might just want to take slightly less drastic steps. Remove the FM Faker, whatever that is, and try again.
Also, what do you get from this command:
cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
That file is what determines the power level of the transmitter, and by default it is 113. I have a script to set mine to 118. Be careful to not fo above a certain level (I think it is 121).
Finally, what do you get from:
md5sum /lib/modules/2.68.28-omap1/fmtx-si4713.ko

That power level file hacking broke with PR1.3, but MohammadAG linked a modified kernel module for the transmitter which allowed the power level to be set again. I guess they decided to simply set the transmission level to max by default in CSSU, thanks for noticing that!

Yes power level is now 120 for most due to community fixes.
This makes FMBoost obsolete BTW.

Thanks a lot for the help, this is what I get

md5sum: can't open '/lib/modules/2.68.28-omap1/fmtx-si4713.ko': No such file or directory

/home/user # md5sum /lib/modules/2.68.28-omap1/fmtx-si4713.ko
md5sum: can't open '/lib/modules/2.68.28-omap1/fmtx-si4713.ko': No such file or directory
Code:
/home/user # md5sum /lib/modules/`uname -r`/fmtx-si4713.ko
