Can't you just flash the lastest firmware on it? I've flashed my device weekly for a couple months without issue.

Man i did that too, 2 times. It just doesn't seem to work for some reason. I explained the Screen problem in my first post. When the screen locks and i dont unlock it for over 20 seconds and then try to unlock it, it wont show the sliding bar. My keyboard wont even light up, its as if its dead. I tried calling when it was in that state and it shows that the phone is turned off. I actually hold the power button and nothing. Until i take the battery out. So this is just a big issue here

I meant with the flasher utility, over USB... anyway, hope this method works for you.

ok my phone has officially been screwed. Im going to have to send it to alabama. third time was not the charm. Screen started shaking again 3rd time. And the screen for unlocking after it goes black just stays black. I think im done with N900, once i get it back. Everyone, thanks for helping.

2. install Maemo-flasher on your pc. download here : http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php (choose the one you need for your computer)

3. download the right firmware for your device (for me it was "global" and the latest is of course pr1.1 - 51) here : http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php

4. copy the .bin file of your downloaded firmware to C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5\

5. launch cmd (can be done with execute)

6. type in : cd c:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5 and press enter

7. then type : flasher-3.5.exe -F "name of the downloaded firmware" -f -R and press enter
(looked like that for me "flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.51-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R" )

8. you should see now a new window where "Suitable USB device not found, waiting" is written

9. push "u" key on your n900 et plug it in via USB cable to your PC and keep "u" hold till the phone is recognized, its screen should be white with nokia blue logo
So!!!! those steps didn't work for you?

Yeah that's really hard to believe, unless there was some hardware failure at the same time. The "u" when off USB insert is a really low level bootstrap, not touched by flashing...
