It looks like a cable isn't hooked up right? So the screen isn't turning on? Or it's actually damaged.. So I would get a replacement A.S.A.P.

Might be a bit insulting... did you remove the film protecting the LCD?

lol :P
yeah, i removed it..actually i just used the tv out cable now..i see a line in the middle of the tv screen..seems to be a part of the default N900 background(black n blue) does not respond to any button pressing etc. i saw another guy in nokia forums having exactly the same thing, he also got today's shipment of N900..
seems to be h/w problem to me..
i m gonna ask for a replacement tomorrow..i hope i m luckier than today!

Ya, it probably is a hardware fault... sorry I had to mention the screen protector, a friend of a friend didn't remove it and complained that his screen was too dark hehe...

if you connect it to pc, windows shows tha classic menu for external disks..and then i see the files(backgrounds, folders etc of the N900).
i tried to use vanilla on it..nothing happened..in windows 7 32 bit, 64bit, xp 32, it doesnt see any compatible usb device to flash..(in the cmd)..then i tried vista 32..2 times..it started but i saw for the first time blue screen of death in vista!:smileytongue:
flashing does not work at all......
it might be the new shipment of nokia(all defective from scratch!)
any ideas?
thanks
