Hi,

I had my N900 in my pocket along with my credit card. My credit card managed to sneak in between the screen and the base and now the ribbon is broken. I've had this phone for about 6 months now and I am going nuts over this. What can I do? Is there anyway to fix this?

buy a new ribbon and replace yourself if you think you can, if not stop by a mobile tech.

You can purchase replacement screens on ebay.

I dont know if you could actually replace the ribbon, the mounting doesnt look very hacker friendly, also finding appropriate connectors is always difficult especially with the smaller pitch solutions.

Can you post pictures of your broken connector?

You'll need a whole new flex assembly. Ooh, the N900's slider mechanism is a ***** to disassemble.

Offtopic but useful tip: If your N900's USB connector starts to loosen, immediately take it to a Nokia service center. They're instructed in the Level 3+4 Service Manual to replace the USB connector part should the connection be wonky.

This is terrible!
This should be a fear for everyone!
I ripped a ribbon on my old (don't judge me!) iPhone... Terrible to fix and even harder to find [for a good price].

I've been using a blackberry for the past week or so and it is so garbage! Only good thing about it is bbm...

I'm going to order one on ebay and hopefully it arrives fast. I need my N900 back!
