Re: 900 won't boot: gives bright LED/"Nokia" screen for 30 seconds, then quits

pichlo gave you the correct link.
Read, understand, follow.

The flasher is not a one-click GUI but installs as a DOS console tool. You need to start the ('flasher') console and type in the...

Re: 900 won't boot: gives bright LED/"Nokia" screen for 30 seconds, then quits

It sounds like tfj is trying to start the flasher by double-clicking in some kind of GUI. That won't work,tfj. You need to start it from the command line, typing some parameters. Have you followed...

Re: 900 won't boot: gives bright LED/"Nokia" screen for 30 seconds, then quits

You are really sure it is not the battery? If you are I would probably have tried to flash my device as well with these (vague) problems.

Your post does seem to miss some information to give you...

Sounds like your charger does not give enough power for the phone and battery is empty/damaged. Do you have the original 1,2A Nokia charger?

Re: N900 partition-table problem: table has vanished, 'No space left on (not-full) device'

And you know that... how?



That would be because MyDocs is another partition.



That strongly indicates an inode problem. Your files take only 95%, but your files + metadata take the whole...

Yeah go ahead if you like to break your device completely.

Re: N900 shuts down prematurely, saying 'battery dead'

As peterleinchen says. That it happens whilst actively using the phone is definitely not a coincidence. The battery's internal resistance increases as it ages. The voltage on the battery's terminals...

This is definitely behaviour/proof of old used battery.
Just get a new one.

And the "flash drive" is not transplantable I'm afraid. It's not on a socket, but soldered in the system board.

Re: Give n900 screen a yellowish tint

There definitely is a film on the surface (because mine is almost completely peeled off already), I assume it's some sort of scratch protection - because the areas without the film scratch easily.

The outer layer is integrated (as in - you won't disassemble it without breaking it beyond repair) with digitizer, aka "touch layer".

The only advice is to record the sound at the volume you want to have it played back on the N900.

Re: n900 loud alarm sound

aplay plays an audio file at 100% volume, so just use aplay to play an audio file that's recorded as loud as you want. Be aware that you can damage the speakers.
