I talked to nokia support and they told me to turn the phone off, hold down "U" on the keyboard and then put the USB cable in the phone.
"NOKIA" came up on the screen, though the screen is dark, and nothing more has happened for 20 minutes.
Please help!
here's the full set of instructions

Hello!
I have a problem.
i have a Nokia N900 since 6 months.
After installing some apps yesterday all my previously installed apps have dissapeard from the menu. If i try to click on any of the short cuts i had on the desktop they wont open. The same with(i don't know if this is the right word cause i have my N900 in Swedish) file manager, program manager or X-terminal. They wont open. I tried to update the phone, but OVI suite wont work either.
I thought i made a backup, but i cant find it.

Do flash your EMMC also since your having problems with official apps too..

Thanks for the fast reply´s.
I think this is to hard for me... I dont really understand all the things wrote in these instructions. Is it really the only way to make my dear phone work again?

Before doing any of that open x-term and go
If you are unable to change to that directory because it does not exist or if with the ls -a command you get no returns then you do not have a backup, unless you backed up using Ovi and sync'ed with your PC. If you are not bothered about your apps then re-flash the whole thing, eMMC first then fiasco (both images available from the Nokia Tablets Dev site, linked in the Wiki), HOWEVER I would suggest that you use the N900's own backup function / app first, so that you have all your contacts, settings and calendar backed up at least to restore from.
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/backups ls -a

have a look at this set of instructions
http://mynokiablog.com/2010/01/03/ho...et-nokia-n900/
but remember to download the image for PR1.3 and not PR1.2, you will also need to change the command in the flasher aswell
