Hey all,

Taking a bit of a longshot here...I was in the garage yesterday, walking back into the house, and my N900 fell on the concrete garage floor. It hit flat, the back panel and the battery flew in opposite directions. I picked up everything, and put it back together, and it powered up immediately (I know it powered up, because I heard the startup music), but did the screen was black. No life.

So I know that it is probably a forlorn hope, because N900 users at this point fall into two categories, I think. Either they are still using them, or they have gotten rid of them. But I'm wondering if someone may have either a dead one or an LCD panel from one that is still in decent shape. I looked on ebay, and the one that they had looked a bit beat up.

If you do still have your n900 but have moved past it, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks,
--vr

Not helpful to resolve the screen.
But if you have one try the AV out cable to make sure the rest of the device is ok.
Is it definitely dead or is it just dim (no blacklight)?
