Yes, I would now bet on a defective cable between the motherboard and the screen, at least that is better than death GPU

It might be the flex cable. There are many out there for sell starting from like 4€ (6$?)
I once replaced a flex cable on a Nokia 5200, nothing hard, but of course N900 is more complex.

Thanks Peter - I had seen that thread but it looked like a slightly different problem to be honest - or maybe worse. But then my machine is gettining worse all the time.
It started with a slight flicker, then one day later it got worse.
The picture was taken during the worst time.

My phone is in the picture.
As said in the other thread, no idea of the cause.
The problem stopped 3 days later.
No problem since august.
I keep my fingers crossed.

Only joking... because... I've found the problem! Many thanks to _vi who sent me his spare screen - I isolated the problem to the screen cable - so to ebay... and now I've got the phone fully working again. Shame one of the tiny screen screws sheared when I was trying to remove it. MIght try and drill it out and fit another - but I think it's ok as it is.
Thanks to all who piped in with suggestions. And to those who've had, or have similar... might be worth just replacing that cable - It's pretty cheap on ebay (I paid about £20) considering it's quite complex and includes the camera, light sensor (which does not appear to do anything on this one (which is a good thing...
but could just be my bodgeing the cover back on) led, and whatever else.

Any thoughts? (I'm not familiar on how the composite output is generated, but I guess it's "post DSP"?)
