Try this very simple fix. It won't work for everyone, but it un-bricked my N900 when I had similar problems:

Thanks for your help, eiffel....just wish you had posted this an hour earlier.....

I just carefully packed up the N900 to ship back to seller to check out.....he said that if they can't fix it, they'll send me another one....

UPDATE

opened up package and tried that method....unfortunately, did not work.....

:(

No sorry needed, ibrakalifa...thanks for your help!

So, I just tried doing the cold flashing technique, but it did not work for me....in the second step

Code:

flasher-3.5 -c -h RX-51:2101 -2 2nd.bin-RX-51\:2101\,2102\,2103 -s secondary.bin-RX-51\:2101\,2102\,2103 -S usb
another window opened up very quickly, but then disappeared...
in the main cmd window, it just returned to a new prompt line.....

:(

If you mean to put in another battery, unfortunately, I don't have another battery, just the one the N900 came with....

I'm thinking that since I bought what is supposed to be a 'new, sealed, in the box' N900, I should take the seller up on his offer to send it back to him to either fix or replace.....

Thanks again for all your help....replacing battery sounds like a good idea....I think I'll let seller do that for me....

Going to ship N900 to seller now.....

Will report back after I get response after he checks out the N900....
