Hello

I just have some problems with my n900. Basically the screen goes black after 10secs but the touchscreen is still working and I have to lock-unlock to use the phone.

How can I fix this?
Is it the battery?
or the phone?
or an app?
(phone went black...)
the phone is oc but I never flashed it yet in 3 years since I have it.

Yep I'd say Display Settings.
Backlight timeout and Lock screen automatically.

Open and check the cables or magnets. Screen settings does not sound too plausible anyway as blanking woulf also turn off the touch sensor. So you situation - touch working but screen not - suggests a hardware fault. Especially if it used to work but suddenly stopped.
