...and I found out the problem I actually have is the display ribbon cable. The funny thing is - the display is fine, but proximity sensor doesn't work any more. I reopened and fiddled a little, then it started working again. But again, I had little sparks coming from the damaged display cable, which is not good.

Very odd that the display still works... After doing forum search I'll get a new prox sensor and see how things go.

How did you narrow it down to the sensor? I don't believe that that's what killed my long-dead N9 -- I think it was a different hardware fault -- but I've never been able to rule it out definitively.

Well, whether prox nor light sensor work anymore - and they did before - but the initial problem I had, the device not turning on, definitively lied in the display cable because that's the one that threw sparks. I fiddled around with both cables and now I assume this has not necessarily to do with the sensor function - especially after reading the sensor is rather "sensitive".

I have been "donated" a display to do further testing - thanks to Heik - I'll report as I get along.

Mine died just a few minutes ago too. Suddenly shows 4% battery and turns off. At the moment it is not possible to turn it on again.

Code:
 sudo flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013 --flash-only=kernel -f -R

flasher 3.12.1 (Oct  5 2011) Harmattan
WARNING: This tool is intended for professional use only. Using it may result
in permanently damaging your device or losing the warranty.

Picked ape-algo from a FIASCO file
Suitable USB interface (bootloader/phonet) not found, waiting...
connecting the N9 to usb = no sign of life.
(btw I use and love it since Nov 2011)

May be I should buy a new battery and try again - what do you think? I need some inspiration and motivation.

What about connecting to wall charger?

Or what happens if you have connected to PC with flasher started. And then press power button for about 8-9 seconds?

It's still alive. A hour later I looked at it in a dark room and could see that the black screen wasn't off, could see a very low elumination. After pressing the on off button a long time, the display turns off. I'm sure, I did this before...
I could start the phone again. It shows 42% battery but I put it to the charger over night. May be the 4% bug came along, as I received a call.

Possibly?

Maybe modem took to much current so shutdown was iniated but not fully done?
Either a one time quirk. Or if this happens more often I would guess on a f'at/old/exhausted batt.

Yes, battery is rather old. Profilematic is good for an 'adult' battery. On next drop I will change it.
