So I've had my N900 sitting in my desk for like 6 months. I couldn't get the display to work one day, it wouldn't vibrate at boot either, I replaced the ribbon cable but I still didn't get anything on screen. Today I pulled it out and plugged it into USB and my screen comes on to the little Nokia thing with a USB icon, but as soon as I actually try to boot it the screen goes blank. I flashed both the eMMC and the Fiasco image but I still get no picture after I boot. My TV-Out started working so. Any ideas guys?

Right after I posted this thread, the screen came in while booted into maemo for like a minute and then shut back off... what the ****.

I guess it is... I really don't want to shell out $50 for an LCD to see if that's what's faulty because it could be something else...
