what country are u from? b/c in some country's firmware it is disabled.
only way round it if your one of the disabled locations is flash n900 with global image version.

Well yes Flash back to your older Firmware which ever one was installed first on your phone , If your phone has a damaged Hardware , if the cause being is that you overclocked your device or some other accidental damage , you're out of luck , probably it is your responsibility to safeguard your phone from such problems .

because it is internal component and nokias policy is that it comes with the firmware only.

I have flashed a few times and everything went fine. If your not sure how to do it? Don't just take it to a nokia care centre.

The way I look at flashing is .. You buy a pc/laptop and you get a Recovery disc in the box, so if you screw up your system you just stick in the disc and away you go... A clean pc..

Its the same with the N900 IMO..
