Thanks to all. Another question: is possible to flash from mac?

Re: N9 with black screen
 

Is it possible to recover a dead N9 using Nokia Software Updater?

Re: N9 with black screen
 

At all: I've tried to connect my phone to power charger and the re-charge les don't blink. Is normal? If the phone is dead, what can I do to put in flash mode? Or simply I connect to USB and flash with flasher 3.1? Please help me. If anyone can contact me on fb, I'll appreciate it.

Do you have only a black screen or the refresh logo in center screen ?

Re: N9 with black screen
 

Only the black screen. There's any chance to revire them?

One thing that sort of helps is the standby screen clock. It tells you when the device is locked. Double tap, and the screen will go black, just swipe like you would regularly to unlock. You will still see nothing, but your N9 will be unlocked. Push and hold the power button until you feel the vibration. Wait 30 second for the shutdown cycle. Then power it back on. Hopefully it will restore your screen issues. My issues seem to be either rebooting the device then locking the screen, it will go blank. This is really frustrating, and is making it hard for me to want to continue and use the N9. I have to reboot the thing like 10 times to get the display driver to finally stay on once I unlock it. Does anyone have a fix or better work around for this? I'm kinda desparate here because I love the phone, but this annoyance could be a deal breaker for me.

this problem i think you disable the light sensor, I got this problem when I do this. After I restore the setting, everything become normal

Re: N9 with black screen
 

I did disable my ambient light sensor via the terminal and nano. But the ambient light sensor pisses me off big time. I'll restore the module back to "filter-brightness-als"

hope it works. Thanks for tip.

MUST work
Bec I experienced this problem too

Re: N9 with black screen
 

I revised the mce.ini file back to "filter-brightness als" rebooted, and seems to have fixed the problem. One bonus out of it was my brightness slider under the settings main menu is still in graduations of 20%. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it did the trick. Thanks for the help!

Re: N9 with black screen
 

I experienced this , so i do a reflash, but after do some tuning, I found that the black screen problem still exist, so I know is the filter brightness simple problem!

ok my phone won't flash. I've tried several times to connect with flasher but it don't recognize my phone. Probably because the phone don't starts. What can I do to revive the phone?

Re: N9 with black screen
 

when you start the flasher you only need to connect USB, it connects to your phone even without it being on. If it can't detect the phone, try using another usb port, different cable etc. My default USB port did not connect the phone either for flashing, another one did.

ok thanks Arpa! i'll try another pc because mine have some problems!

Re: N9 with black screen
 

I've changed usb port, cable and pc. Nothing works. n9 is not recognized. Other solutions?

Re: N9 with black screen
 

Helloooo...there's anyone???

Re: N9 with black screen
 

Does your phone connect in mass memory mode with your computer? Also is you phone working at all? I.e., does it turn on?

If the phone is completely dead then there isn't much that can be done.

But maybe you can try connecting the cable several times, different ports, different cables, different compters to make sure, and then take it to service...
