Same as mine. Your FMTX driver seems to be OK. Over to malfunctioning or someone else who understands the topic better than I do. But be prepared to have to reflash as Purple suggested.

thank you, I hope I dont need to reflash since my n900 doesnt have a USB port attached to it since it fell off, I will keep my fingers crossed

Like pichlo said, the driver module doesn't seem to be the problem. I write it down to the FM Faker thing you mentioned in your first post. It must be interfering with the mechanism. What does it do, and did you manage to uninstall it properly? If I remember correctly, this is to allow for the extended frequency range, right?

Also, for the future, you might want to do a system backup that you can restore when things go bad, especially since you don't have a working USB port.
