I waited more than 20 minutes but also it was pointless as there was no connection between the laptop and the n900.

can I find that driver anywhere to install it manually for windows 7 64bit ?

lol you should have mentioned your windows bit before
search in wiki , or google with update firmware talk.maemo.org
and there you will see the procedure to flash your device with window 64 bit

I updated to PR1.2 and PR1.3 previously and 64bit windows on this laptop were just fine.

I am now on another laptop with windows XP.
I have installed nokia usb cable driver, the flasher and I have the vanilla.bin image

I did the procedure to flash the device and windows is now showing the following:
C:\flash>flasher-3.5.exe -F vanilla.bin -f
flasher v2.5.2 (Sep 24 2009)

Image 'mmc', size 255947 kB
Version RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
USB device found found at bus bus-0, device address \\.\libusb0-0001--0x0421-0x0
105.
at this point I connected the cable to the USB port
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2101
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.003_PR_003
Booting device into flash mode.
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.


it is more than 10 minutes now and it's still on the same screen.
also, the n900 screen stays lit, writes NOKIA and shows the usb connectivity icon on top left.

all I did, was a restart of N900 as it was ON for many many days and then I couldn't switch it on again

There might be a chance of a faulty USB cable. At any case you might want to recharge your N900's battery so that you can flash it.

Regardless of whichever OS you choose to use, the basic troubleshooting that you must do is to check if the OS enumerated (identified) the device. Under windows I'm sure its under device manager, under linux its via USB. Whilst the device is in flashing mode you will see the device is being identified something like 'Nokia Mobile Phones E-51 (firmware update mode)'. Also if the flasher is waiting for a suitable device and you have plugged in N900 already but you don't see the device being enumerated. You might want to try other ports on the computer and see if you can get the device to be identified.

Also I wouldn't personally suggest plugging N900 onto a USB hub when you are flashing, especially non powered/heavily used USB hub.
