Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines - Page 119 - maemo.org

Guys, do you know of a trusted technician around QC who can repair an N900? My screen suddenly stopped working. Digitizer and backlight still works though. Last night I noticed that the screen is not completely occupied by what is being displayed (there were black borders in the sides). A restart fixed that but this morning the screen started flickering and then it went all black.
I connected it to a TV so I know that it's still working except for the screen.
I hope you guys can help. BTW is symbianize down?

EDIT: Got it repaired at Cellway SM North EDSA. Luckily they have a flex assembly in stock (last one). They replaced the whole slider mechanism. The bad thing is the screw located at the top right (when looked from behind) got worn out in the process so they had to remove the screw head by drilling it out similar to sixwheeledbeast's experience here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...71#post1324171

Anyway I'm happy that it's fixed even with one headless screw stuck at the back. I paid PhP1,500.00 (US$36.48) for the parts and service VS Nokia Care's quote of PhP2,418.72 (US$58.82 at 41.12 exchrate).

I usually do it myself. I think there was a tutorial / manual in pdf file where it will give you a detailed instruction on how to replace parts of your n900.

How hard is it to find replacements parts here in the PH? My keyboard keys are falling apart (I superglued them back). I'm not taking any chances coz what if I lose the keys outside.

also thinking of buying an extra N900 in case my current one breaks down in the future, hopefully I can still find a new one by that time.

also random screenshots
