Hello,

Today after being plugged into my pc the display of my N900 went black. Tried rebooting the thing a dozen of times and trying to wank the keyboard locker back and forth with no results. It turns on and plays the nokia tune and everything. I got it to display the Nokia logo a few times so I guess the display itself isn't broken.

Also I have to press to power button almost a dozen of times until it boots. The device still responses to touch.

The biggest issue here I think is that it won't connect to my computer via USB. It says "Connected in non-compatible mode". This means I'm unable to flash it. Doesn't work even though the phone is turned off

Tried searching the forum with no results. Anyone got any hints? I'm getting desperate here

If you want to flash it (and from what you are describing it looks like you'll have to), you need to shut down your N900, disconnect it from the USB, hold the U key on your keyboard, and holding the key to connect it to the USB port on a computer where you intend to run flasher... And don't worry what Windows will say, it's important for the flasher to recognize it...

I recommend you look over all of them, to give you a good understanding of the procedure.

Good luck.
If that looks familiar, I've posted it in several threads already.
