Have you tried using the Ovi Suite or, (if deadscreen) projecting it to a TV using the Nokia Video Connectivity Cable (CA-75U)?

Yep, just use video out to a tv, and you'll be fine.

I think the OP can see the screen ok, but not select items by touch.

You can open a Terminal with Ctrl-Backspace, you can use the command line to copy important files to an SD card. From the command line you can also initiate a network connection, you can install an ssh-server (or any other program) which will allow you remote access, it should be possible to enable mass-storage mode from the command line (but it didn't work when I tried it), I'd imagine it would also be possible to enable the PC suite mode, but I haven't worked that out yet. So the simplest thing to do is just use the "cp" command to just copy anything that is important to you to an SD card.

http://www.nokian900applications.com...on-nokia-n900/ apparently explains how to get OpenSSH working on your N900, and you can use any SFTP-capable application then to copy your files from there.
Good luck!

my n900 screen is not responding to touch as all. I need to send for repair, however I cannot press the PC suite pop-up on the phone when I cannot to Ovi Suite for full backup.
Can someone advise how I perform a full backup of my phone with a dead screen?
thanks
