**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 26 02:59:57 2019 Oct 26 04:51:00 The Nokia N900 with malfunctioning display... I have incidentally happened to have a spare main flex cable in my drawer, and therefore was able to do a repair. Oct 26 04:51:54 HX-LF, manufacturer of this flex cable, apparently - it's likely not an original Nokia cable. White main connector, and such. Still, seems to work great. Oct 26 04:52:46 Now, question is: to install rootsh, update and upgrade, and specify repositories properly as well. Oct 26 05:54:15 so i was right, hw failure, not software Oct 26 11:07:22 I said it would be main flex, sounded very similar to when my main flex went weird Oct 26 19:44:40 one of my flexes recently got guillotined in my pocket by a business card [*] Oct 26 19:45:22 ouch! Oct 26 19:46:21 :/ Oct 26 20:08:57 how is that even possible? The biz card worked it's way between the top and bottom? Oct 26 20:16:21 yes, it's very possible. there was even an N900 pouch/case which took advantage of the space between the two halves Oct 26 20:17:21 If that's the way. so sucky! Oct 26 20:17:41 yup, it was in between when I took the phone out of the pocket Oct 26 20:18:04 dam :( Oct 26 20:18:22 Hope you already got a replacement Oct 26 20:19:20 I had enough spares thankfully :) and received a few more main flexes recently, ordered right after that happened Oct 26 20:30:19 well great to hear. The community need folks like yourself to have access to working useable n900 :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Oct 27 02:59:57 2019
