Frozen N900 - Help please

Hi folks,
I'm after some assistance with my new N900.
I tried last night to check my mobile was up to date using the Nokia Software Updater and it seemed to freeze with only a second to go. I left it for an hour just in case and came back to a darkened screed with the Nokia logo in the background  and the amber light flashing every so often.
I've changed the tried to repeat the update but either of my PCs don't seem to recognise that a mobile is connected via USB to the software updater and I've even changed the battery with a fully charged one from my 5800.
Is there anybody out there that can give simple to follow instructions as to how to get the mobile back to life. I've only had it less than a week and it was going so well up until last night. It's not locked to any UK network as I got it directly from Nokia as part of a testing project.
Thanks in advance
A 

have you installed any themes on it?
have you tried removing the battery for ten mins?
do you have trouble with wifi there is an issue with that now and nokia are aware and are ment to have a fix in the next update
this has been posted in wrong section im not familiar with the n900 but these are standard practices to start with here is the link for the  n900 section

    I have an ipod touch that continues to have a black screen with the white apple on it. It won't shut off and is completely frozen. This happened when we tried to restore it last night. Help please!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch scree frozen on zoomed mode despite restore  - help please

    my ipod touch screens have been frozen on zoomed mode . i did a restore thro itunes and even then it remains in a zoomed mode . screen is not responsive . any help please or is it a vist to the genius bar.

    Hello manickam,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See this article about how to disable the Zoom feature. Keep in mind that the controls or actions to navigate with your iPod will be slightly different due to this feature being on, which would explain why you are getting no response when touching the screen.

    MacBookAir is frozen.  Won't turn off.  Getting VERY warm.  Help, please!

    Hi Katharine,
    Hold down the power button until the screen turns black.
    Then wait about a minute then press the power button once to turn it back on.
    If you can't shut it down, if you're in the Walnut Creek I think you are, there's an Apple Store on South Main Street.
    You can make a reservation at their Genius Bar in advance >  Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

  • Macbook stuck on white screen with apple logo. help please

    I have a macbook (black model) and while I was surfing on internet it is frozen. so I shut it down and restarted. When I restarted, it stuck on white screen with gray apple logo and seems like booting but nothing happens.
    after that, I restarted again and put installation disc (leopard) without pressing any key and it opened normally. I backed up os with time machine but in one hour it is frozen again.
    restarted again but this time it did not boot normally. so i tried booting from cd with c key, it opened installation screen. I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.
    After all, I tried to erase and install system several times, but after language section when I click agree to terms and conditions, mac freeze again.
    So, I do not know what to do. Any help please?
    Note: I already tried PRM and Safe Mode. (after safe mode it took me to installation screen again and nothing changed.)
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Uptade: Also, opened system profiler and clicked on Serial-ATA, it seems loading but do not show any info. stucked again! help please

    HI,
    *"I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported."*
    You need to select "MacintoshHD 10.5.8 not "disc image" in order to run Disk Utility and Verify and if necessary, Repair the disk.
    That's why you are seeing this dialog.
    *are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.*
    Also, run the Apple Hardware Test.

    I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!

    There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
    If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

  • At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc..  How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

    Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this.  Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!

    @puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
    After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
    Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!

  • My iMac 24 can no longer be paired with the keyboard; it doesn't recognise any keyboard at boot up, even the one it is paired with. Can anyone help, please?

    Thank. Simon

    Brian - The batteries are fine and there has only every been one keyboard paired with it. We have tried my MacPro keyboard as well, and it will not even recognise that there is a discoverable keyboard nearby.
