My n900 thinks that the keyboard is always open. This is making the phone not auto lock and not unlock when the keyboard is slide out. Also, the keyboard light is always lit up when the phone is unlocked.

I made a couple of tests before opening this thread. The xterm dmesg command reported that the sensor is working properly, detecting whenever the keyboard is opened or closed. The healthchecker app, however, states that the keyboard slider is always opened.

I've searched throughly and haven't found a solution for this particular issue. Maybe reflashing, but that would be my last stand. Any suggestions, please? :<

Am also in d same mess...u should count urself lucky dat it is not detected as close cuz u wont be able to use such apps as nitdroid since multiboot...am just living thru it like this till a miracle happens.

yeah for me it's always reported to be closed so no nitdroid or others for me till I get it fixed

something is constantly editing /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state

I stopped mce, edited the file with leafpad to closed but it instantly returned to open

i thought mce was responsible for this event, anyone know what else would be?
