that confirms that your sensor is malfunctioning. I'm sorry I don't have any spare. I too am dealing with the same problem but had to live with it. replacing it would be hard too you'll need a fine point soldering kit if you find a spare sensor. your best bet would be to buy a new n900 which is really cheap if buy it from someone who does not know the power of this mini computer

There is another possibility that the sensor is not so much mulfunctioning as it is just short-circuited by a piece of dirt, trapped moisture or some such. I would start by opening the phone and giving it a good clean inside. You will be surprised how much dirt you can find there. Just a gentle brush with an old soft toothbrush plus blow the dust off would do. Do not brush too hard or you may rub some components off.

yep, but I don't have the right toolkit for opening it, bro pichlo. And I'm not dexterous enough to open my phone. So today, I bring it to phone shop, hopefully tomorrow will be OK

However, I just tried this on my N900, and the OS immediately set it back to "open", so I don't know just how well this technique will work for you.
You'd probably have to stop MCE first... it will update things like the status of the keyboard, LEDs, etc...

hi, bro shawnjefferson. I've not yet tried that, but before I go to phone shop, orientation worked but intermittent.

So I conclude, this is HW problem, and supposedly today, I can get it back

Thanks for all your help everyone

Hmm. Nothing seems wrong to me here, though I am not really an expert.



That is, I think, the correct file for the PR1.3.1 root filesystem. If you want to reformat absolutely everything in the N900, you'll also need to flash the "EMMC" as well; there's a separate .bin file for that. If you haven't already seen it, there's a page with a lot of info about this process at:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#N900

(This is another area where I am probably not the right person to say anything, as I've only flashed an N900 once...)
I still have 2010 firmware, any idea where i can download the newest firmware for n900.
