Hey there! I just got my first Maemo device, a Nokia N900, second hand. The phone seems nice enough, and I've installed NITDroid on it. Just one tiny thing bugs me. The accelerometer doesn't work, in NITDroid OR Maemo. It's probably not a software issue, cause I've reflashed the eMMC thrice and the firmware even more times in the past two weeks. Help?

How I envy you. I found it annoying that my screen kept turning around until I installed CSSU and locked it in landscape.
It seems you've answered your own question. Does not look like a SW problem indeed. I doubt there is a way to fix it. Maybe a Nokia care centre, but even that is a very small chance.

@ N900: Battery low. N950: torx 4 re-used once and fine; SIM port torn apart

There are articles about N900 accelerometer and N900 Harware Hacking.
Another person had a similar problem about two years ago. This thread (mostly the first post) should have complete list of all possible ways to test accelerometer with software.
Also, it might be that you need to enter some commands in X-Term to make accelerometer work: The case of the missing N900 accelerometer and Internal accelerometer device has disappeared.
Best wishes.

Unless there is a permanent hardware failure, accelerometer will work in Android. I just don't know how to test accelerometer with Android software.

root
rmmod lis302dl
modprobe lis302dl
apt-get install rotatedaemon
rotatedaemon
Which resulted in this:
# rotatedaemon
Cannot open accelerometer FC
Aborted
Also, I installed Bounce Evolution from the Ovi Store, but the ball (Bounce?) wouldn't move.

I don't know... It's suggested somewhere that taking out the battery for two-three minutes cures the problem... Would this problem persist after a re-flash?..Code:cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-001d/coord
Best wishes.
# cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-001d/coord
cat: can't open ' /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-001d/coord': No such file or directory
Basically, it can't find the "coord" file or folder. Using ls on the "3-001d" folder gives this:
# ls /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-001d/
bus name subsystem
modalias power uevent
Pulling the battery for two minutes and forty-six seconds didn't seem to help.

1. bus is a directory
2. name shows:
me
lis302dl
3. subsystem is a directory
4. modalias shows:
i2c:lis302dl
5. power is a directory
6. uevent shows:
PHYSDEVBUS=i2c
MODALIAS=i2c:lis302dl
That's 'bout it.
PS: If the accelerometer is screwed, any place I can have it fixed in New Delhi?
