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? :<
