Maybe disabling the keyboard lock alltogether (I wasn't using it too often anyway) or a hardware fix?

nokia n900, water damage |
|
My N900 got wet in my pocket during a very heavy thunderstorm and now the slider is somewhat damaged.
The Main symptoms is, that the screen turns on for a glimpse and turns off again when sliding the keyboard out.
I did a little bit of debugging and found out that the slider is actually fine, but the keyboard lock (the thing on the right side ) is completely broken, so the kernel receives no events when I use it. The strange thing is, the keyboard_lock event fires when the slider is opened, which causes the symptom I described.
Do you have any idea how to fix that? Maybe disabling the keyboard lock alltogether (I wasn't using it too often anyway) or a hardware fix?
Best regards,
Flyser
