xmnHey maemo fam, I could use some help. My n900 thinks that the keyboard is always open. I've not been able to track down why this is happening. But even on reboot it thinks it's open and activates bootmenu. Any insight would be great. thx22:50
KotCzarnymagnet fell off?22:52
xmnthank for chiming in KotCzarny22:53
xmnthe battery on the back cover?22:53
xmnI thought that only effect the camera and the sd card22:54
KotCzarnyi might be wrong, just wild guess22:54
xmnI can certainly try a stronger magnet :D. But I did fix that previously with a new glue on magnet.22:55

sicelomagnet on back cover is for SD card detection23:03
siceloi forgot how slide is detected, but i also seem to think it's magnet, but unsure where that one is located23:04
sixwheeledbeastwhile true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state; done23:04
xmnsixwheeledbeast: Thx for this info. will try it now23:15
xmnI do have a 2nd n900 disassembled, so will look at that for any mangets23:16
sicelothe magnet is in the screen housing, evidently, and the sensor is somewhere around top row of keyboard. i don't see how this magnet can get lost23:25
xmnhmm, yeah strange. I had not drop it in awhile. And it just seem to happen.23:34
xmnbut very useful info sicelo23:34
xmnsixwheeledbeast: ran your cmd = open23:44
xmnbut does the fact that I have to type on the open keyboard matter for this cmd?23:44
xmncan't remember how to to press enter with out the on screen keyboard23:45
xmnall I have is the buttons on the bottom of the terminal window23:45
