When flashing from a Linux PC, my method to flash is to remove the battery, run flasher command replace battery, and insert usb cable.
From the wiki
Reading other parts of the wiki, it appears that pressing U is important when flashing from a Windows setup to enable drivers to be installed. This is genuinely not the case from an Ubuntu Linux setup when I have flashed my device in the past. In fact I need to do a reflash over the next couple of days, so I'll try it to confirm.
From the wiki
Note: You may not need to hold the U key - it seems to automatically flash if the flasher is ready at boot time.

I've seen keyboard replacements for the N900 on eBay. Also, does the N900 have xev? you could run that, press the U key and see if it's the hardware or software (well that will at least determine it's not something particular programs are having issues with.)

There are some replacement flex ribbons.

And there is a keyboard / case.

@nicholes have you ever tried to flash your device in Linux ? as written in Wiki and confirmed by mrsellout that it is not required to hold U key while flashing N900 in Linux.

holding U key is necessary to enter N900 into flashing mode without pressing it will simply put N900 into charging mode.
I have always pressed U key whenever i wanted to flash it.

You don't always have to press U to flash your device, so you might be OK. I don't think I've had to when I've flashed mine.
If it is a big concern, remember, even now, devices can be replaced, so as long as you keep backups on an sd card or elsewhere off the emmc, you can always recreate your setup.
I have always pressed U key whenever i wanted to flash it.
