that confirms that your sensor is malfunctioning. I'm sorry I don't have any spare. I too am dealing with the same problem but had to live with it. replacing it would be hard too you'll need a fine point soldering kit if you find a spare sensor. your best bet would be to buy a new n900 which is really cheap if buy it from someone who does not know the power of this mini computer

There is another possibility that the sensor is not so much mulfunctioning as it is just short-circuited by a piece of dirt, trapped moisture or some such. I would start by opening the phone and giving it a good clean inside. You will be surprised how much dirt you can find there. Just a gentle brush with an old soft toothbrush plus blow the dust off would do. Do not brush too hard or you may rub some components off.

yep, but I don't have the right toolkit for opening it, bro pichlo. And I'm not dexterous enough to open my phone. So today, I bring it to phone shop, hopefully tomorrow will be OK

Actually, that's pretty easy; the file is generated by the operating system, and contains just one word: either "open" or "closed". You'll need to gain root access, then edit the file with your favorite editor and change the word to "closed", at which point (hopefully) it will then believe that the keyboard is closed.
However, I just tried this on my N900, and the OS immediately set it back to "open", so I don't know just how well this technique will work for you.

hi, bro shawnjefferson. I've not yet tried that, but before I go to phone shop, orientation worked but intermittent.
So I conclude, this is HW problem, and supposedly today, I can get it back
Thanks for all your help everyone

Hmm. "Photos" app won't rotate the picture being viewed when you turn the phone? The browser won't rotate if you open up the menu and go to "options", then "settings", and then check "Enable rotation"?
Hmm. Nothing seems wrong to me here, though I am not really an expert.
That is, I think, the correct file for the PR1.3.1 root filesystem. If you want to reformat absolutely everything in the N900, you'll also need to flash the "EMMC" as well; there's a separate .bin file for that. If you haven't already seen it, there's a page with a lot of info about this process at:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#N900
(This is another area where I am probably not the right person to say anything, as I've only flashed an N900 once...)
