Possibly the contact, which is used to detect if the keyboard is open, might not be working.

Mikechannon is the hardware guy on the hermes and im sure he will come across this post at some point ;)

Hi

I don't have one opened up in front of me but yes Mrvanx has it I think. One of the multi connectors is either un-plugged or not pushed in fully. There is one that is quite liable to "pinging" off unless it's firmly pressed home. No guarantees but I'd be fairly confident that that's all it is. The guy should have checked it after the repair!

This is the likely culprit. It's easy to forget to press it home as it curls itself round on its mylar cable and rests on the connection (ie looks connected but may not be pressed into the connection). Good news is that it's not a major dismantling job. All it needs is the back off to reveal it.
