recently i noticed my spacebar and delete key is getting flaky, as in some clicks dont register. i have to either press them hard or keep clicking it..seems liike a hardware issue.
how hard is it to open the phone and reconnect the keyboard connection or replace the keyboard? is the connector fairly accessible?

So is there a way to fix it? open it up and put some type of film underneath the keyboard?
HI! I HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM!! Do you have any idea what this could be?!?
Suddenly, this started; when I push the joystick on the phone or arrow buttons on the KB, the phone just starts clicking.... continuously, like I would constantly push the joystick or arrow. I get stuck in word, task, calendar or any other application I am currently using and need to do soft or hard reset. Even after soft or hard reset the issue is NOT solved. It seems that other buttons or screen does not cause this.
In addition: I am able to turn off screen and the clicking stops. When I turn on the screen the clicking resumes/continues.
Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi guys...
I'm using the T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus and encountered this problem today. When I want to write the body of a new text message in XT9 mode, usually when you hold the slide out keypad's key down say "the 6 key", the number 6 is inserted into the message.
Well today, that stopped and I don't know why. Using the slide out keypad to type alphabets work fine but no matter how long i hold the keys down, the number are no longer inserting.
I also discovered that when I hold the *XT9 key down, the menu which usually appears on the right soft button area no longer appears too.
Any experts care to help me out here?
The soft keyboard on screen works fine though and usualy the slide out keypad to dial numbers to make a phone call works fine too. So i doubt its the hardware at fault...
can someone explain me why when i pres down key it acts lik i`m pressing left key and when i press left sometimes goes down and sometimes goes left?is any solution.is keypad damaged?and when i pres one of two keys it sounds like i`m pressing more keys sametime.
thnx
I am having a similar issue with my prophet's keypad. It doesn't act reserve like yours but some of the buttons don't function at all. Center key, UP , Right keys aren't functioning. Anyway, i've disassembled the phone 5 times to solve this issue but it just doesn't work. I am sure that my keypad board is %100 functional.
For your problem, i can suggest to dissamble the phone and check if the keypad flex connector is well connected. If that doesn't help, your keypad board might need replacement.
