Hi...
Pull the battery now and place the phone in a bag of rice to dry it out...
Here is another link on wet blackberries...
If the phone is already dried out, you can send the phone out and have it repaired at the component level.
There are several services that can do this. One is the bbrepairshop in Houston.

  • Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

    I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

  • Keyboard and trackpad does not work.

    Hey guys~
    I have the late 2009 Unibody Macbook Pro and just yesterday both my keyboard and trackpad have stopped working. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and know of a solution. I made upgrades to the macbook (added more memory and a better HD) but that was back 9 months ago. Ive tried reseting the PRAM but I can't because the keyboard just doesnt work at all. I had to run out and buy a temporary external keyboard to plug into the USB. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    I forgot to mention that my power button did work but everything else, keyboard and trackpad, didn't! Anyway, I shutdown my laptop, slept, and turned it back (in hopes that it might work instead of restarting it like before). Now my keyboard and trackpad works! Thank goodness! I was about to go to the Apple store upset too! 

  • HP G62-348CA number keys and arrow keys not working

    Good day Experts! Can someone help me fix my laptop? I got G62-348CA unit. only number 5 and 6 in my number keys are working and also arrow keys down and right are not functioning. at first it was built with windows 7 home premium 64bit but then i have to reformat my laptop with windows 7 ultimate but i dont have available 64bit so i install 32bit of the OS. before i install the OS, number keys and arrow keys are working fine but after I reformat my laptop with ultimate 32bit, the said keys are not working. please guys help me. im having trouble with my unit and i dont know what to do. its pretty bad i dont have any idea. all the best with you guys and i'm hoping for your fast and kind response. thank you!

    Because the operating system does not affect the keyboard in that way . .. If the operating system has issues it would switch keys or assign wrong characters.

  • Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' Keys not working - can't log

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    My 'F' and 'w' keys arent working, and because I have a Built-in HDD user password of which contains those letters, I can not start up my computer.
    I had a 'startup' problem a couple of months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to a previous date. I did this through Boot management during startup. The only thing is I cant remember how to do it now.
    I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop- so the only way I can do it is through boot management.
    So, how do you do a system restore? or is there another way of fixing this problem?.
    Please help!! :)

    Hello
    If W and F key dont work I would recommend replacing the keyboard or use an external one. In my opinion its the best choice because you also need the keys for typing letters or emails
    You can get a new keyboard from an authorized service provider in your country.
    > I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop
    I think you should read the user manual because you have to create this disk yourself ;)

  • "backspace," "g" and "h" key not working

    Hello,
    Suddenly the "backspace," "g" and "h" keys stopped working. Due to this issue, I can't log in to use my computer. 
    Please, help.
    I have a Pavilion g7-1260 us Notebook PC, Windows 7.
    Please help becasue I can't use my laptop at all.
    Thanks,
    Carlos-Manuel

    Hi Carlos,
    Well, to get logged in (assuming your PC is at least booting up to the Windows Logon screen), you can try to use the On-Screen Keyboard, just click on the Ease of Access button (should be on the lower left hand side of the logon screen) and put a check mark in the box next to "Type without the keyboard" and select OK.  This should bring up the On-Screen Keyboard and allow you to enter your user name and password.  Note that I'm assuming here that you couldn't get logged on because either your user name or password or both uses one of the keys that isn't working.
    Alternatively you can also just connect an external USB keyboard, like what you might use with a Desktop PC.
    That should at least allow you to use your computer somewhat.
    To test your keyboard, reboot the computer and press F2 to access the UEFI diagnostics.  You can find the full procudure in this document:
    Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
    If you don't have the lastest UEFI diagnostics installed on your PC, you can get the download here for your model PC:
    HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment
    There is a keyboard test under system tests, it may take a while to get through the test procedure, but it will verify if the keyboard hardware is functional or not.
    If the keyboard test all pass, but you still have problems with some keys on the keyboard, check that the keyboard language has not been changed.  Go to Start --> Control Panel, choose "Change Keyboards or other input methods", then click the Change Keyboards button.  Based on your model, you should have the English (United States) - US option selected.  If some other keyboard is selected, that can cause some weirdness with your keyboard.
    Good Luck!
    Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • ESC Caps Lock and Tab keys not working

    I have keys that are not responding on the key board while others are working just fine.

    Please reset the SMC, this may take up to 3 attempts to "take." If you still have trouble then try a USB keyboard and see if that works, if it does that points the finger at the keyboard which will need to be replaced.
    To do a SMC reset, simply power off the computer, remove the power cord from both the wall and computer, wait 15-20 seconds and reboot.
