E71 Only Power Key works

So I was using my phone the ohther day.  Tried to put someone on hold while I checked something on the internet.  Cant do packet data and voice at the same time.  No Problem I pushed the RED button to exit the browser.  Instead it hung up on my client.  I was like thats ok Ill just find what i need and Call him back.  Well the internet was running realllllyyy SLLLLOOOWWWW.  (In 3G Coverage)  My buddy has a samsung Impression.  He said his internet was going fast.  I powered down the phone.  Turned it back on and the keyboard no longer works.  It boots fine and goes to the screen where you have to enter the date.  At that screen you can not do anything.   No matter what button you press. Nothing happens, no chime, and after the backlight goes out you cant even make it come back on with any of the buttons.  Except the power button if you press it it will beep, like you pressed a button and bring the backlight back on.  I dont know if it is a software issue or maybe the ribbon came unplugged or what but I may just need to get  a T6 and take it apart.  What do you think?
The phone is NOT in warranty.
I bought it for $100 off of craigslist and had it a week and 2 days and it did this?
Thanks in Advance

when it is to do with hardware you should not focus only on keypad, there are lots of interconnection of components which depends on one another (keypad may be ok but controller on motherboard? who knows whithout seen it).
i haven't seen hardware(component) fitted inside this phone wether it has a seperate keypad card or or is just on one side of motherboard. so i can't say it can be replaced easily as you think.
Why don't you go through this once? /t5/Hardware-Codes-and-Operator/e71-e71x-hard-reset-at-boot-issues/m-p/543806
give it a try
i personally, wont suggest you, 'do it yourself' but if the above efforts are helpless do it at your own risk(technically sound?) becuase i guess you are not in your way to care center untill phones become completely unusable. but keep in mind that nokia care would be your best friend
replacing conpenents on smt board is out of question without laboratory eqiupments, only you can do is cleaning connectors and dirty parts, you can check keypad connector(by any chance keyboard connector get loose when you press red key too hard to ignore a call)
keyboard buttoms, cover parts? not so important.
don't try this at home or do it at your own risk
good luck

  • Only certain keys work on Apple Bluetooth keyboard

    Discarted my Apple Wireless keyboard that came with my imac because only certain keys worked (4 or 5 keys). Finally bout another Apple Wireless keyboard, and have the same problem. All the settings are correct. any advice?

    Sometimes this is caused by accidently setting "mouse keys" on by hitting the Option key 5 times. 
    Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Turn Mouse Keys off.

  • Only F keys work in Numbers and Pages after iWorks Update 6

    Within Numbers and Pages only the F keys work. Is anyone else having this problem since installing iWorks update 6? What can be done to regain use of the keyboard?

    Update - I am using Better Touch Tool (BTT) which provides additional gestures for my Magic Mouse. Disabling BTT for Numbers and Pages restored the keyboard functionality. If you experience similar problems, open BTT and add Numbers and Pages to the program list and select the option to disable BTT completely for these two programs.

  • InDesign CS3: Only shortcut keys work

    Hi all, I need some help.
    I have a client who is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition. He has Adobe InDesign CS3 which he purchased via the internet about 2 years ago now. The program has been installed since then.He has only today started to try to use the program.
    The program loads fine. He makes a new document fine. When he tries to click any buttons on the left (Text, Pencil, Select, etc) nothing happens! If he presses the keyboard shortcut (ie presses T for Text) it works fine. The buttons are not responding to the mouseclicks at all!
    Does anybody kow what might be causing this issue?
    I have disabled UAC, uninstalled, and reinstalled InDesign CS3 but the darn thing refuses to work as it should. I have run the program as Administrator and set it to XP + SP3 compatability mode. Still it refuses to work!
    Help please

    Thanks Bob. I will visit my client tomorrow and see if this works.
    My client has a higher than normal (150% I think) DPI because he is a bit sight impaired.
    If setting the DPI back to normal makes CS3 behave then he will have another issue because he won;t be able to see other things clearly.
    I wonder why Adobe cannot fix this interesting feature that their software has?

  • Power key shortcut not working

    Hi,
    I'm using a wireless keyboard and assigned one of the keys the "power key" function which is supposed to allow me the option to shut down, restart or log off my computer. But ever since I've upgraded to Yosemite, the keyboard shortcut isn't working as its supposed to. When I press the key, the options doesn't appear and I'm only able to put it to sleep by holding the key down for awhile.
    Is there another setting I need to configure or is this just a bug that they need to fix? Any solution? Thanks.

    Only the Nokia Care facility can tell you what they will charge. They are third-party service providers not run Nokia and charges between countries and regions vary.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

    I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
    Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
    Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
    I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
    After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
    If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
    I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
    I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
    I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
    I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi!
    I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
    I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
    I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

  • T400 HELP!!! Only Fn key functions work, all other keys do not!

    Everything was working fine till i was in my browser and somehow hit spacebar only find that the screen has been magnified. From then on only keys with Fn function(light blue keys) worked; I have tried (Fn+Num Lk), (Fn+Scr Lk), (<right,left>shift+f10/f11), rolling back to previous backup, rebooting. Nothing works!! I tried these commands in the on-screen keyboard but there is no way to use the fn key, it does not have one. I have uninstalled the keyboard driver only for it to reinstall upon boot, it still does not work.
    Only keys with the Fn function; Fn+F2(windows lock), Fn+F3(battery), Fn+F4(stand-by), Fn+F5(wireless), Fn+F7(presentation/screen display), Fn+F8(keyboard pointer and touch pad), Fn+F9(i don't know), F12(hibernate), scrLk(numLk), home(brightness+), end(brightness-), pg up(keyboard bulb), spacebar(magnify screen) and the think vantage blue button. Only these few work. All other neutral keys do not work. I'm not sure about PrtSc(sysRq) and pause(Break). I tried them but doesn't seem to respond
    I have searched for all possible fixes, I am at an end if no one here is able to help me. I have deadlines coming up and am really desperate, HELP!!!

    You may have a Thinkpad keyboard fault - fortunately the keyboards are field replaceable units.
    I don't work for Lenovo

  • My play and power key doesn't work?

    My play and power key doesn't work any ideas?

    If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting were able to resolve the issue, we can be certain that it is hardware related meaning you'll need to take/send your iPod in for service or repair.

  • Startup, "desktop" screen is stuck in a loop, no keys work, must "power" switch down.

    Upon power up, all normal until the loading of the "desktop" screen.   It does not finish loading,  All icons and their text ids load, but the "icon" pictures do not finish loading.   The computer then goes into a reload of that screen, rather rapid loop, no escape from loop.   No keys work, mouse does not work, touch pad does not work.  Must use power switch to shut down. Norton 360 security, current, no problems reported.   Backup thumb drive startup also fails. Thank you for any ideas....  

    I took computer to our local gurus.  How he managed to gain contol I didn't ask.  He removed Norton 360, and all went well afterwards. When I got home with computer, I began to reinstall "Norton 360" and received the following message that "Norton 360 is not compatible with your computer..."  Well, it had worked for 1-1/2 years flawlessly, but what the heck.....?  I scrapped the "360" plan, paid for "Norton Security", installed that new-to-me program with no errors. Up and running with no problems, and as the new "Norton Security" was able to access "my vault", I have all my passwords, etc. to various URLs.  That I might have lost all of them was a horrible thought, even tho' I have them off site. In summary, the "Norton 360" brand new incompatiblilty with Windows 8.1 and my HP ENVY shut me down this a.m. Best of luck to you with your computer...

  • Foreing keys works only when created as CAPITAL?

    Hello,
    When working with HTML DB tutorial, I have noticed that foreign keys works only when I do create them as CAPITAL. I did create some foreign keys manually, and when I was trying "query by example" it did not work correctly unles I did re-create the foreign keys using all captials in their name. Why is it that?
    Thank you,
    DanielD

    I let it dry out more and it started working. It still has a quirk or two but I can live with it.
