Help! My buttons have stopped working when keyboard locks.

I have a blackberry curve 8900 and it's always worked fine but today it started giving me trouble. I have it set to always block the keyboard when not in use and today, it won't unlock anymore.
I tried taking off the battery and SIM card for a few minutes, and then when it turns on it works perfectly fine, but the minute I leave it alone and the screen goes dark, everything just stops working, the trackball, buttons, unlock button, etc. The screen is just plain dark as if it was off ( but it isn't cause I still hear emails and bbm messages)
I thought it may have something to do with the memory,  and I deleted a bunch of useless stuff but nothing seems to work. Also, it happened out of the blue, no new installs in the past few months. Didn't drop it or got it wet. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I don't suppose you have an external keyboard. If you do, test it. If not, try booting in safe mode (shift key down at startup.)

  • The hold button and volume buttons have stopped working on my iTouch 4. How can I fix it?

    I've only had it for about 6 months. It's never been dropped or abused in any way. All of the sudden, the buttons just stopped working. How can I fix it? Please help!!

    The issue with the battery is a problem.  The last battery I purchased was at the end of September, so it is NOT old.  I would think that a battery would last longer than 6 months, considering the original one lasted up until that point.  Granted it would not hold as much of a charge, but it still worked at least.  So, at this point, I would think it would be a problem with the laptop and not the battery.  I have asked a few friends of mine, who are IT professionals and they said that it is probably an issue with the internal power supply.  I've also tried replacing the AC adapter and that did not work either.  As you said, you get what you pay for.  Since I paid a good price for this laptop I would think it would last longer than it has.  The other 2 I have do not have this issue.  The DV5215us is on it's second battery, which is reasonable, and it does not have this charging problem.  The tx1115nr also does not have this problem and is still on its original battery.  One would think that since the earlier generations of product would have more problems than the latter, but I guess that is not the case.
    Like I stated eariler I am rough on my laptops and I should probably look at ones that are built more rigid.

  • The open new tab (+ sign button) unexpectedly stopped working when I click on the + sign why?

    The + sign button that opens a new tab (called Untitled) stopped working. When I go to File, and click on New Tab, that does not work either. I checked the Options and made sure the "Open new window in new tab instead was checked. I tried System Restore, and I downloaded and installed Firefox 5.0. The + sign still does not work. This problem in on my desktop. I checked my laptop and the open new tab + sign button is working fine. What is happening?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Some of my buttons have stopped working, my sign out button on my yahoo mail has stopped working, my Etsy sigh in button has stopped working

    when I click sign out on my yahoo mail it wont work, when I click sign in on my Etsy page it wont sign in, the buttons wont work! I have to use my internet explorer browser,and I hate it!

    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • Zen Vision:M buttons have stopped working (minus the touchp

    Just yesterday my Zen stopped detecting any buttons I hit, meaning the play/pause, options, forward and back buttons. Even turning it off doesn't work, yet it still detects if it is in locked mode. I'm really confused because the touchpad still works but I can click on anything.
    This means when I reset and try to reformat/cleanup my player I have no success because you have to click them to enable it. So basically my player is "dead" unless you guys can help me.
    Thanks

    Tried that and it failed, but apparently I could reformat through My Computer so thankfully its working again...but now I have to transfer everything back over.
    Win some lose some I guess.

  • Help my headphones have stopped working

    I was watching a video done in flash. I opened up the menu trying to make it full screen. I went into the setting tab and hit the Microphone tab. Now all sounds comes out of the laptopn speakers and the headphones simply do not work.
    I do not even think I clicked in the mircophone menu.

    ChickInVici,
    Having similar issue with iPad 2.  No volume on Apps or Music (except when using headphones).  Just started happening after months of no issues.  Have reset/ restored with no solution.  Can you provide more detail with your solution?  I went to >settings>accessibility>voiceover.....but could not find headphones etc... what am I missing.  Could you be more specific on what you changed to resolve your issue.
    thanks

  • My home AND power button have stopped working.

      i was deleting apps in settings and hit the home button but nothing happened. I used my assistive touch to hit the home button, but again, nothing happened. i was still able to navigate the settings menu, go in and out of the differents settings options and files, but i couldnt get out of the settings app and back to the home. i then hit the power butting on top and still, nothing happened. although i have already been having issues with that button getting jammed. i went into assistive touch agiain and went to devices then hit lock screen. now i cant turn the screen back on. my music is still playing and i can hear notifications popping up, but i have no way to turn the screen back on. everything is working but the screen wont come on. the volume buttons work and so does the silence switch. what do i do!? i need my phone and dont have the monet to buy a new one!

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

  • Alot of the features have stopped working when I forced to upgrade to Firefox 4.01 How do I uninstall this I want to old version back or I'm just going to use Chrome. FF 4.01 sucks big time!!!

    I have lost allot of trackpad features. No more zoom, scroll, or movement side to side.

    I agree that Firefox 4 blows. I upgraded because it is usually a good thing with Firefox but I see that they have now sold out to the 'Chrome' look and feel.
    For crying out loud!!! Stop messing up a good thing.
    Screw that. I hate this newly upgraded piece of crap and if I can't go back to something decent, I'll go back to IE or create my own browser.

  • Back/Forward buttons have stopped working how do i enable them

    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore from backup.
    If still a problem, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still a problem then you likey have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hardbuttons on Lumia 2520 tablet have stopped work...

    Owned my tablet for about a week with absolutely no problems but then after trying to update software the update failed and so the tablet went to revert changes. Everything was fine until in the evening when I decided to install the update again and it did so successfully, however, after the update my lock, volume, and Windows buttons have stopped working.
    The Windows button still vibrates but does nothing else. The lock button when held down long enough still restarts the tablet further leading me to believe this is a software fault not a hardware one.
    Since the problem has arisen I have searched the internet for help but to no avail. I have of course tried numerous soft resets and even a complete hard reset. The problem has not gone away.
    On some other websites other users have had this exact problem too.
    This is just such a shame. Otherwise it is a great product and was really enjoying owning it but like so many of my Nokia things recently something catastrophic goes wrong!
    This has effectively made the Lumia 2520 completely unusable as a tablet.

  • My inernal speakers have stopped working. I now have a little 'no entry' sign.

    My internal speakers have stopped working - when I click on 'sound' I get a little 'no entry' sign; I've done all the Preferences things, and looked at Help, but no result!

    Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset.  It can do no harm.  Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.
