Keypad and trackball frozen

Hi,
I am having a very strange issue with my blackberry.
Essentially, the phone will allow me to turn it on by pressing the power button. However, once it's on, the phone will not respond to any of the keypad buttons (including the power button - in order to turn it back off, I need to pull the battery). Nor is it responding when I move or press the trackball. When a phone call comes in, it rings, but I can't answer it because it doesn't respond when I press the answer button.
I've checked whether it got wet - it didn't.
I've left the battery out for days. That didn't help.
I've updated to the latest version of the software (it still connects to my desktop software without any problem). That didn't help.
I tried clearing all the data - didn't help.
Anyone have any other ideas for me to try?
Thanks,
Evan

If water goes inside the phone then various types of issues can arise. Without doing any delay you should remove the battery and put the on hot surface (on under sun) for fairly long time so that the device can be dried down (as much as possible). Only then you can try using the device.
If inconsistent behavior can be observed the you should consider having a new device.

Keypad and trackball not registering normal characters

I don't know if has to do with latest trip - was in Florida then mexico; bought data packages for both fron rogers while there; part way through mexico trip keypad started working differently. Pulled battery, nothing, charged battery once went near dead, and worked ok for half day. Have since gpdated to version 6 desktop, deleted files; still the same. Any ideas?

Hello chloe124 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
When you connect your BlackBerry to your computer, you would enter your password using your computer's keyboard.
If you used numbers on your device, did you hold ALT each time? If not, your password would be the corresponding letters (for example if you used 2468 on your device but didn't hold ALT the computer would recognize the password as esfx).
Hope this helps with the computer connection.
If you are able to do the software load but the keyboard and trackpad aren't functioning you would need to contact your point of sale for hardware repair options.
Thanks!

Ipad App Store said "20" updates. I attempted to update w/3G. Now many apps say "Waiting" and are frozen. When I go online and plug into computer it just updates and doesn't address the individual apps, which still say "Waiting" and are frozen.

iPad App Store app said "20 updates". Attempted to update w/3G. Updated some, but now many apps say "waiting" and are frozen. I attempted to update then by attaching to computer Itunes Store. All it did was very quickly go thru the 4 steps and said, "Synched, OK to uplug." I clicked my ipad and then apps. It also said Update complete (or something like that). Now several apps on iPad are frozen and say "Waiting". Help!!

Oh a few other things I forgot.
The long winded back-ups!!!! JESSSSSSH! Although I think the latest update seems to have bit into this a bit.
Also why is it that sometimes when the iPhone is syncing it will not say on the actual iPhone that it is syncing. I see it's syncing in iTunes but the iPhone doesn't have the typical do not disconnect -syncing message!!! What's odd is I can see the new apps being updated to the iPhone and as long as I don't open any apps it will finish it's sync but the minute I open any apps the iPhone will lock-up!!!

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode?

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode? Grab a drink and let me tell you my story.
I purchased two computers... an iMac 27" i7 3.4 16GB RAM and a Mac mini 2.3 i5 8 GB RAM. Both have Thunderbolt capability and are in fact connected by thunderbolt. I have 3 problems...
1. My Mac mini WILL NOT recognize any bluetooth keyboard. Let me back up for clarification. I set my iMac up first. No problems there. I then went on to set up my mac mini. A couple of interesting things happened concering bluetooth activity. First thing is that the keypad, which was already paired with my iMac wouldn't be recognized by the mac mini, and yet my bluetooth mouse which was paired with my iMac became paired with my mac mini and thus wouldn't be recognized by my iMac anymore. I had to go to my back room and dig out my other bluetooth mouse so that my iMac would at least recognize my second mouse. So now I have two "mice"presently. One for the mac mini, the other for the iMac. Thankfully I also had a USB keypad for my mac mini. My bluetooth keypad is still paired with my iMac but won't pair with my mac mini, which brings me to another question....
2. CAN 1 KEYPAD AND 1 MOUSE PAIR WITH TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS SO THAT WHEN I GO INTO TARGET MODE VIA THUNDERBOLT I CAN USE THE SAME KEYPAD AND MOUSE FOR BOTH COMPUTERS? Anybody have some thoughts on that problem?
3. WHY IN THE WORLD IS MY MOUSE CURSOR DISAPPEARING EVERYTIME I EXIT TARGET MODE VIA PASSWORD AND COMMAND F2. I'm using target mode to access my mac mini. But when I exit target mode to get back into my iMac I'm looking at my iMac screen but I can't see the mouse pointer! I can move the pointer around even though I can't see it. Wierd. And this has apparently been going on for some time with other users for over a year. I am presently completely up to date on Lion updates. Both systems are running 10.7.4. Does anyone have a solution or heard a rumor of a solution coming soon regarding the invisible mouse cursor "curse". I hate having to restart my iMac everytime I exit out of target mode just so I can get my mouse cursor visible again.
Food for thought.... Wouldn't it be really cool to have a target mode capability to see your other computers desktops in seperate window screens on your main display. You then could go back and forth from each window by just double clicking or by certain key commands. You could drag and drop from desktop to desktop. Tell me this is coming soon.
Thanks

Keypad and contacts button dont work on 5800

i have just noticed that the keypad and contacts button on my main screen (nokia 5800) dont work now when i press them. This means that although i can still get to my contacts via the menu i cant type in a random phone number anymore....please help

problem solved with hard reset, make sure you make a backup of your phone using nokia PC suite, then turn of your phone, then keep the green phone button , the red phone button and the camera button pressed in while turning your phone back on, keep the 3 buttons pressed in until you see the shaking hands, then give country date , time etc, them your phone is going to configure the memory card, after that restore your backup with your pc
I hope this is helping you out

While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing. Never install anything if you do not know what it is. Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick. Although I am not positive.
Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed. Hopefully, someone else will chime in here.
GOOD LUCK!

My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel, I tried the method where you hold the home and lock button lots of times and it hasn't worked! What do I do?

My question won't all fit in but it says 'My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel. What do I do?'
I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Since about a month now my iphone 4 text/alert tones, Keypad and lock tones and also the music are no longer working. It is not onTone 'None'. When someone calls me it rings no problem but no other sunds seem to work. It only vibrates.

Mine is since that update aswell, I have been blaming that but just wasnt 100% sure. There was an update this week but hasnt sorted it. Im a 4hr drive from nearest apple store so really trying to avoid having to send it away/go to a store with it.

After upgrading to Mavericks on my MacBook, I'm not able to download third party applications like Dropbox and MyCleanMac 2. After clicking the download button, the screen just turns dark and is frozen. Any idea what is happening?

Start your iMac with the original DVD that camera with the system. Then open disk utility and repair your hard drive, also repair your permissions.

Is this the first time you've fired it up? If so, what it wants you to do is to attach it to a computer that's running ITunes 10.5. iTunes will then 'see' the iPad and start a dialogue box to activate the iPad.

ITunes Deleted iOS 7 and is frozen downloading IOS 8

What do I do when I tried updating my iphone through itunes and it deletes iOS7 and is frozen updating to iOS 8?

Reset iPad and continue with update.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
