The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
    Best Regards,

  • My Apple Bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works but the rest of the keys do not. I was carrying this in my computer bag without turning it off and that is when this started.

    My apple bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works and the iPad sees the bluetooth keyboard (the bluetooth icon is active) but the other keys do not work. For the past coupld of days I have carried my keyboard in my computerbag without turning it off and I am thinking I have done something to make the letter keys to stop working. Two days in a row I did turn on the music as I carried the computer bag into work so I know that some keys were being activated.

    *UPDATE*
    I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

  • IPhone 5 - Keyboard Shortcuts stopped working

    Hi Community,
    my iPhone 5 keyboard shortcuts stopped working since a couple of days. Moreover the same problem occurs with my iPad Mini 2.
    I didn't change any settings or whatsoever.
    Also very strange is, when I enter the keyboard shortcut settings, the whole setting app becomes super slow or crashes. And editing the settings is also super slow... I mean 15sec. after-click-reaction slow...
    Anybody has the same problem?

    I deleted the iCloud account on both devices, then recreated them but problem remains...

  • IPhone 5 display has stopped working. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 5 display has stopped working. The Lock button has not been working for quite some time now, so I can't try a reset. When I plug the phone up to the computer, it makes the sound which indicates that it has been hooked up, bu nothing is displayed. It is just a black screen.

        I'm sorry to hear about your phone, frodolad_ell. It sounds like you have a defective device. Is the phone still under the one year warranty? Does the device have physical or moisture damage? Please provide me with a few details.

  • My keyboard has stopped working. How do I fix it?

    Hello!
    Today I got back to work after my summer vacation and for some reason my keyboard has stopped working.
    I tried with my collegues keyboard but that didn't work either.
    The keyboard works if I give my virtual machine in Parallels direct access to it, but not in OSX so it's probably not a hardware issue. (This is how I am writing this)
    The caps-lock light works even when connected to osx. Mouse works perfectly in osx.
    I am running 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 2x2.8ghz xeon 12gb RAM.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a bunch!
    /Hannes

    I upgraded to Mountainlion and the problem not only persisted, but also worsened.
    Any button I pressed, it restarted.
    I have removed a couple of apps I had installed, for example Double Command which I think might have been the culprit, and now the computer works fine again.
    Big relief!

  • HT2452 my imac keyboard has stopped working? help!!!

    my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

    My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
    FIXED THE PROBLEM!  I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
    My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.

  • My keyboard has stopped working on my iMac I bought a new keyboard and still not working any ideas?

    MY keyboard has stopped working on my iMac I bought a brand new one and the keys work but the volume buttons do not operate the volume I've changed it twice now and the same thing is still happening

    What is the make & model number of the keyboard?
    You could get a keyboard remapping program & map someother key to the volumn key.
    There is a list of them in this thread.

  • My Mac USB keyboard has stopped working

    Hi,
    I have a less than 6 month old fully loaded iMac 3.4 ghz i7.  Overnight my USB (alphanumeric keyboard has stopped working.  Had to dig out a wireless keyboard from another mac to login.  The tried unplugging and moving the USB.  ( All USB ports works and are powered up with other devices )  No change.  Tried full system reset with power cord removed for 5 minutes,  no change.  Tried it all twice,  no cahnge.
    Typing this on wireless keyboard and hoping someone can confirm if Mac has pushed an update that forgets about the keyboard or if there is known issues with the usb wired keyboard that means they have suddenly got a life of less than 6 months?

    Not any updates I know of, but if there were Software Update would offer them. Have you tried and SMC and PRAM reset - sometimes sorts out odd issues?

  • The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works.  However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled.  Help!

    It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
    Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
    Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

  • HT2305 when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it

    when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it. unistalled it 3x and in the proper order. reset all internet connection to default setting, turned off virus programs ect. Even the tech at apple by remote access couldnt fix it. use microsoft fix it also no good....\

    I am having the same problem now also. It happened after I updated my version. I have NEVER had this problem before as a windows user and have had iTunes for 5 years. So, I would have to say it is an Apple problem. I have not changed anything on my computer. I still have Internet Explorer and I have not even updated windows. The only thing I updated was iTunes. Now, I am not getting any response from Apple and if you call you have to pay for support. What a joke. An iPod costs $400 you would think that after paying that much you would at least get some type of help. This will now be the last time I ever by anything apple.

  • I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working"

    I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working"   I have no idea how to fix it and can't find anything online that has worked.

    Ok, lets start. The first option you gave me. Didn't work. I went into safe mode like it said (RealPlayer is not on this computer). The problem still presisted. I then made a new profile, and still the same responces. Tried default one more, no avail.
    I then prceeded to the step for the mms.cfg file.  Unfortunately, I cannot access that file. It's not readable on the computer. (Such problems with every turn I take )
    So, I then proceeded to the second option of the hardware acceleration. Talk about falling flat on my face. It wouldn't even pull up my type of flash for me to even access the settings. It gave me the little sad face stating "Adobe Flash has crashed".
    I have provided screen shots of what I get when I get the Adobe crashes.
    This is the first popup window I get whenever I start to have issues with Flash.
    This is showing what I got for the type of flash. except, first time it showed, there was the sad "Flash Crashed" face image. Notice the notification in the right bottom on the screen. That pops up everytime Flash forces close.
    This is the sad "Flash crashed" face I am talking about. And yes, I submit reports everytime I get the chance to.
    I don't know if this would help. But this popup happens occasionally with the Flash popup.
    Just an FYI; that first Flask Popup even occured everytime I went to attach an image.  Hopefully this will help figure out what's going on. Please let me know if you need more info.
