Magician X-Files :: some buttons don't work/respond

Quirky prob. The directional buttons, center button, and the contacts button all don't work at all. Odd. I opened the casing with the 'bad sound' tutorial as a guide, cleaned the contacts, no effect.

Strangely enough, the call and end call buttons weren't working either till who the heck knows what I did. Now thery work perfectly.

I mean honestly, this is some supernatural behavior. Tempermental hardware buttons? I need Scully on the scene now.

I can work around it, but can think of other things I'd rather do... like use the phone normally.

Not expecting much, given the strangeness factor(tm) but any help much appreciated.

Not that I know of, unless it's gets installed by default in the extended rom.

Here's another strange bit of behavior. Every 5 mintues or so, the 'contacts' button gets 'virtually' pressed twice. Whatever is assigned. Even though tHe button itself doesn't seem to work

Furthermore still, after the phone comes back from standby, the call and end call buttons don't work until I press another button first. Then they work fine.

So farm the directional pad doesn't respond to anything, neither one in the middle.

I don't know whether it's a hardware prob or software at this point.

Phone has both wwe and radio 1.13 and all the extended t-mobile apps intalled.
