All 5 buttons next to D-Pad don't work - any ideas?

[bman18]

With my Tytn (HTC) the red and green buttons dont work, together with the buttons next to them. All other buttons, including the scrollwheel and D-Pad work ok.
I flashed it a couple of times with different ROM's, but this doesn't affect the buttons, so I suppose it's a hardware problem (HT629).

This has happened once before a month ago when I had put the phone in my backpocket. It started working again after a couple of days. Now it doesn't seem to start working again. My best guess is that it has something to do with humid air, but that's a long shot.
I couldn't find any relevant posts regarding this specific problem, so maybe someone has any ideas?
Thxs.

Thxs for the idea. Unfortunately in my case it doesn't work. Reflashed without any result :(

Does anyone have other ideas. I'm not looking forward to open the phone in the remote hope I find some loose connection.

did you Guys Drop it or something?

If you Hard Reset and the buttons don't come back its possible The Dpad is no good. You'll have to buy a New one and replace it or send it back to Cingular for replacement.
