Keyboard problems

[JROMAN1412]

Well Im really upset... :( It takes me almost a month to get a replacement LCD screen for my Wing and I am proud to say i took it apart and put it make together making sure all is right.. (ribbons..screws..yellow tape...) and guess what it powers on, reads the sim, get a signal, phone works..BUT NO KEYBOARD.:confused::(

Actually The only letter that do work are the e,f,h,n,o and if i hit the caps lock i get them to go caps but i get no indicator light to turn on. Same thing for the ALT indicator light. What in the world could have gone wrong? i was so careful taking it apart and putting it together for this to happen? I even did a hard reset thinking this might solve my problems? nothing its all the same.

any ideas?

you probably messed up a ribbon or something, its pretty easy to do it. I've heard stories of people messing up their keyboards when they replace the screens, so it's not really a common issue.

If you're still under warranty, slap on the original rom, un-hardspl, and call tmobile and tell them it just stopped working.

if not under warranty, do the same thing, and then raise plenty of hell when they tell you that your warranty is over (hint- ask for their supervisor)

Im going to try to take it apart again. maybe i missed something on the rebuild. it sad to think that after i was so carefull i screwed up the ribbon cable. if that fail ill try tmobile..

I'm experiencing the same thing. Were you able to resolve the issue by re-seating any of the cabling, or doing a hard reset? I don't have warranty on it so I may just have to replace the cabling if my futile attempts of fixing what I have now finally sinks in.

I took it apart one more time and with a magnifying glass reseated the ribbon. Looking at the ribbon closely there is nothing wrong with it. I looked everything over. still no keyboard. i hate giving up but at this point i have nothing i can do over to get this to work..

Ill probably sell it for parts now. :mad:

I have a problem with my keyboard I have an azerty keyboard but now I use an english rom (and the phisical keyboard is on qwerty). How Can I remove my azerty keyboard to my pda ?
Thx..

you can always use the herald service manual to disassemble the device, remove the keyboard, and replace it with one salvaged from a broken herald or something, but you run the risk of running into the problem detailed here.

What you can also do is use Duprade's keyboard fix and create a custom patch for yourself and just learn to use Azerty. This is alot easier than the above process.
