6680 Problem: Key 3 is constantly on

2 replies · 2,198 views · Started 13 June 2007

The number 3 on my keypad is constantly on meaning i am just getting 3333...etc
on my screen. I've taken the keypad cover off but the button isn't stuck in.
Any ideas as to what maybe causing this and any solutions?
Thank you.

i had a problem yesterday where my 5, 7, 0, 9 and red phone keys did not work; i reset the phone 2x with the power-up-while-holding-the (*, 3, green phone) -technique

that erased all data but my phone works again

...alas, new problems with keys have emerged i.e. the left soft key is intermittent

this same thing happened to my Siemens SX1 a year or so ago and it became unusable; i wonder if this is a Symbian thing

when i can find a friend with a PC who has bluetooth i will upgrade the firmware which has never been upgraded...
