D-Pad locked unless i slide open keyboard (wing)

well today I flashed my phone again (for the hundredth time...nothing new here) it was either open touch 5 lite or itspoppa rc5 that i had when it started...but my directional buttons on the d-pad went out 1 by 1 over the course of a few hours. i thought my up button was just broken at first...until i realized it worked if i slide the keyboard open. now when the phone is closed the d-pad doesnt work at all it doesn't even register that im pressing buttons to extend the backlight time...but if i slide open the keyboard magically they all work?! i've flashed to t-mobile stock and had the same problem and took out the flash card and flashed to open touch 5.2 and still have the same problem. the keys work because its PERFECT when the keyboard is open? i dont understand whats going on! ive searched and googled forever and never heard of anything like this =[ idk what it could be from?! could anyone please help me? thankyou
you can delete my thread in the rom development section i didn't mean to post there.

it sounds like the ribbon cable is loose between the two halves of the phone. but I could be wrong

i'd be willing to open the phone up and take a look...had to do that to a laptop to fix the screen before the ribbon vga was loose. does anyone know how exactly to open up the wing? lol. if anyone can point me towards a tutorial thatd be great.

Keyboard Light problem

Hi ppl! I recently purchased a Kaiser replacement housing with keyboard to substitute my old and damage keyboard. I followed the procedure described in the HTC thecnical manuals and got the phone back together. After booting up i found out that the keyboard doesn't light up neither the CAPS and FN key when I press them but all the keys work! I tried the old keyboard back and works perfectly but when I put the new one it just doesn't light up... Anyone as any idea of what might be causing this problem? I suspect it's hardware problem but I'm not sure and I don't have any software that allows me to test if the hardware is alright... If anyone can help I would be very thankfull... I went through the forums and seems none eve had this problem...

Help!!!!

i was replacing my g1 digitzer. I had the guide with me still took me 12 hours to figure out how to do it. i disassembled assembled it thousand times before the slide was properly working and touch screen was functional. Now the problem is, something is wrong i cant figure out.
When i open the keyboard the screen doesnt flip orientation. It does on its own.
When i type through keyboard the buttons change randomly and they dont respond to what i am pressing
. The music volume bar shows up it self , the sound is very very very low from the speakers.
Camera still works.
touch screen working perfectly.
The trackball, menu button, and all those on that panel are working fine.
please help me fix this thing

This not the right place for this. But might have somthing to drivers? And know this probly won't help but u should wipe ur phone if you have not all ready.

Youll have done what i did when i swapped my housing round, i missed 1 conntction that stopped my touchscreen working,,, and then i realised i put the keyboard sensor on upside down :how embarrasing smiley:

actually i damaged one of the connectors on the strip of my keyboard
everything else is working now except for few alphanumeric buttons!

[Q] Problem with screen and keyboard

Hello ,
I am having a problem with my Sony Ericsson X1 , my screen the last days is black and i need to press many times the turn off button so i can turn on / off the backlight and work , but today its not working anymore this trick .... ! i took the battery off i put it after a bit time and still the same . Also i had a problem with my keyboard and screen when i put the keyboard down my screen wasnt going down also and was stacking in the normal way like having it close... !
Any1 could give me a hand , maybe any1 knows how much the screen problem will cost?
Thanks a lot.

It's a problem where the ribbon cable that connects the phone (in the keyboard bit) to the screen is worn and then it starts to have problems with the screen. In the end, for me at least, the screen wouldn't turn on at all. I just sent it to sony for a fix, and they said it was free.
That's what your problem sounds like considering the keyboard seems to be related to the screen

Certain keys are dead need help, hardware problem

Certain keys on my xperia are dead there are no response
Keys C, X, P, S, L, M
They don't seem to work even after I've changed to different roms.
I haven't used my xperia for sometime(say a month).
I've tries opening the key S, like the way you remove a key on a standard computer keyboard, but the key was actually glued to it and I can't get it back it's hanging halfway.
Is there anyway to fix the keyboard without buying a keyboard module? Please can someone help me?

you can check out this topic made by one of the members about how to clean your keyboard ... it has all the details you need to disassemble your X1 and put it back together ... hope this helps

if you took the key off then you broke it. You're not supposed to do that. You either take the whole keyboard off or you don't, because it's a one piece keyboard. Try cleaning the contacts as the glue you mentioned tends to get in the way.
However, this does sounds like hardware failure so you may have to replace the keyboard PCB.
