Ideas to Fix Physical Keyboard? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My HTC Dream works perfectly fine, except for this irritating issue of the "DEL" key being not sensitive to the touch. I usually have to press it a few times before it registers. I think it is a physical problem. Does anyone have ideas to actually fix physical keys on the keyboard? Would appreciate any solution (besides sending the phone back that is). Thanks.

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...

Malfunction Keys

Hi,
I have a Att Tilt running on WM 6.1. I recently broke my LCD but I ordered a LCD and replaced it myself. Everything works fine except the slideout keyboard. The majority of the keys work but just "some" random keys that do not work. They are not in any particular pattern. For example, the key "s" does not work, "back space" doesn't work, the "Fn" key doesn't work, along with maybe 5 other keys. Any ideas? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.
The ribbon cable that connects the sliding keyboard might be damaged -- or just not seated properly.

Kaiser Woes

Want to see if any other Kaiser users have had these two problems and if they have any fix:
1. Keyboard buttons aren't responsive (about half), meaning you have to press them hard for them to work. I'm suspecting this is from the sweat when i'm at the gym but then again it could be a keyboard aligning problem.
2. When I slide out the keyboard, the screen flickers in two places in a circular manner.
I know both are hardware issues so if anybody has any ideas, i'd appreciate it.
I have the same problem with unresponsive keys. I've had it a while and I've never used the keyboard with wet or dirty fingers. A friend got the same phone at the same time and has always had a more responsive keyboard, even from new.
If anyone has any ideas on fixing it, I'm all ears.
I'm curious, has anybody fixed their Kaiser's keyboard with the keys needing to be pressed hard in order to work?
Hard to press buttons
Im assuming it just needs cleaning out but any other ideas? Going to look for guides to take apart just hope it doesnt void a warranty
spray some windex on it.

Were you successful in doing this? I don't mind opening up the Kaiser, I just want to know what i'm doing and what the culprit is.

[Q] Hardware Keyboard Help

I have some issues with my D3 hardware keyboard. It pertains to simultaneous keypresses. I found a great setup for the keyboard for emulators and for the most part it works fine. The phone can handle simultaneous keypresses all day, as long as you press the second button while already holding the first. If you press them both at the exact same time, neither will register at all. It screws me up big time when I need to make diagonal movements suddenly, which is a pretty common scenario in console gaming. Can anyone suggest a solution to the problem or possibly explain why I am having these issues?
I am mapping the dpad to the alt, voice command, shift, and z keys, and i the action buttons are generally mapped to the arrow keys and surrounding buttons. When playing I bring the slider down over the first second and third rows of keys so I don't ever have to look at the keyboard.

Capacitive Buttons Broken, but Home Button and screen fine?

Hi, as described in the title, I have a OP3T, where the capacitive buttons no longer work. As in they do not respond. Interestingly, the home button works just fine. Does anybody have any idea what's going on? I have done a factory reset but it doesn't seem to be a software issue. I would really appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks in advance!
Well, the capacitive buttons work on a different pressure sensor, whilst the Home Button has a different one, since it has a fingerprint sensor in it. There's probably a malfunction in the pressure sensors, so you might have to get it replaced.
