G1 hardware keyboard issues. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Damn.
Some of my keys just recently died on me on the physical keyboard on the G1.
Q, T, Y & P stopped working. I was wondering if I ever plan to flash a new ROM, where it asks to enter your google ID and password when you first set up your phone does it allow you to bring up the screen keyboard or does it have to be with the actual keyboard?

you can use the onscreen keyboard

After Dismantling Keyboard doesn't work

[Resolved] Keyboard blanks screen

Hi,
I'm using GingerDX V011. I have tried wiping but when I use the keyboard, it causes the screen to go blank.
If I rotate phone sometimes it works and if I manage to quickly grab focus from keyboard back onto the textedit widget, it holds the screen the way it is supposed to.
However, it is a bit of a pain. It has happened with the Android keyboard and I have installed Swype and I get the same result and that is the keyboard I usually use.
Anyone else have this behavior and know how to resolve?
Fixed this, it was Xperia Arc theme issue on X8.

[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.

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.
