blue angle siemens SX66 power switch problem. please help

hi. My sx66 got problem with the power switche. I can not turn if off.( it only works for turn on and off the backlight and turn on the pda) Also the 4 buttons (start menu message, internet exploer ok/close) do not work propertly. Otherwise everything is working well. Can someone please help me what to do or what wrong with the mainboard? Thanks!

I have had the same problem, it was the small circuit board that controls the cursor. Unless you have parts you will need to send it in.

hi Cruzzer,
Can you tell me where the small board located. Does your pda have problem with the power switch? Thanks.

Dear Cruzzer,
You are right. I just fix my phone. Thanks for your help. luckily the guy next door have 2 boards, I tested both work 100%. he charge me 15 dollars for one. If you need one for your phone, let me know.

HTC TyTNII Button 5 not working

Hi all,
Just got my TyTNII yesterday to replace old O2 Zinc.
Everything was good, until i found out the button 5 (originally assigned for program camera) doesn't work.
I try to assign button 5 another program but it just doesn't work and when i reassigned button 6 for camera, button 6 works fine.
Everytime i press button 5, the response given is backlight will turn on, button 1 to 4 light will also turn on. but just that, the program assigned doesn't run.
I really don't hope to bring it to Service Center, as in my country, for PDA, even we claim in the same day we purchase, we won't get any replacement, and it will take one month (more) to return and sometimes just to let u know they didn't do anything. My previous O2 Zinc was also the second unit.
Help me please.

Keep it assigned to camera, but keep pressed a little longer to lunch the camera.

Hey I got my TyTN II yesterday, quite excited about the device. But I have the exact same issue. Did anyone else run into this problem? And any solutions for it, or should I ask for an exchange? Help please.

Ths button is a dual mode button for the camera. Light press to autofocus then deep press to fire.
If you re-assign it you need to press deeply to activate

Thanks for the reply, that was silly of me just figured it out.

Thanks for the reply.

Need help with problematic keys on the face of MDA Vario III

Hi Everybody,
I've got a MDA Vario III bought back in Dec, didn't had any problems till now. But yesterday my MDA didnt started and when it did, I came up with problematic keys on its face !!!
The Keys for: Making Call, Ending the call, Windows Key and OK key on the face of the handsets, when pressed overrides the function of itself by the function of the key near to it !!!
For e.g. If you press Call button, it will automatically start calling the last number (which shouldn't be the case, it should just open the dial pad!) and on top of that it opens the Contact (which is the Key beside Call button). I've tried formatting the handset twice and I am no way pressing the two buttons at same time !
Please do help me to find where the problem lies and its solution. Its kinda urgent please. Thanks in Advance

Please Help Me Folks
Please Help me folks, what can I do with it to get it working properly ?

try SK Tools I always use autoclean and free-up RAM and that helps me settle this sort of problems. It actualy does the same as a soft reset.
this was the lazy version of the answer

Kasier buttons not working - FIX

The other day all the hardware buttons on my ATT Tilt stopped working - just power and camera would work. The rest would do nothing except sometimes the dpad would open the start menu. I couldn't even answer the phone as the green button wouldn't work. The keyboard would not work either which made email a pain. I did not drop it in water, it just stopped working.
Tonight I loaded the trial of AE Button Plus - google or search XDA for their site. I reprogrammed all the outside buttons on my tilt back to their original use (not hard at all) and even upgraded a few buttons. Now all my buttons work great and the keyboard even stared working again!!!!!
I am not affiliated with them at all, but I saw some others of you with my problem. This is a much cheaper solution than getting another phone. To buy the program it is about $7, but there is a 14 day trial so you can see if it works for you. I was about to replace/upgrade - but now I can keep usingg this awesome machine!
(I do notice some minor lag sometimes with the buttons - but just being able to use them again is well worth it for me!)

hard reset?
if the issue was fixable after installing some software (ae button plus), then i guess a hard reset would have worked also...or better yet, flash another ROM while you're at it, preferably one that is cooked to a medium golden-brown texture by the finest chefs this side of cyberspace...
<Drooling-Like-Homer>MMMMMMMMM ROMMMMMGHGHGHGH !!!</Drooling-Like-Homer>

Maybe I was didn't say it well enough...
It is funny that a software fix would work, my guess is a hardware problem with the phone, but the software is a workaround for it. They keypresses were there, the phone just didn't know how to handle them. If it was a driver issue - one of the roms should have fixed it.
Maybe I was not clear in the first post, but the buttons did not work. When you pushed the power button, keys 'wszx' would type in the phone - evidenced by it searching for a contact that matched every time it powered up - power button or slideing the keyboard out. The only button that worked normal was the camera button. They keyboard was completely unusable - no response on the machine. Soft buttons = nada.
First I tried a hard reset then I flashed at least 8 roms and about 6 radios. Nothing worked. Even started a post on a touchscreen only rom and basically found what would work without buttons.
In my search for the fix in the last two weeks, I basically came to the conclusion a new phone was in order. Now I have a bit more time

Weird Kaiser Hardware Button Failure

Hi all, please can you help me with this!?
Firstly when my phone boots or is taken out of sleep mode it immediately activates voice record as if this button has been pressed. It then opens the dialler and types ‘EDFC’. If I open pocket word and then wake the phone up it also types ‘EDFC’ before doing the above.
My keyboard is not working and the only hardware buttons that function are the power button (only for a while), the camera button and the silver select button in the middle of the d-pad. The jog wheel and silver directional d-pad buttons occasionally come to life. The others don’t work (green call and red end buttons, ok, windows etc).
When I use the standard keyboard SIP on the screen the directional buttons and delete do not function?!
I’ve reverted to a stock ROM to make sure this isn’t the problem.
It appears as though my Kaiser thinks these buttons are being depressed, but I’ve checked them and they click normally and release when pressed (even though they don’t perform a function) so nothing is stuck down etc….
I’m going to use AE Buttons to try and unhinge the button functions for now, but it would be great if someone has any suggestions!!
Thanks in advance.

Update - AE Button won't unhinge the buttons or change their function to anything else (e.g. nothing). I can't stop this from happening every time the phone boots/wakes up!
Help!

Mine got the same symptoms last week except it opens quick something or other,and then the dialler dials 2547.The screen for my pin then comes up,which I can enter normally.Home screen fires up normally but the keyboard will not work or any buttons except the silver one in the middle.Searched a bit and this problem is very common although I cannot find a solution anywhere.Can someone please help

AE button didn't work?
When mine did that, I reset all the hardware buttons (not the keyboard, just the buttons reachable from the outside. A soft reset and viola!
That's the only solution I have. It's worked for me 2x.
Also try pulling the battery for 20 seconds or so and restarting. That has fixed my touchscreen not working after it gets spashed 3x. Yeah, my phone is old and abused, but keeps working.

Thanks for your replies - I've got Orange sending me another one in the morning now and sods law it's just stopped happening.... Taking the replacement anyway in case it happens again.
For my knowledge, how did you reset the buttons? I deleted some registry keys to completely stop them working (although I couldn't find the registry keys for the red and green buttons).
Searching on Google there are quite a few reports of this, but no one has ever posted the cause!

I am having the same problem... please help. My phone is going crazy. I did a hard reset but still didnt solve the problem....

I am also having this issue. Phone starts typing EDFC and then initiates the voice recorder. I reflashed various ROMs and regardless of what was flashed.. initially they appeared okay, then it started happening again. I also tried hard and soft resets. Nothng has worked so far.
I resorted to disabling the keys and some of the applications which I dont use which appear to be getting started/run (Voice recorder for one). So far I havent had the issue, knock on wood.
I think this is more than likely a hardware error. My tilt is actually pretty old so I wouldnt be surprised. If someone finds either the cause or a workable solution please post. Im trying to hold off until January when my contact expires to get a new HTC.

I searched and searched but found no solution for this and ended up getting the phone replaced.
HTC seemed to know nothing of such a problem....
Have you tried whacking it?!!?
Hope you get it sorted.

Hmm, yes, but I don't see how that helped my phone.
lol, all jokes aside, my friends, I ask in this thread as well,
what is causing this problem? I ran into this issue after ALL my buttons stopped working (except for the power).
I installed a new rom (I forget which one), and still nothing works except for power button.
It would be even better if someone knows the solution!

-Calling for Help-I'm still convinced it is a software/registry problem...
Okay, so there's no solution available for this weird problem of ours.
On the bright side, however, it is amazing that we can still use the phone, even after it requires servicing (some way or another). I have accepted this handicap that has been placed on my phone for now, simply hoping it will grow out of it one day.
But something isn't right. When I looked in the registry (trying to follow some directions I found within the wiki for when your keyboard STILL doesn't work properly), there was a discrepancy between what was supposed to be found in the registry and what was actually there. It wasn't that the values were wrong, it was the names of the values that were different. Why could this be?
Or even if you have moment of time, and you have an AT&T Tilt, and it works perfectly, maybe you could write up a run down of what you have hanging around in that section of the registry?
Hey, just so I can be sure, is there some place I can cross check what I have in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP with what is supposed to be there in a fully functioning AT&T Tilt?
