    Greetings, blackberry 8310: some keys are not working, now normally I would think it's because it has gone through some rough punishment, but odd enough, sometimes they work. The Keys i'm talking about are the Z-C-N-M-SPACE-RIGHT SHIFT-LOWER VOLUME keys, but, when I press Z like 10 times it starts to work, so does the C, and then the N and M and SPACE, and what's even weirder is that when the keys do work, they work without any problem whatsoever, I think it's a software problem or something or an OS problem but I'm not an engineer, so I dont know. Any help at all would be much apreciated and thank you in advance

    Probably not, if the damage has already done because the contacts are part of the mainboard.

    I have the exact same problem with the same buttons. I have the blackberry 8300 unlocked in asia but I dont have any bb plan so I dont have any service warrantee. I have already tried hard reseting numerous times and even software reset, still not working. the strangest part is that I havent exposed my device to moisture.

    does anyone know what to do?

    Do a search of Crackberry for "cleaning keypad with alcohol" or some variation without the quotes and read the posts.

    i am guessing your BB motherboard is damaged, but cleaning it with alcohol is worth the try.
