I just recently bought a Pearl through ebay (huge mistake!). It's my first blackberry and just as I started to really enjoy it, I came across a big problem. The menu button, Esc button and End call button are not working.
I do notice that when I have it on the call screen, the buttons work but not properly. For instance, the menu button types out "We". The Esc button types out "Xx", and the end call button types out "7".
Did I do something to enable a certain setting, or did I just get screwed?
P.S. I did try taking out and putting the battery back in. Nothing!
Sounds like something sticky may have spilled into the keyboard. You can remove the keyboard fairly easy. You can find instructions here to do that and if worse comes to worse, a new keypad isn't all that expensive providing that is indeed the problem.
