LG Shine key pads not working at all!

Hi there,

I have a brand new LG Shine KE970 and the other day I took out the battery and when I put it back in and rebooted the phone the keypads completely stopped working. The only thing that works is when I slide the phone open and close the background lights turns on and off.
Besides that none of the number buttons, menu, contacts buttons nothing works.

Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

    not one single key works, on the keypad, on the side of the phone where the MP3 and camera buttons are, those don't work, none of the functions on the phone work.

    How would I disassemble the phone and clean the PCB ( I don't know what the PCB is...)

  • phoenix38 May 19, 2008

    Highly doubt I am capable of doing that hehe, I'd end up breaking it even more!

    alright, thx.
    How positive are you that's the problem?
    I'll go to a repair shop asap.
    If it helps to your understanding, like I said none of the keys work but the scroll wheel in the center works by opening the messages and voicemail and setting ring tone preferences but still I can't select the menu or item I want from there.

    Thanks for the help

    I just got the LG Shine, and it the keypad doesn't work at all. When I first got it, all the keys were working fine, I even took a picture of my sister with it...I shut my phone off so it could activate itself (I JUST got it) and when I turned it back on, nothing works. The only thing that works is the off/end call button. The number keys will work if I'm holding down the end call button, but other than that, nothing works :( It sucks. Please help

Possible any of your keys are sticked. may be on keypad or in side keys. Check those first.

    Disassemble the phone. Clean the PCB. May this can help you.

  • Anonymous May 19, 2008

    You need appropriate screw driver for unscrew. You can buy on market. PCB means Printed Circuit Board. That is the main board where all parts are located.

    Bette go to a repair shop. They can do that for you.

Hi
All you need to do is to put off your phone,remove the battery and sim card then loose the phone with a phone screw driver,insert a plastic tool to seperate the screen from the motherboard,remove the old screen,be careful not to scratch or smudge the new screen.

Then place the replacement screen back into the motherboard,then fix the front cover and couple back the phone.

Enjoy your newly repaired screen.
BEST OF LUCK

Brand new phone freezing (LG KE770 actually)

We have a family plan with AT&T and we each have different phones: a Blackberry Pearl, an LG KE770 Shine, a RAZR and a Pantech. All the phones get strong AT&T signals at home except the LG Shine which shows no signal at all. This is true also when we go to different parts of town...all the phones get strong signals except the LG may or may not have a signal. We took it to a service center and they gave us a new SIM card but the problem remains. What could be the problem except the possibility that the LG Shine really sucks?
