Dead keyboard on Treo 680

[David Cantrell]

Bah. The keyboard on my Treo 680 seems to have died. It powers on when
I press the red button, and the centre button works to do the keyguard
thingy, and the four application buttons also work to power it on, but
no other buttons work at all, and the application and power buttons
don't work again until after it's powered off.

Thinking it might be a software problem, I did a hard reset, but then
it got stuck at the screen for picking a language - same symptoms as
before. Again, after I let it power off, the necessary button *did*
work, once. I'm now hotsyncing all my data back to the phone, but
having no keyboard is going to be a pain in the arse.

Anyone got any suggestions for how to fix this? Or anyone in the UK got
a working 680 in good condition that they want to get rid of?

Turned out it was a stuck key, all working again now.
