    Well, alt.cellular will work, but I added alt.cellular.tmobile because I know
    T-Mo sells the phone (I just bought one from them)

    On a non-membrane keypad? No.

    Nokia 6133: Sudden Total Touchpad Failure?

    Not only did I post this on alt.cellular.cingular by mistake,
    I even got the model# wrong on that post.

    SHB here... so here it is...
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    I've had plenty membrane failures with other phones, but the
    pattern has always been that one or more keys slowly get flaky
    over time until some just don't work - and if the membrane is
    inspected, it's visually apparent that it's worn for those keys.

    But my relatively-new Nokia 6133 doesn't fit that pattern.

    One day I tried to press a key and got no response at all....
    nada, zip, bupkis... even with repeated pressings. Turns out
    that all of the keypad keys are similarly affected - including
    the "Select" and navigation keys.

    Anybody heard of this?

    Probable causes?

    Per Steve Sobol:
    >On a non-membrane keypad? No.


    Is that to say that my 6133's keypad is non-membrane?

    I'm probably using the wrong terminology.

    I also own a PEBL and it has the flat keypad that most Moto handsets do now.
    The Nokia actually has buttons. I think. I'm not completely sure.

    Took it to a retail store.

    Rep yanked the battery, replaced same, started it up, and it
    worked a-ok.

    Some kind of software problem is my guess.
