Samsung S300 Keypad Not Working!! - GSM-Forum

lilmanj · 08-20-2004, 02:04

Hey everyone, I've had this phone slightly over a year and all of a sudden the keypad doesn't work! I cannot press any buttons... the only thing I can do is take out the battery (which powers off the phone) and then put it back in and turn on the phone. That's the only thing. When the phone rings I can flip it open and talk... somebody please help me. This phone is like my life =*( What do i do?!

Check Magnetic switch.. It controls the keypad, LCD, LCD Backlight.

There is a black littel 3 legged component that reacts on a magnet. If it's broken the LCD and keyboard will not work. It's located at the top of the keypad.
