Buttons... What's wrong with them?

They just don't work.
Any of them - except for the power button and directional pad.

Windows doesn't do anything when any of them are pressed (2 exceptions above).

But... this isn't a hardware issue - I have no trouble using the soft buttons to execute a hard reset... and no problem with the camera button to enter bootloader mode.

I've reflashed roms, done multiple hard resets...
And I don't know what else to do.

The touch screen is fine - but the new dialers in most of the custom roms have done away with the on screen End and Call buttons making the phone fairly useless with those roms...
Any thoughts on this?
It's not under warranty/with service (i.e. no insurance) right now...
>_<

Mine did this, too. After a reflash it worked for about 2 weeks and all the buttons died. I tried EVERYTHING. They replaced it under warranty even though I had insurance. I would get insurance on it and then claim it...that's your only real option IMO.

That's really weird.
It's like the flash isn't restoring the drivers or something.

It's good to know it got it to work for 2 weeks once...
I'll keep trying things...
Thanks for the input.
