Well I took mine apart and it didnt seem like the cable was loose but I sort of pressed on it anyway and put it all back together. Started it up and the keyboard is working again....

I rarely use the hardware kb, i looooove the T9 though ;)
Truth be told, i only got the TP cause the Diamond didnt have a mem slot, and that was important to me.

I've had no problems after liberal application of electrical tape. My mom's even survived the drop test without the keyboard failing. I need to take mine back apart and tape the little cable going to the keyboard itself. That's the one that I had the most issue with on my mom's phone. Retarded design. I hope the TP2 is better.

Yeah, this might fix some of them, but there's still some out there that the only way to fix them is with a keyboard replacement, or phone swap.

I think the ribbon cable leading into the keyboard is prone to tearing and this may be why some have issues that are not resolvable.

if my keyboard works sometimes and sometimes doesnt, will this fix work?

Re: hardware keyboard issue photo essay a.k.a. i was bored
 

Probably, if its a hardware issue. These cables are so touchy and come loose so easily its nuts.
