dont know if u ever drop ur phone but the keyboard has a plug and if it rattled loose this is an easy fix. only if you are not under warranty and dont have insurance...otherwise do not try this at home.

pm me and i can walk u through it.

Oh SNAP!!
I thought i would have to go out and spend money on a touch pro 2 or touch diamond but that simplistic keyboard thing worked!!

I much rather spend my hard earn money on the HTC EVO!

I've tried everything on mine, but I can't manage to get my Touch Pro KB to work anymore. I've opened it up and reconnected all the ribbon cable, but nothing. I would have no problem replacing the keyboard if I had one to use, but the only ones you can find are on ebay for about $40 a piece with no guarantee they even function. Also, does anyone know if there is a difference between the form factor of a Sprint Touch Pro Keyboard and a AT&T?

Most people who talk about this simply give up and exchange with the carrier, but I have a non-standard contract situation and can't perform a simple return. Any replacement phone will have to come out of pocket, and be a complete nightmare to activate.

If anyone here has a busted phone, but a functioning keyboard I'd be very interesting in taking it off your hands.

Make sure phone is off. Okay button, volume down, then power. That's it. 2 hands, 3 fingers, 0 stylus. That's it.

I have the same problem with my htc tp i tried the space bar but it didnt work i bought it used so no coverage I also tried the hard reset and had to pay again to have it flashed to cricket any other sugestion this lady at cricket told me that she could replace it for $35 but it does turn on, the lady that i bought it from said that it happened to her she took it to a friend suppossedly there is a ribbon that comes lose under the space bar that is why sometimes pressing hard helps but i guess not always

Yep, me too. I was supposed to go back into the store in 5 days to swap out for a refurbed replacement, but I don't want another- I want the one I have to work. The spacebar fix will hopefully get me through until the Windows Mobile 7 devices are known and available so that I can make an informed decision on what to get next. Thanks to all who've contributed to this thread!

listen if you take the back of the phone off and take the 4 screws out dissasemble the keypad bacl\k where the battery is. dont rip off the connection bands or your screwed, you will see 3 diffrent gound tabs under the keyboard usualy they are bent too far down not makeing contact from pressing hard on the keys. bend them back up so when you put it all back together they will touch the back side of the plates. fixed my girls phone try it and let me know if it worked for you
