I accidentally dropped my phone (k750i) at work today onto a hard surface, and it took quite a whack. Also, unfortunately as you will find out, my phone reset at this point. I have a SIM lock and my keys on the row 7, 8 and 9 won't work at all - all others do. Problem being one of those digits is in my passcode. So now i am completely stuck. Is my phone beyond repair?
Thanks

Well, initially to get around not being able to access your phone at all I would suggest putting your sim into a spare phone to disable the PIN and then return it to your k750 so you can still use it, obviously any input would be a problem though...
To solve the problem with the keys not working I would first take the front fascia off the phone and ensure the keypad pcb is properly connected to the main board.
Hope this helps

Although the actual PIN is stored on the SIM, I was under the impression that it is a phone setting as to whether it asks for the PIN. Therefore, I don't think that will work.

See if the Volume UP and down works?
It might require a keypad IC change.

as zaxan said., just make sure that the keypad pcb is properly connected to the main board., because i had a similar problem with the camera key after i dropped my k750. i gave it to a service center and had the key properly aligned.. now it's working...

Thanks for the replies. The worst thing is happening at the moment, though at the time of posting my phone 7,8 and 9 weren't working properly, I decided to charge the phone with it off and when I switched on, it was working fine. So I thought that was the end of the matter.
Then last night I went to use my phone and it was even worse! Not only were 7, 8 and 9 not working, it was constantly typing and deleting random characters off the keypad. So I left it last night and today it seems to be working again - and has been all day. But whether it will stay that way, I have no idea. How do i take it apart?

@Sebby, the PIN is definitely set on the SIM itself as I have previously done what I suggested before and it did work as I described above
@alex_ncfc, I would suggest checking ebay for a new keypad PCB and also a total long shot of flashing the firmware might just be worthwhile

@zaxan - will have a look around on ebay to see what I can find. Also I would like to flash this (my current firmware is R1BC002 - isn't this quite old? And is a newer version recommended?) Cheers
