Sounds like K850. Try to run SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) You can find it at the sony ericsson site. It might work.

I think it's a hardware problem, if you feel confident try taking the phone apart and gently cleaning the 3 touch contacts on the phone's keyboard PCB. If this doesn't fix the problem, buy one off somewhere like Ebay (usually about a tenner), they're fairly easy to fit.

Have a search on the forum, there should be some disassembly guides or links to guides on here to help you

Hi Wak,

I had the same problem with my K850i. It seemed to be the keypad membrane that had broken. You can find a good K850i disassembly guide here:
Sony Ericsson K850i disassembly
Or if you don't have the right tools a Torx 5 and 6 driver. Or don't feel confident enough and live in the UK these guys offer a k850 keypad membrane replacement service with a really fast turnaround...
Sonyericsson K850i Keypad Membrane Replacement Service

Good luck... Cheers Norm
