Guest topratty Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 after buying a replacement keypad off ebay that had the same problem although it was supposed to be new i had a spare keypad to play about with. i sprayed the joystick part with some screen cleaner (which i had already tried but it didnt work the first time) then i got a soldering iron to the 6 solder joints on the joypad, i didnt add any solder just to re-melt the solder that was already there. put it back into my phone and everything is working again. YIPEE :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Nice to hear, interesting that the replacement was also faulty, did you ask for a refund? Dry solder joints or cracks in the solder can be hard to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest topratty Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 i didnt notice the dry joints but with a spare to play with i didnt have anything to lose, tried searching for a circuit diagram for the keypad so i could use my multimeter to i check properly to see wether it was the joypad itself or the pins in the connector but had no luck, so i tried all 6 connections on the joystick i can play my games again (roll on virtual pool mobile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
