Alright, I had a customer that came in today with a SLVR that had some water damage. The phone actually was John Mellencamp's wife's, if any of you have heard of him.

Unfortunately, neither of them came in, but instead had someone come in for them since it was during normal business hours. But she dropped it in some water and the keypad doesn't respond, so I asked if he wanted to donate it. I decided to take it on as a project to make it work again.

Here's the deal, the phone powers on and loads up fine, screen works and everything. The problem is the only button that it responds to is the End/Power button, so all I can do is turn it on and off. So I'm thinking that the board under the keypad got shorted out and I want to replace it, but I can't find one on eBay or searching Google. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find one. I don't want to spend too much as this is just a little project I'm working on to get more familiar with cell phones. I do plan to use it as my COU if I get it working though.

This is the current condition of the phone:

Now I just need a T3 Torx to finish the job.

Thanks a ton. That's why I love this forum: Quick answers when you struggle to find them yourself.
