    BlackBerry button issue
    Hello all,

    I've had my BB for nearly 2 years now, not had any issues.
    About 3 days ago it started being odd, every time I try to type 'e' or 't' it would keep typing 'r'. Also if I click on 'r' it types more than 1. The letter 'r' and 'e' are not making the normal clicking sound when I press down making me think that maybe they are stuck. Yesterday the trackpad also started being weird, if I scroll down quickly it just keeps scrolling and won't stop unless I press the back arrow.
    I've ordered a T6 screwdriver thingy so I can open the phone up.

    Possibly you got it wet or used it whilst eating food so something could jam it, seeing as it is fine today maybe the thing jamming it is now out, x

    Today it is even worse lol 'r' not working at all. If I turn the phone off, can only turn it back on again by doing a battery pull
