My palm centro fell into some water last night and now none of the buttons are working the touch screen works. What should I do? Can I take off the keypad so I can try to dry it out under there?

try clearing up your web history, sms, or unwanted software....on the browser, click on blazer top left corner, click on history and clear all..tested if it doesnt work back up your phone and perform a master reset

You can try to take the keypad off and see if that works. It sounds like the board that controls your keypad might be ruined. If you can't get it to work take it to a cell phone shop and see what they charge. Be sure to shop around and be sure to tell them you are doing so. They are competitive but also overcharge people when they know they can.

Hello hyuuga4567,

The keyguard feature might be accidentally enabled. To turn off Keyguard, do the following:
• When the screen is off, press the red power button to wake up the screen.
• Press the center (Palm) button to turn off Keyguard.

You can change how quickly Keyguard turns on, or you can disable this feature altogether. To change the Keyguard settings, do the following:
• Press the Home button
• Select System from the category drop-list at the top of the screen
• Select Prefs
• Select Keyguard.
• Select the Auto-Keyguard pick list, and then do one of the following:
-Select how quickly you want Keyguard to turn on: When power is turned off, 5 seconds after power off, or 30 seconds after power off.
-Select Disable to completely disable the Keyguard feature until you turn it on again by pressing Option +
Power/End when the screen is on.
4 Select Done.

More information about the keyguard feature canbe found in the Palm Centro User's Guide:

With the phone screen showing, press the red button at the right-hand side and hold it for about two seconds. The Centro should display a "Welcome" screen, then after a few seconds the phone screen should reappear with the carrier name at the upper left instead of "Phone Off". Each time you press and hold the red button the phone switch on/off..

Some phones have a keypad lock so you dont accidentally hit the buttons if its in your pocket or something. Maybe try to go to settings and see if there is anything like that.

it is toast, yes dropping does it, so does camping, (moisture). if you got the insurance then you are ok just go replace it cheap, and pray tht you can get your data on the new one.

if you have it under warranty, take it to the service center. If at all there is an option of totally shutting down the working of keypad, check that in the user manual. and if not, check out the way to the service centre.

Pls first hard reset ur phone like this if it doesnt help then go to AT&T it is a possible Touch Panel Failure they will do it Free if u are aunder warranty i think u are

The Centro and Treo are virtually identical. Have you tried reinstalling the applications from scratch on the Centro (vs. relying on Palm synch to automatically synch all applications)?
