I have a water damaged blackberry 8520,seems to be working fine but the top 5 buttons dont work(i.e menu button,call and hang up button,cancel button and centre button)also the touch sensitive jog control works ok but when i push it in to select something nothing happens.any1 have any ideas what might be the cause and is this easy to fix??

you need to reprogram it.

Fortunately your phones is not in locked state, if your phone in lock state you must unlock blackberry curve 8520 by typing any password 10 times, it will erase all your data and after your blackberry unlocked you.can setup new password again. But if your A button still didn't work, it seems you have hardware problem and you must bring that blackberry phone to your nearest local phone repair shop.

Not too sure unless I saw it but sounds like it might be a software issue.
You can try to do a Security Wipe of your handheld and see if that cures it.
Keep in mind you need to back everything up before you do that since everything (email, contacts, calendar, pictures) gets cleared and restored to factory settings.
Backup with Blackberry Desktop Manager:

1. Open the Blackberry Desktop manager
2. Plug in the USB cable to your phone and computer
3. Click Back up now

Wipe the Blackberry:

• 1. Go to Options
• 2. Security Options
• 3. General Settings
• 4. Click Menu button
• 5. select Wipe Handheld
• 6. type in blackberry to proceed

Try the camera now. If the camera is still not working then it might be faulty hardware and should be covered under warranty (assuming you did not damage the phone in any way)
Hope this helps.

my blackberry curved 8520 toggle button doesn't work. how do I fix it.

Try MENU button Go to APPLICATIONS Look for the SMS & MMS icon select it just moving the touchpad over the icon press MENU button again MOVE TO FOLDER ROOT
Hope it helps!

dont put it in oven!
sounds like water damage,
remove battery & place it screen down under a lamp.

the heat will evaporate the moisture in phone.
heat on battery is a good way to half life then.

hello.

this problem occurs when the Phone's Firmware is corrupted, in order to fix this problem you should update your phone's firmware, it's easy just look through the link below:

8520 Software Update.

just re install the blackberry operatind system software into ur fon from ur computer................and go on ....................or u can take off the battery and put it into again and press the return key when the red light goes off and till ur cell completly opens dont leave the return key..............it opens ur cell in safemode and u can deal with the error in safe mode

Unfortunately you can only copy them one-by-one...go to your address book, select the contact you want to copy, click the menu button and select "view"...then press the menu button again and select "Copy to SIM Phone book", this option is the very first one up.

Hello,

loose the phone and dry it with little heat2.

The water is not fully dried, with time the button would respond again.

Take care.
