Motorola Razr - Keypad Doesn't Work

Hello, I own a Motorola Razr V3 and the only key that works is the on off button. I have never dropped it, it was working fine for a year and one day it just stopped working. The screen still works and I can answer phone calls by opening the flip part, but I can't call anyone or text or anything that requires pushing a button unless it is to turn it on or off. Can anyone help me?

    I tried, but didn't work...Any further suggestions??

    Thanks Marisha. Somehow, the phone suddenly started working properly before I read yours. May be I pressed the keys unintentionally :))

    Key pad went dead. On-Off keys work, but all other key non responsive.

    Hasn't been wet or dropped.

    Yes, I have same problem with Motorola RAZR V3 when the keys stopepd working (froze) and if I pushed them the browser would come up. The problem was solved by blowing hot air from a portable heater tothe phone (remove battery and SIM card first), and then blowing the back and front of the phone with moisture free air. Prior to failure the phone was exposed to humid atmosphere.

    Yes, I have the same problem. I had it in my pocket today, but then it rained pretty hard and got a little wet...not soaked, but wet. I have a feeling some of the water seeped into the internal parts.

The phone is locked. It should let you press the unlock code. Default is 1234 but some companies use the last 4 digits of your phone number. If you can't figure it out there are outfits on the internet that will unlock for $7.50.

Motorola razr v3 keypad problem!!

Press all of the buttons and keys on the phone one by one with it powered off and the battery out. Make sure they all feel normal to the touch and when pressed. Check the buttons on either side of the main display carefully, as these tend to get stuck more than others.
