If the phone still works, check to see if the left side of the hinge (when the phone is open and facing you) is loose. If you can wiggle the top 1/2 of the phone, the hinge is damaged, therefore damaging the flex cable that runs through it. If that is the case, replace the hinge assembly and the flex and you're good.
The K1 is no joke to take apart. Flex replacement requires full disassembly. I would recommend checking out
www.wirelessunlimitedinc.com, or
www.myspace.com/wirelessunlimited to have it done professionally, less than Motorola will charge you.
Or give it a shot if you want, you need a T5 Torx and lots of patience and care.
