The tope left button with the 3 lines isn't working. I haven't dropped my sidekick OR have gotten it wet. I can't even press it and t he back button to unlock the phone. I can't press it to create a new message either. Whenever I do press it the call log button may open up or the soundprofile box will open. Then whenever I try to scroll with the ball it will just go from the top to bottom. the only thing that has been working is if I turn the phone off then turn it back on and then I can only accept a call or maybe make a call or text BUT when I go to touch the top left button it messes up again!!! I have taken out the sim card and battery and let it
"airout" a bit but it still keeps doing the same thing!!!

To clarify, are the 3 black lines horizontal (left to right across entire width of screen)? or are the 3 black lines vertical (top to bottom across entire height of screen)?
Horizontal lines are almost always the result of a failed panel, and no board replacement will fix the issue.
Vertical lines such as you have described (only 3) are probably also a bad panel. If the black lines were evenly spaced in a repeating pattern, it could be a mainboard or TCONN board.
Has this panel been cracked? or perhaps cleaned recently with too much water or cleaning solvent that has gotten the screen wet?

call the sidekick help line, (number is on tmobile.com site) they give you a hotkey to fix this, and the ball if it sometimes quits working you might have to change the sensitivity, or the tmobile hotline the guy will ask you to send it in
I found this guide online. Please let me know if this works!
"1) Insert the ATT SIM card into the back of the T-Mobile Sidekick ID (it should be located behind the battery).
2) Turn on the Sidekick ID, wait for the screens to load.
3) When the screen says "Waiting for Activation", hold the top left button (the "Menu" button with the three lines) on the Sidekick ID and hold the letter "L" on the QWERTY pad at the same time. After a few seconds, let go of the buttons.
4) If Step 3 is done correctly, the Sidekick should be directed to the jumpscreen and display all of the Menu's of the Sidekick ID.
while your on the privacy lock you press the call button 2 times, then the emergency call shows up , once that shows up yu press the menu button (the top left button w. tha 3 lines) while holding shift & Q .

pretty simple, the menu button which is the botton on your sidekick marked with 3 lines, one under another. (top left hand corner of face of sidekick)...your questions seems like you want more to add tho
The keys may have gotten dirty. So when you push one, it also activates ones near by.
These tips apply to the trackball but you can also use them for the keyboard.
1: Take a deep breath and blow on the trackball area, rotate and do it again. This may blow any particles block the sensors.
2: This requires a Q-tip and some alcohol. Turn off your sidekick, wet the end of the q-tip, and gently clean the trackball while rotating. Be careful not to get the alcohol on anything but the trackball. Let dry for a minute and try it out. If this doesn’t work then try again.
