Unclip the bottom plastic part and peel off the keypad. Its just stuck on with not very sticky glue.
Replace it with a new keypad and the jobs done.
Takes seconds to do

Another place you can find Dissambley guides is YouTube,
I found a process for my ex- N80 on there

Hmm that is hardware work now... If you have the original cover from W580 and keypad too (full housing) it should work, but first check if there are differences between them (even very slight ones), If they look 100% the same, it should fit the S500 housing on W580

Hey,
Your phone looks great... i tried this program called XS++ but that didnt work for me... mabey it might work for others... just google it cause i forgot wer to get it.
I'm going to change my keypad cause mines just started cracking on the 4 number kinda sucks but oh well.... eventually im going to upgrade to the w595 and sell mine somewhere. the w595's a great phone... and also has the flash lite themes too so that'll be fun...
