"Bad news everyone"

For some odd reason, all keys on my (flipless) P990 have stopped working. This includes the thumbpad, the back-, camera-, and online-buttons. The jog dial does allow me to scroll, but pressing it does nothing.

I've disassembled the device, but could not find anything obviously wrong internally.

Does anyone have any ideas?

You can give it a go on SEUS or do a master reset. But anyway I don't think it's a software related problem... Check if the keys work in the hidden menu.

After giving it another look, it appears that the UI Board is broken.
This would explain why all the keys stopped working ... except for the jog dial. This isn't connected to the UI board in any way. So what gives?
