FUALTY KEYPAD!

[Troopie]

Can anybody help me with my problem with my keypad on my Motorola E398?

Out of nowhere my joystick started to give trouble and now it keeps scrolling down without me even touching it, and coz the jostick is now constantly in use i cannot use any of my other keys on the phone, unless i counter scroll up with the joystick, it is a very old phone and i dont know how to fix it is there anyway to fix it without taking it to get repaired. also long ago i put on themes and changed some files but  it did not give me trouble until now and i have reset and cleared my phone and it still does it.

If anybody can give me any advise please?

nah - hardware faults like that happens and usually you can't fix it without replacements... Try a service shop - they can sell you and replace with a new keypad pretty cheap

Try 2 clean up your phone, if its not help, just do what Exploited said.

Firstly check to see if it's hardware (t6 torx screwdriver needed) if it isn't to be then it's most likely software
