The keyboard is dead. The only button who work is the Red button (to start/shutdown the phone). Smart button (or what's his name), Camera button, the number buttons, Call button, nothing works. The red button is on another circuit? My phone is locked? It's my only phone, i need the phone and tomorrow it's Sunday (i can't send my phone for repair)

Try to restore old bakup(full) if this does not work for keypad I do not know what can.

If you do not have full bakup tell so I'll tell you what to do next

Yes it is conected like USB cable to a PC ju just pull and it goes away you put it back by just bushing it in place. If you want a movie showing how to do that tell I'll make one

You can try to force BootLoader by holding *+# buttons and connect a cable of your battery charger. The mobile should start in BootLoader mode and you should have no limit tilme to disconect charger and connect USB cable or you will see if it is a Low Battery error

What can i do? Some tests or... something
LE: and another manifestation: my SIM card is dead. If i remove it and i put another SIM, it's ok. If i put my SIM in another phone, i receive the message "Invalid SIM". The SIM destroyed my phone? It's possible?   Huh?

That keypad problem is very common(Me too had it once). It is said that the problem happens due to moisture in the keypad. Many suggest to leave the battery from the phone for some 24 hours and it will be all right(For me,that did the trick). Else,clean the keypad with distilled water or alcohol.

Remove your E398 housing and slightly bend the mboard to the right. It worked 2x for me. I suspect the replacement housing is the culprit.
