Introduction

If you are having difficulties using the keyboard on your BlackBerry Curve 8900, this guide will walk you through replacing the defective or faulty keyboard.

A functioning keyboard will input information when you press the keys into the device. However, a defective or faulty keyboard will not process the information inputted when keys are pressed. Keyboards can start to fail over time due to consistent use.
