Dear all,

I am new to this forum, and am currently having a problem with my Curve 8900. It was previously water damaged, however the indicator does not show that it has been in contact with water, but even so the phone was left in rice for over a period of time.

I am able to start it up via putting the battery in and then being directed to the menu. From there I can scroll 360degrees, but none of the buttons work (this includes keyboard, lock button, volume buttons, mute etc) and I cannot click with the trackball.

Is there a working fix for this problem? Or should I say which parts need to be replaced? I'm hoping it is not the motherboard...hard to find.

If any more detail is needed please let me know. Any help would be appreciated thanks!
