Introduction

The keyboard slider slides out from the right side of the phone to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. The main use of the keyboard is for texting, as well as all typing on the phone.

The keys should type out the correct letter when typing and not repeat letters when pressed once. The slider should smoothly move in and out of the body without catching or sticking. If these symptoms are present, then the keyboard slider needs repairing.
