Nokia N97 Mini constantly pressing 'J' button

Hi, basically my problem is in the title, my phone is continuously pressing 'J' and I cannot stop it, even when the slide is closed and often when they keys are locked. I have NOT dropped the phone or anything like that, I go out of my way to keep it safe and this problem emerged on Thursday when I recieved a message asking if I wanted to auto update. I said yes, it apparently had installed the update but then hours later this problem starts so I look online the next day and thought i'd try and manually update the firmware, which told me I did not have the latest firmware.. So I installed it, the problem remained. I look around and see that a lot of people have resolved issues with a hard reset, I have also tried this and it has not fixed my problem. What can I do?

I've bought the phone off eBay (brand new) will that make a difference? and are self-caused software/hardware this common in this handset? As i've paid a lot of money and otherwise really do like this phone.

Will do, just quite frustrated as I go out of my way to make sure the phone is kept in good condition and something like this happens which is the kinda thing i'd expect to happen if I dropped it or something. Thanks anyway

Yeah the phone was absolutely brand new when I recieved it and I have been using it about 5 weeks and taking a great deal of care of it. I'll see what Nokia say, altho I don't fancy spending more money getting it repaired...

If it was brand new, I think your phone will be within warranty even if it's from ebay.

I had purchased a Philips product from ebay once and the customer rep at Philips said yes, it has warranty even if you buy from ebay.

Good Luck!
