This afternoon a my friend Cathy came to my house to get her v3i fixed.
Though i'm not a profession, i can flash, edit seems etc on a motorola L and V series phones. She complained that the keypad "2" is not functioning properly. I checked her phone and it was indeed not functioning as it is supposed to. Repeated typing of number "2" was the problem. At first i though of opening the phone and cleaning the keypad. So i headed to my PC and opened google. i got the Information that i wanted.

I saved the webpage so that i could refer to it later.
Next, i thought why open the phone when it may be a software problem. remembered that i once unlocked a V3 phone and after a successful unlocking the keypad was not functioning so i flashed the keypad fix. SO i searched for the fix file in my computer. After 5 mins of search i got what i wanted. I flashed the keypad fix flex.
Here is where i made the mistake. Afeter Flashing the LCD is not working anymore. I realised that v3 and v3i flex are not compatible.
So i made a backup of the full flash (firmwire, flash, flex etc...) with Flash & Backup. then headed google again for a new original flash. I came to know that v3i have 2 main version one with itune and the other which they call it DAP (i don't know what this is).
My phone is a v3i Itune version. I searched modmymotto, motox, and other motorola modding sites. It was very difficult to get. At last i got R47A_G_08.D9.3DR_REFLASH_JOKER from here which was the closest to my current version.
I downloaded for 2 hours with my airtel gprs connection and then flashed the file. To my surprise my problem was still there. i called up my frient zoliana (co-founder kolasib.com) as he is a Motorola Handset expert. He came within 5 mins and together we worked, searched the net for forum posting of similar problems. Cant find a good result so i posted a new thread here . They refered me to http://www.motox.info/showthread.php?t=47350 .
I went there editted the seem and eventually it (LCD Problem) was fixed. Now at least the phone is at the stage where i got it.
I followed the instruction on how to open the phone. I opened the phone and found that there was a scratch behind the Button "2". I removed that and assembled the phone again. Hurray its working now.
Thanks goes to Zoliana, google, and friends at modmymotto.
It took me the whole afternoon and evening to get this fixed

@ anonymous : it was not a file just some seem editing,,,, as i have mantioned that it was not my phoen and so i dont have the file anymore and unfortunately motox.info too is in the process of rebuilding. Can you try posting at modmymotto i'm sure u'll get help there,
I check my old folders and found one seem file. I've re uploaded it at http://rapidshare.com/files/149029622/004e_0001.rar you may check... though i'm not sure this is the correct file
