SE w795, a part of keyboard stopped working

Hi! I have a Sony Ericsson w705 (http://superinfotechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/w705-x-3.jpg) and all of a sudden some of its keys stopped working. The same thing happened to my friend who also has that cell phone. I don't know what to do or how to fix it or how it got messed up in the first place. Now I can't even turn it on cause I can't confirm my PIN. Any suggestions?
