BB keys not working/now not switching on

I'll try & explain it as clear as I can, a few things seem to be going wrong!

 

I have a PAYG Orange BB 8520 & last night the whole thing went a little mad.

I was typing a message & I noticed when I pressed the keys, the wrong letters were showing up.

I tried to switch it off, nothing - so then I pulled out the battery.

 

It waited for it ot reboot & the same thing happened. The keys weren't working correctly.

Tbh, I cba last night, so I did switch it off in the end.

& hoped for the best in the morning.

 

This morning, it did switch on. But this time I noticed the 'A' key wasn't working.

So I couldn't lock the phone nor type the letter A.

 

I pulled the battery again it & I left it about for a while, about 30mins.

& yet again, it didn't work.

Waited for it to start & again, this key wasn't working.

 

I switched off (not taking the battery out) & right now, the bloomin' thing won't switch on!

It only will if I take the battery out & then it starts back up.

 

What can I do to get it working the way it was?

 

Thanks.
