Anyway, regardless of that sticker, get Nokia to look at it first. I guess that sticker is there for when the whole phone fails to work and a tech can quickly guess what's to blame. If only one thing doesn't work then hopefully that's a different story.

If they won't/can't fix it then someone with good torx screwdrivers will at least be able to clean and re-seat the hardware button ribbon connector quite easily.
that sticker is there to identify only and only the liquid or moisture exposed to device very quickly at a glance. I've had phones before that were exposed to liquids but not close to the sticker and they were fine at looking but eventually failed to work or didn't work. Trust me on this when i say that the sticker turned from white to pink is an indicator of water/liquid/moisture exposure to the phone (3 years making a living with mobile phones)
