I was tapping away happily on my little used XDA2i and suddenly the touchscreen stopped working. There is no damage to it and I tried to soft and hard reset and nothing works.
Now I am at the opening screen after hard reset and it looks like the touchscreen is kippered.
Any ideas of a cheap mending solution?
Just to clarify - the display works fine it just doesnt respond to touch.

dude...i think the connectors must have gotten out of place from the motherboard...a simple solution is to go and hand it over 2 da nearest phone repair shop and i doubt it would be cheap so just find a way to open the pda(which is very very very simple and easy) and i have done that a hundred times and the xda2i still works perfectly..one of da reason why i love it soooo much,lol...anyways...the connectors are visible ones you get to open the back panel and see for yourself...
I have just got an XDA 2i. i got it very cheap in a not working state and the problem was as you described. The machine would power up but not accept input from the touch screen. I disassembled it, cleaned it up and rebuilt it and it now works fine. I assumed it was the connector for the touch screen. The job was quite simple but i am fairly technically competent. A replacement screen can be found on Ebay for as little as £14 GBP.
Ok, I have had this to pieces and also dismantled the screen to see what the problem might be, gave everything a wiggle and then rebuilt the machine.
Touchscreen still not working though the LCD still seems fine and so i am assuming that I haven't broken it.
Not sure what to do next as I cant find any XDA 2i touchscreens on fleabay. Anyone had exactly this problem and replaced only the touchscreen (not the LCD too) and could give me some tips. I couldnt see how to replace just the touchscreen ie where it would connect to the mainboard. Also - Stev - when you said you cleaned it - do you mean you actually cleaned the touchscreen part or the machine generally.
Thanks
Touch screen problem with no alignment
Have got 2 Qtek 2020i with defective touchscreens.After hard reset they get to the "align screen" image, and the PDA responds to the touch by moving the cursor between the 5 adjustment points - but alignment seemingly never occurs, as I can continue forever.I guess the touch screen in itself got misaligned - anyone with experience in this ? .I found replacement touch screens from Hong Kong for as little as $6.99/pc, and $2,50 for shipment to Denmark.
I have bought a replacement touchscreen from ebay, however it looks like it needs soldering at the back and the ribbon on the screen is a different layout. Anyone have any idea what to connect and to where?
Does anyone know whether the touch panel from XDA II will be able to fix to XDA IIi ? I am having problem with my XDA IIi(Alpine) it seems the touchscreen is not responsive. I have already tried opening the Alpine check the connectors it seems to be okay so i am suspecting the touch screen is the fault. I have found this website http://mobile.brando.com.hk/TouchScreenO2xdaII.php selling the replacement touchscreen but it stated there XDA II. Will it be a match for Xda IIi? Will it be easy to fix? Anyone with experience please help. Thanks.
I bought one on ebay for £12.98 that said XDA 2i and it looks like the one in your picture, which I dont think is the right one - I reckon that is the XDA 2 one version. I phoned the company I bought it from, in London and they said if I send the whole lot to them they will fit the new screen for £20 more which seems fair enough. That would mean the touchscreen fitted for £32 - a lot less than the £80-100 I've seen elsewhere.

hi there
as of yesterday i accidentally dropped a jack splitter (like this one.. (click here) onto my pda2 from 1 meter..
at first i thought everything was okay
but then i realized that the touchscreen was not working.. the buttons are working..
though i hesitated that it'd never work again, after taking my imate apart and after i put it all together it worked for 10 mins.. then it stopped working again.. this morning it did the same, worked then stopped..
so my questions are:
1. can it be something other than the touchscreen? there is a small dent on the screen but the image on my today screen is displayed correctly..
2. if i really have to change the screen where would i buy 1?
i found this one but i want to have more options if there is
http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphonexdaii.htm
thanks...

Touchscreens are replaceable but make sure you buy the correct one, as the screen in Alpine is only one of 2 that could possibly have been fitted in Himalayas i.e a touchscreen for an xda2 is not guarenteed to be compatible with the LCD you have.
Depending on LCM, you could look into a repair of the exisiting digitiser, is the screen marked in any way where the item hit it?
Richard
p.s don't bump so quickly - do your research more thoroughly - you're not the first person to suffer this problem...
yes there is a small dent on the screen
i know i searched the forum but maybe i'm searching with wrong terms.. not much came up.
i don't know any other websites than the pdasmart.....

Then you need a new digitiser, the gap between the touchpanel and glass in the digitiser is reduced where the dent is, so the resistance properties of the digitiser have changed at that point i.e it will think you are always touching that spot. You could remove the plastic overlay, heat it gently and try and bend it back / flatten it but I've tried and never managed to do it
Most places only sell the entire LCD / touchscreen assembly, cheapest I can get for an alpine is about $140 USD for the lot, perhaps check ebay for a unit with a broken LCD?

Hi folks,
I have accidentally made the horrible mistake of letting my HTC TyTn II sit in a small puddle of water over night. That'll teach me for keeping my phone and glasss of water right next to each other on my nightstand.
Anyhow... It actually still works, which suprised me. However, 2 elements are not working. Specifically:
Touch Screen is not working. The LCD DOES display the image just fine, it just does not respond any longer to TOUCH.
The reset button seems to be completely non-functional.
After I got over the initial "oh &$*!" moment, I did some searching here and about for answers. I found some references to just replacing the digitizer, which I can get quite cheap on ebay. However, I also read that it might be a mainboard problem, in which case I might as well just replace it.
So, thoughts?
Also, here is the eBay auctions I was looking into. They seem reasonable? (if I decide to go that route)

Thank you much for the couple moments of your time.
Also, in case anyone is interested, here is an interesting link with disassembly photos of the TyTn II. http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_kaiser
I have the well known problem with not working touch screen. I have read all this posts on different forums but haven't find the answer. If somebody tried already - please tell me replacement to new (lcd + touchscreen) will fix this problem?
I found plenty of screens on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/PALM-TREO-750-L...9|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50

I had a keyboard problem with one of my treo and I tried to cut up the phone to pieces. I pulled all of string cables one for the keyboard and one for the display. Cleaned all and then assembled it. It looks like workink well but the touch screnn doesn't answered. I cut up again and plug in the display cable again. It works now again.
Since then I dont cut up the phone

You know I already disassembled it and assembled it back for few times, but it still not working. Everything looks very nice and clear - like new but...
New screen doesn't solve the problem. I purchased a new touch screen (lcd + digitaizer) - it start working for few minutes, then stop again. I put off the battery an leave it like this for a month. Than I switch it on - it works (I successfully unlock it, passed f..... alignment screen). Now I use it, but touch screen doesn't work!
Please if anybody now what is the real problem, let me now.
I have the same problem. I upgraded my Treo 750 to a new ROM. It worked for a couple of hours and then it doesn't work.
I have read in a different forum that you have to turn down the screen brightness to less than 1/2 and it should work. I tried that and it still craps out.
I am also looking for a new digitizer from ebay. Would this work? Or do I have to purchase the screen and digitizer.
Would a new screen or digitizer work or will it crap out in a hour or so?
Besides getting a new phone what would be the next step for a solution?
I think it is a software problem. With WM5, 6 and 6.1 the touch screen didn't work but on the newish 6.5 version here it works just fine, all the time!
same
am currently having the same problem whaat is d solution pls is it rom WM6.5? who hav solve this problem?
The touch screen of my htc touch diamond is not working properly. It does not react to my touch. For me to get it to work I have to rub my fingers over it then it will be work again as normal. This only lasts for a few minutes after a while it becomes non responsive again. It is like it has to be warmed up to get it to work. This a problem when it comes to sending text messages. (the problem remains when I remove the protective screen).
Anyone has a answer to this?
remember the last program you installed and remove it , maybe it cause this problem
or try hardreset
Tried both methods still not working. I have ran out of ideas. Anyone else expierenced this problem?
Im having the same problem with my Raphael
To really know whether it is a hardware problem or software based problem, I recommend a hard reset and see whether the problem persists...
this is likely to be water damage on the screen. send it off for warranty see if they fix it. they fixed it for mine.
The thing is iv noticed the touch screen isn't thermal reactive like most touch screens. In other words the temprature of your finger is sensed on thermal screens, the HTC you can use anything solid that makes contact. Usefull if you have long nails.
So I'm guessing its probably hardware if it works after a while of 'rubbing' it, But like otacon said I would do a hard reset before jumping to that conclusion.
Same problem
Hi there....i saw that this is an old thread but did you manage to get it to work?
Cause i have a HTC Diamond that i changed both the displays on(LCD and the "point screen") and everything works fine on mine now,even tried to recieve phonecalls and it works excellent so as i said EVERYTHING works like a charm but the touch function.....it doesn´t react in any way while trying to use the touch function and i have tried soft reset,hard reset,new rom,checked all the internal connections around 4-5times and everything is ok but the damn touch function won´t work whatever i do with it.
I haven´t "glued" the 2 screens together,but they are sitting close to eachother so it should work anyways right?
Now from what i have seen on internet is that there are different versions of touch screens available on the market and i ordered the LCD from one company and the touch screen from another.
Could it be so that they aren´t compatible together or am i doing something wrong?
I´m still stuck at "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device" and can´t get any further after trying another rom.
Please help me out if it´s possible.
I have exactly the same issue you're experiencing, I've actual flashed the original rom, thinking that might put every settings in place to make it work, but no joy.
I don't be leave the concept of the weather condition equate to the performance of the device, as read in some of the forums. reason being I've had mine in very hot climate Country for over year whiles working on a project in Africa. In fact that was when I realised the the screen has become unresponsive.
I think this is a hardware issue.
It´s working perfect again
So since my last reply i ordered a new touch digitizer and lcd display and soldered them together carefully(first time i bought a lcd and digitizer from two different companies so they weren´t compatible with eachother and made the touch defective and second time i bought both digitizer and LCD screen from the same company and then it worked) and it has been working perfect since i last wrote my comment so i recomend you check the contacts/connections first on the phone because i had some minor issues with them when i assambled the phone again so i had to #wiggle# the contacts so i made sure they were connected.
We had a company here that sold lcd displays and digitizers out for a total of 30dollars with shipping so i had nothing to loose on it so that´s why i ordered a new set again and that made everything work as a charm since i replaced it.
Now i have searched online about the displays and the digitizers and i have found out that there are atlast three different versions of them so if you order a digitizer and a LCD make sure you atleast order both from the same company so it doesn´t happen the same to you what happened to me the first time.
Cheers and hope i helped you somewhat or else just ask on and i should try to answer.
Hello everyone.....i have recently changed my broken LCD and touch display on my phone and everything on the phone works good except the touch function.
I have checked the solderings between the LCD and touch panel and everything is ok,i have also checked the connections and they seem to be good and the display itself works with light and "pictures" or what we should call it.
Before i reinstalled the software i could use the buttons and navigation button underneath the touch display and power button/volume buttons also worked and i could even recieve a phonecall with it.
I checked so the tilt function also worked and the wifi etc.etc as i said EVERYTHING works like a charm except the touch display.
Have anyone else had exactly this problem with their phone after replacing the LCD and touch panel?
I have checked all the connections inside the phone atleast 3times now and i´m getting abit tired of disassembling the phone just to see that everything is in it´s right place.I have tried with different roms from HTC:s website also without any positive results.
I searched the forum for exactly this problem but couldn´t find anything similiar to this to get the touch to work so i´m sorry if it´s already "out there" and sorry for my "laggy" english but i´m from sweden so i hope you´ll understand.
Ok guys don´t bother....i managed to fix it on my own anyways!
Grattis! What was the root cause and your solution, eventually?
Yeah sorry i forgot to also tell the actual problem.
Well tho everything looked ok,the problem were caused by a incompatible digitizer and screen cause i got them from 2 different places and they simply didn´t matched up together as one unit.I just bought a new lcd so i can have the old one as spare cause the lcd screen worked fine but not the touch digitizer and i also bought a touch digitizer from the same company.What i have been noticed looking around on "the web" after i got this "problem" was that there is alot of different versions models and i probably got unlucky and got myself a mismatch.
On the other hand the lcd and touch digitizer was like 30bucks(338SKR) on a swedish site called "Teknikproffset" so it was well worth the money to just order new "proper" things that matched up.
Hope this answer your wonders and if it´s something else you wanna know,just ask
Hade göttans.
I see. Tack foer svara!
