Hello folks: sad day...
My PDA2k's screen started to not respond to touch all of a sudden. I tried a soft reset, and then a hard reset. This does not fix it. Of course, now I am stuck at the Windows Mobile start screen (the one that says "tap your screen to set up your Pocket PC"), and of course I cannot make it any further than that.
Any help you can think of? I am trying to get a hold of imate tech support, but the prospect of having to send it away for repair is really frightening.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

i have the exact same problem now..
please help??????
did u manage to fix it?
Pockets of air under the screen protector and/or mis alignment of the screen protector can sometimes cause a touch screen to stop responding.
So if u have one applied, try taking it off to see if that fixes the problem.
tried that..not the case..still isnt working
Hay I have same problems litle diferents bat same.
Das anybody have idea vats happened. In my BA, half display doesn’t work (left) right side work.
Incense I perform hard reset system hold in tach scrin and cursor in right side work perfectly in left side work only
if I put pensile 5-6 sec. and again etc.System is that point hold and doesn’t work butscrin.
Thanks for your tips. My touch screen went dead on my BA over christmas. I was about to junk it until I peeled off the protector skin as suggested. Now it is working. Thanks mate
I got this problem yesteday, so i desided to try disassemble, my blue angel to check how deficult it would be to change the touch panel before i cheked the price on these panels. It showed to be a little hard to take it of, so i just assembled the "angel" agian, and miracules the touch now works fine, and I only adjusted the cable a little, but maybe this made the connection better. But on the hole I'm glad that I put it together agian before I bought a new panel.
Unfortunately I don't know exactly what did the trick. But it may be worthwhile to disassemble and try to make the cables sit a little better, and then just wish for the best outcome, of course if you are not sure how to disassemble divices like these do not do it, as it can make more damage to your blue angel, so even a professional technican can't save it.
suggestion
i had this problem but if you already back up your system in a sgt file on your pc then you can connect your BA with activesync and restore your system i don't know if you have backup file
Hey guys I have flashed my Kaiser with a clean rom last night, everything went awesome, phoned work excellent just the way I wanted, and my hands were wet as the phone rang and now all of a sudden my Touch Screen doesnt work, nothing seems to be wrong with the phone itself, everything is still displayed on the screen.
Now I might need to send it back for repairs, but I reset to factory defaults couple min ago, and it says "Tap screen to begin" and I can't get any further?
Active sync or nothing works in that stage, how is it possible that I can flash my kaiser back to factory defaults if this is the case?
Isnt there a way of skipping that "Tap screen to begin" message?
Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated.

Yo thanks man,
I have flashed my phone back to HTC's rom, touch screen still doesn't work, I can use the phone now again, I have skipped that process where it asks you to align the screen to begin with a program called Code Factory's Remote screen alignment (RSA)
Now I'm in Bahrain (middle east) at the moment, I bought the phone in South-Africa where I used to live, So I'm gonna have to use the phone for a while until I can send it in for repairs.
So just have one more problem, I can't seem to change the Main volume in the taskbar without using the touch screen, Is there any other way of changing the volume, coz I cant hear my phone when it rings at times.
Shot guys,
to adjust the volume, move the trackwheel up or down during a call, so you're gonna have to call someone.
as for vibrating, you've got me there
Man,that must be a pain that touch screen doesn't working.
Try googling MyMobiler, install on your PC, connect your PDA and it will autoinstall itself to your PDA too.
Run MyMobiler on the PC. Next thing you know you can control your PDA without even touching it at all ;-)
Cheers!

or get mDesktop form the net - it will give you remote desktop capabilities to your PDA + much more ....
yo guys, just wanna let u guys know, the problem sorted itself out, in the future if you guys experience the problem, put ur phone close to a TUBE T.V, and let the static fix it for u, I was busy trying to get this OLD t.v sorted out in the Hotel where we are living in Bahrain, and I couldn't see at the back, and I used my phone as a flash light to see what's going on lol, and then my Touch screen started working again.........anyone care to explain this..?
Phone is in complete working order again, happy flashing for me once again hehe.
Man, I had the same problem and I was quite desperate. I was going to replace my Vodafone 1615 (the brandized version of Tytn II) when I found your post.
I put the phone near a CRT Monitor and then magically the touch-screen was working again!
Thank you to disclose your experience.
Can anyone explain why this might work?
I had the same problems. Touched yesterday mine htc kaiser with wet fingers and the touch screen did not respond. I thought that is the same problem with humidity that I had in Amazonia. That time it got solved by heating the phone with notebook. Pillow - kaiser - notebook for few hours :-D
But this time heating did not work... With doubt I approached old CRT tv and static energy from it SOLVED mine problem too. I am happy that I did not throw it away after buying LCD one. This is the time when new technology needs some old school energy :-D

Did you have the phone off or on , did you touch it to the screen or side of tv, and how long did you hold the phone there, this would be awesome if it works, I've been freaking out the last couple of days.
me too! i brushed my phone around the tv for 30 seconds.. no luck...

Static can kill touch screens
I killed my old WM2003 device by sliding down a plastic slide with my kids at the park.
Hi folks!
I had the same problem: change my at&t tilt rom/radio/spl to htc.
result: touch screen does not working!
The only way that i found is undo changes:
1º - installing and using: Remote screen Alignment to skip the first screen calibration. Just power on Tilt and wait until activesync are connected, so, run "remote screen alignment" and click skip, if the phone does not restart, do a soft reset.
2º - In the next power on, use activesync to copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your phone.
3º - use the buttons to navigate and execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on the phone. (to execute JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe file use the ENTER key of the sliding keyboard).
4º- now just replace RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_.exe (OEM ROM i think)/ bootloader spl1.93.0/1.56 (maybe the screen problem occurs due the wrong spl/rom combination or newer spl like 3.28/3.29 ).
After these steps my AT&T Tilt touch screen is back to work!
Now i'm ready to try others roms again !!
PS: Sorry for poor english, if anybody don't understand anything just ask!

thank you so much for taking the time to post your solution! My kaiser was dead after it got soaked in vinegair..keys were sticky, device wouldnt charge or even turn on..
what i did is put the kaiser in a bowl of water and let it rest for a few hours. Then i took it out and put it in a bowl of uncooked rice (rice sucks up water!) and let it rest overnight. My kaiser came out great with everything working fine except....the touchscreen wouldnt respond. I flashed several roms but all to no avail.
I then followed your instructions and miraculously this strange at&t rom brought my touchscreen back to life!
So thanks again
I just got my NAM Touch Diamond today, and i've been using it all day. A little while ago, i went out for a short time, and when i got back home, i was flipping though my recent call list, and then i tried to go check exactly how much battery power was left.
The phone froze. Havent loaded any programs on it, except for skype, and the FM radio fix.
Well, i soft reset it the phone, and when it booted, i got the "touch diamond" black screen, but then i started getting all these weird multi colored lines on the screen. I could hear the little boot up sound, but all that was on the screen was the multi colored lines.
I soft rest the phone again, and it booted just fine.
Why did this happen? Is there something wrong with the phone? i can call and exchange it if there is.
Its got the factory 1.93 rom on it, i havent messed with anything yet.
Please advise, thanks!
Also, to be clear, its not that red blue green hard spl screen. it was thin vertical lines.
and it only did it that one time.
Any help is appreciated
some problum with cold boot maybe!! u shouldnt worry cuz it didnt happen again!!!
I've got the same problem. ROM Shaks.P v4.10 2.03.405.3 WWE; rdio 1.09.25.23
i am having problems with my touch screen on my other wing there is no respone at all. can anyone help at all?
did you flash a custom rom? have you tried a hard reset? the same thing happened to me when i first turned on my wing i had to hard reset and its happened after flashing a new custom rom also just reflashed the rom and all was good, also iv heard that the touch screen can just go out then you have to replace it, but i dont know much about that
Do you have a screen protector on? The last time I put one on, I had pushed the edges of the protector under the edge of my phone. The result was my touch screen would not work.
I recently upgraded my kaiser with a cooked ROM (shifu 10) radio 3.34 i guess. It worked good. After some days it started giving problem with touch. The right soft key was working continuously without even pressing it. When this happens the power button also stops responding , so i have to pull out the battery to turn of the phone. Then i loaded it with original HTC ROM WM 6.1 radio 3.28/3.29. it worked fine for some hours then the problem re appeared. then after some hours the lcd stopped responding to touch , it responds sometimes.. The keyboard worked fine. Then i went to HTC customer care center. They said LCD needs to be replaced. After getting the LCD replaced the problem persisted. what could be the problem???? Please help...
Have you tried...
Have you tried realigning the screen found in setting/ screen/ align screen?
I had an issue similiar at one time, my stylus really wasnt working well at all i was having to push hard with my fat fingers for touch to work. realigning solved my problem. Worth a try.
When i re installed ROM, i couldn't align the screen properly as it was not responding to touch. I'm sure it's not screen alignment problem. Why didn't touch work properly even after LCD REPLACEMENT?
Check this out. I believe this is your problem.
