Broken Touch screen - To install or not?

the deal is I dropped my phone and part of the screen in the center is not sensitive anymore. (at least I assume that it is because I dropped it anyway, maybe I got it wet, I dunno... the guy is a warrior)
I have WM5, wizard love ROM, which I installed before the screen freaked out I think. I can't align my screen anymore because I can't click the center of the screen in the alignment process.
I can't remember for sure, but I think I aligned the screen before while installing WM5... I don't know if there's something like that or a way around it in WM6.
I really wanna try the new sweet OS but I don't wanna lose my phone in the process. Yes, I will be repairing the phone sometime or maybe I'll just get a new one, but right now the only option I have is to use it this way.
Anyone has any advice?

This happened to me as well.
I would not flash as the first thing you do after flashing is an alignment. Somebody may post a way to bypass the alignment, but I do not know how.

help..stuck on align screen even after rom upgrade..
after hard reset my htc got stuck on align screen stage..i upgraded my htc touch hd to a new rom..topix wm6.5 sense 2.5...it ws successful..but again after reboot the phone hangs on screen alignment step..i just keep tapping screen again and it never aligns..i cant get my phone started even now with new rom..pls advise what to do next...my touch hd is still dead..help me revive it...

If your HD is not responding when you try to align it, it may be that your touch screen isnt working, not that it has crashed. flash a stock ROM and try to be sure.

i think, your touch screen has broken, you can't do anything except replace the screen & touch screen with the new one.
it's happened with my hd too.

touch screen problem even after new rom!!!
Hi everybody. I have skipped screen alignment and my home screen opens with new topix rom wm6.5 sense 2.5. But again some of the touch feature works on the screen and some not(even at the same screen location!). Also on the home screen touch scroll, if i press any icon phone keeps goin to the last icon of settings and doesnt scroll back to home. Also the four feather keys below screen doesnt work. Hence I cant still use the phone..Wat could be the problem? Some say touch guard causes problem or the cables inside phone gets loose..Changing Touch screen of HD is very xpensive & nt readily availabl too..So i want2 try evrythin b4..pls answer..

May be Stupid.. but give a try
Hello,
Your post was 2 days before, i am not sure whether your problem got fixed.
If it is not.
1. Switch off your Device.
2. Remove your SD card
3. Press and Hold the Volume up and Down button, while pressing the volume up and down button, press the power button.
4. Now your screen will show whether to perform restore function, now press the volume up button.
5. After completion of the restore function your device will start normally.
6. Once your screen alignment done.
7. Switch off the device, install the SD card and just switch on the device.
if the problem is not found with out your SD card, then that might be some application issue or the SD Card issue.
cheers,
Rainbow

Read about Task29 and read the dummies guide.
As suggested, try a hard-reset (or better use Task29).
If you still have the problem after that there is probably something wrong with your screen.

still stuck...screen alignment problem or rom...
Hi guys..I am still stuck with my touch hd..even with new rom phone is just a showpiece..cant figure out wats the problem?? is the screen alignment gone or is it a software problem..touch hd touchscreen is v xpensive and my phone is out of warranty...so wan2 try anything n evrything if possible..pls help..for detailed explanation pls read my earlier posts!!! nd help help help....

Dude try to pay attention, download a stock 6.1 rom from htc web site, remove your memory card and sim card, hard reset your device and load the stock winmo 6.1 you downloaded. even after that if problem remains .. there is definitely a hardware problem then.

And first before everything else... what version of SPL you have on your device????

Guides already exist for upgrading to wm6.5 in the stickies at the top of these forums. Please follow guides and post further queries in relevant thread. No need for another thread

very strange brick type issue

ive got a weird problem with my g1.
turn it on with screen open, backlight. turn it on with screen closed, no backlight.
the moment i close the screen, backlight goes off and re-opening wont turn it on.
It stays stuck in the g1 logo. i CAN get to ASR and i CAN get to multicolour recovery screen. flashing new roms etc doesnt help. ive searched my head off but can find nout. i was going to just replace it but i cant find anything as good as the G1 (kb is the most essential thing ever)
this is wifes fone, so resolving it is of upmost importance
thanks for any advice.

after much flashing woes, i got a 1.6 stock image on there. boots now, still has the back light issue. when u close the kb, the os still works, just no more backlight so very hard to see.

Sounds like it's hardware.
99.99999% of the time these types of issues will be related to hardware. MAYBE you MIGHT flash ONE ROM in your LIFE that causes this issue - and then switching to a different ROM would fix it. Best bet if you still have warranty is to get a new one. If you don't - open it up and see if you can clean it.

its almost certainly hardware, i agree. its so weird. if the screen is only 90% closed (ie, you can stil see most of the spacebar, the screen is flipped currectly as if it was 100% closed, but the issue doesnt happen. its like there are TWO switches for closing/opening the screen, and the second breaks stuff
im very tempted to just jam something in the mech so it never full closes. ugly but effective.

Well, if you have warranty I'd just get it replaced. If not I'd still open it up to see if there is anything obvious. I would be hesitant to jam anything down there and end up breaking it even more.

not under waranty unfortunatly. I shall open it up once i get one of the bonkers screwdrivers i need to open the darned thing.

HTC Digitizer problem (?)

Hey there everyone, thanks for taking a look at this post and (hopefully) someone can give me a bit of advice on the following problem:
I got an HTC Pure through ebay for a friend, said it had a touch screen problem (usually no problem, I just replace the digitizer when I see it). However, after I installed the new digitizer, the touch screen doesn't work except after doing a hard reset, and ONLY works with the touchflo moving through the different categories (left to right and vice-versa). Only the top half of the screen works, and it looks like it's controlling what should be the bottom half of the screen. I'm unable to get into the screen calibration settings because if I move out of the original touchflo screen (i.e., hit the hardware windows button or another hardware button) then there's no touch screen responsiveness at all. I already flashed an original stock Pure ROM, still no difference than before. My question is thus:
1. Can the screen calibration settings be accessed through a registry editor? And if so, can anyone provide some better settings?
2. Is this just a hardware problem and can't be fixed through software tweaks? Would flashing a different ROM possibly help?
My goal is to eventually unlock the Pure and install a Spanish language ROM, but I'm not going to put more money into the phone unless I can actually use the touchscreen correctly.
Thanks for any response!

Get an emulator such as Pocket Controller or My Mobiler and access the screen via your PC.
Run the screen calibration and see if that fixes it, if not its likely hardware related.
Not sure where in the registry calibration setings are but you should be able to find it with a search.

Thanks, I'll try that and I sure appreciate the quick response. Can't do it today but if it works I'll post and let everyone know how to fix it if they somehow encounter the same problem. Thanks again!

Inactive touch-screen, any way around?

Hi,
Problem:
My phone isn't rooted. No other ROM installed. Not flashed. Not bricked. Works perfectly, except the touch screen is dead. I have set-up a patern to unlock, which I can't unlock... so I can't use the phone.
Is there a solution to this issue?
I don't want to install another touch screen, just delete the whole phone and not set-up a patern to unlock. I tried to search for
- RSD lite since that's the only thing I can work with and it's easy
- "unbrick" my phone
- a similar topic like this one >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845912<
No success...
Greetings.

well you can fix teh touch sreen (buy a new one and replace it - it's easy),
but i don't want to do that, I just want to disable the touch screen (no pattern lock). I actually want to format it, so i need to restart and i wills kip the pattern lock

Anyone with a tutorial?

No tutorials?

Sit down and seriously think what you are asking and what your phone does.
If you wipe phone you would need to 'Touch Screen To Start' so that option is out the window.
To get rid of the lock pattern you need to enter the lock pattern first, reason being for security.
New touch screen or nothing, sorry.

I have a similar situation. i am trying to sell it cause i bought another phone but need to factory reset or delete all the info from this one. cant even get pass the unlock pattern. its a motorola cliq. please help

You're right,... Bummer! I'm sitting down and speculating. Seriously, no work-around?
Isn't there a costum ROM without the "touch to start"?
