Recently my Tilt started acting up, when in Portrait Mode the touch screen does not work. But when I slide the keyboard out and it goes to Landscape Mode the touch screen works. What could it be?
I performed a Hard Reset to try and fix the problem..
but nothing. It still persists.
Any suggestions and information would be appreciated.
This could be a problem with the cable connecting the LCD to the main unit... i think its called LCM connector or flex cable.
This cable has to move everytime you slide open the keyboard, so after a lot of use, the cables dont last and can cost LCD not working, touch not working, earpeice not working, LED not working, etc... could be just a loose connection also.
Have it checked out... and hope its something else not the cables

I just upgraded my Rom for the x time, this time my touch screen will no longer work in landscape. I downgraded to a ROM that used to work, and on that ROM my touchscreen also does not work in landscape mode. Is this a software thing or a result of throwing the phone against the wall to many times? i guess it's time for an 8525....
Any ideas how to get the touchscreen working again?
e.
same problem for me !
It's not switching to lanscape? While opening keys? Or just turning off?
If it's able to be switched with software way (Settings -> Screen -> Landscape), then this is a hardware problem.
Wizars has a magnetic sensor to detect keys sliding, try to check it (use an external magnet).
If screen turning off after sliding the keys, the flat cable is damaged.
My kaiser's touch screen suddenly has aquired an attitude. Some time it works, some it doesn't. When I touch nothing happens. Also when I slide open the keyboard, it works, but as soon as I close the keyboard, it stops working again. When I reboot, the screen works, but it stops after some time. Then it works if I open the keyboard. I have done hard reset, but that hasn't solved the problem.
Is there any thing I can do to fix it.
Now the touch works only if keyboard is open and doesn't work when closed. Any tips (already did hard reset twice).
With more research, the touch screen works but only when pressed very tightly at the point shown in figure (See red circle). Is there any solution to this ?
Will this get fixed if Change LCD ? Or can it be fixed by tightening some screws ?
Hi, after days of searching here and the www. Help in this situatin is much appreciated, I replaced screen ribbon due to fault when pushing out keyboard (screen having lines or black). Now phone vibrates on power up, after a few miniutes when keyboard slid out keyboard lights up only , nothing else works.
Tried hard reset, obviosly blind due to no screen. Replaced old ribbon but same fault?? activsync also not connecting.
Eventually sorted it, Ribbon was damaged. Replaced with another purchased ribbon and now functioning correctly HoooRay

It's a hardware problem, your flex cable is worn out.

I didn't say your keyboard or screen was broken. I said the flex cable was.
The hardware problem is the cable that connects your keyboard/main unit and lcd screen together (the flex cable). So your keyboard 100% works. Your screen 100% works. But when you slide open the phone, the flex cable stretches. Since it's worn out, some connections break when it stretches the main board can no longer send signals to the screen, so it appears to freeze. But the keyboard (and everything else) still work, so you can still type, only YOU CAN'T SEE IT since screen can't get any signals from the board. When you slide the phone back, the connection is restored and you can see what you typed.
Hi,
Xperia X1 is three weeks past warranty. Touch screen suddenly stopped working; Display screen still works fine with keyboard in or out. All hardware buttons and keyboard buttons worked, phone worked OK, it was just the touchscreen that was dead. Never had any display problems when sliding keyboard in and out like I have read in here.
HOWEVER...
My mobile Tech Support told me to reset and now all I have is the initial Windows boot screen that says 'Tap the screen to setup...". WTF? Of course when I tap the screen nothing happens.
Is there a key or button combination I can use to invoke the setup routine? Is there anyway to connect it to a PC and control it? Be nice to get the phone back to working, I can live without the touchscreen for now.
There could be an issue of the flex cable being loose. You could try and open your X1 and re-attach the flex cable and hope it solves the issue.
There are some videos out there that shows you how to do it
