touchscreen not working anymore :(

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

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?

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?

After searching for answers... Screen taps not responding

Hi there. I picked up an important call whilst in the shower. Very little water fell on my Kaiser but I belive that this caused the screen to stop working. Or I have dropped it as well.
Now I tried the business card remove dust particle trick. Didn't work. So I disabled cube / Touchflo. Then I reinstalled my ROM. Basically, I can't align the screen... I tried using the Remote Screen Alignment tool as well.
What's weird is that when you leave the phone for a couple of seconds, the battery conservation feature kicks, and when I touch the screen, the screen powers back up. So I know the screen works but just not properly.
Do I have to replace my screen (or just the TOUCH component of it)? I'm not too good with hardware but can I take it apart and fix the problems?
EDIT: For those facing similar problems, use the trial version of SOTI Pocket Controller to work on your Kaiser remotely.

I'm sure someone knows what to do... please help.

I had the exact same issues you were having, I had to send it in finally so I hope it is warrantied.

nope, its out of warranty. I'm thinking of using pocketpctechs or some other similar service. Any suggestions?

I would just order a new screen and replace it yourself.

Did they replace the entire screen or jus the TOUCH component? I heard that the TOUCH surface is way cheaper.
Also, I'm not too sure how to replace it myself.

when my tilt was in warranty they just gave a new device but on the call they said the screen was dead even though it displayed and had minimal responce.
I could be wrong but I don't think it would be easy (if even possible) to replace just the touch surface of the screen.

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?

X1i Touch Screen Stopped working??

Hey guys,
I've had my X1i for a year now. No hard falls most falls are on soft surfaces. & Suddenly today morning woke up & the touch screen isn't responding. So I looked up posts, some said turn it off & turn it back along with removing the battery & it should work fine. Tried that, worked for a bit then stopped working again. Also tried soft-reseting & gave the same result. So is there any other method you guys know ? I'm thinking the other type of reseting..forgot what it's called but that'll delete everything so i gotta back things up first. So any solutions? & thanks in advance.

Have you got a screen protector on it? If so, try lifting the edges of it a little.

Nope, no screen protector. Does it have to do with any .cabs i've installed before ? Or they're not related? Is the battery related? Could it cause something like that?

I once run into the following, it may help you too:
after installing an app(from a cab) my screen was allmost non responsive.
Calibration didn't help.
I have "Advannced config" installed, uppon checkin the sensitivity it was waaaaay down, even under default.
Hope it helps for you too =)

i had the same problem to on my proto x1
it completely stopped working and i tried everything (reflash rom, boot android)
but all without luck so i bought a replacement screen
after a while my touch screen started working again but still occasionally fails
i have not yet replaced my touchscreen, i am thinking about a loose connector or something...
btw i was on official r3 fw

here is one thread about it, there should be others if you search some more than I did
and this would be a means to get a new one (official site, similar price), if it really is the cause and you don't like to tinker
cheers and gl

If your LCD is working, then it could be bad digitizer like mine instead of the ribbon cable. (Well, I use X1 a lot in humid place like bathroom.....). Just pay a few extra to buy the LCD+Digitizer for about ~$30 that will save you a lot headache for just the digitizer alone. There's a thread in X1 accessories forum.

htc tytn ii touchscreen

I have Alex's Rom on my htc. It fell off my hand and broke the lcd, tried to replace it myself could not so took it to the local shop in Houston. They charged me $100 and replaced it with a new one. It was working fine for 2wks then i started having touch screen sometimes works sometimes does not issue. Could not even do ALIGN. The shop said that the screen and the flex card is fine but motherboard is messed up since he replaced it with his new one and it works.
I have already spent money on it and wondering is there any way to fix the touch screen without replacing motherboard. After he put it back I do not have any touch screen capability at all. He said he cannot do anything about it.
Need your suggestions what would you do with the device since without touchscreen it is very hard even to make a phone call with Alex's Rom since i cannot press any keys when the contact shows on the screen?

There is no way I would have spent $100 on this old phone. Get a new phone .

Yeap, too much money. With that you can get a cheap old and good kaiser in ebay if lucky.
