Shot in the dark here. If you're getting vibrations and response to touch, my best guess would be that the screen itself is damaged. May have to get a new panel for the device. I wouldn't THINK it would be software related, but for the sake of ruling things out, what software is the device running? Custom ROM? Stock build?
EDIT: It could be a simple thing like a loose or disconnected ribbon cable inside.
stock,
it actually happened after a reset (and shipping by USPS)

This is the phone where you hit factory reset, threw it in a box and shipped it while it was resetting?
Probably the screen was damaged in shipping.

Do you still have the "Backlight" icon in start/settings/>System tab?
i cant tell. all i can see when i turn the phone on is the att logo, and i can barely make that out with the glare. then all the sounds and lights work on the keyboard and the phones face but the backlight will not illuminate. do you think a hard reset would fix the problem. i mean could it have been something i installed?
yes the backlight can still be manipulated through system settings but it has no effect on the back light

You may have to hard reset.

What about the warranty?

If you've completed a hard reset, it's time to look at getting it repaired under warranty for free. Of course if non-approved spl/ROM/Radio are installed you should revert them first but this would be tricky if you can't really make out whats on the screen - then if you can see it enough to do a hard reset....
ok guys I need help. last night I dropped my phone in the case nd the touch screen is not working. I took the screen out nd checked all the connections and all is good. what could cause this asside from a loose connection.

Broken LCD, broken digitizer, software glitch from power surge, take your pick.
Hopefully you have been backing up your data, because almost everything to try and fix it will delete your data.
A Hard Reset, reflash your rom, are the first step. These will pretty much eliminate a software fix. If these don't workit is mora than likely a hardware problem.
the actual lcd works, it just does not recognize me touching it. other than that the phone is working so should I still do a hard reset

Try a hard reset, but this will erase all your data, so back up if you can.
well I backed it up and did the hard reset, still now touch screen and I am stuck at tap screen to set up your windows mobile device screen and cannot get past it,
What do I do now????
Souns like digitizer stopped working, so a whole new screen would be the answer as the digitizer is glued to the glass very hard to replace on own, but then could be the ribbon cable or other issue.
For now to get to use phone place a file called welcome.not on storage card easiest way create new .txt pad and rename making sure not welcome.not.txt.
Don't ask how but I just took it completely appart again and checked everything and when I put it back together it is working, working on retore now so hopefully all is good.
thanks for all the help.

Might have just been the ribbon connection then glad you sorted
I don't know when it started but I'm quite sure that I used to be able to use the touchscreen with the keyboard extended. I am running the latest hboot and radio with the cyanogen nightlies and newest pershoot kernel.
Is anybody have this problem?
Perhaps I just need to reflash radio and hboot but its weird because it works fine with the keyboard closed.
Thanks for your help.

Your definitely supposed to be able to use the touchscreen when the keyboards out, That's how I use my phone most of the time. I think it's a hardware problem to me like some cable to the touchscreen got messed up so when you open up your keyboard it gets disconnected, but I really don't know could be wrong. Also, I don't see how reflashing hboot or the radio will fix it, as far as I know they don't affect the touchscreen at all.

As "Ianlikescake" Said its hardware not software. I work in a second hand phone shop & the most common problem with the G1 (Apart from people abusing this beautiful device) is a ribbon cable tears in the back when the screen has been opened & closed a lot.
Normally when it goes the touch screen goes completely but we have had one customer when the same thing happened to him as in your situation, We sent the phone off to be repaired & all they did was replace the cable
So re flashing the radio & hboot wont fix it, Sorry!

My phone has a problem not really similar but it still has to do with the screen. When i lock the phone and when I try to unlock it when the screen is down the screen doesn't turn on. But when I flip the screen up the screen turns on. Once I unlock the phone the screen works fine i flip it back down and it works untill it locks. So do you think it's a problem with the ribbon cable?

I think I have a similar issue. Whenever I have the keyboard closed, the screen will not turn on when you press the end-key. Only the LED lights will turn on. When you flip the keyboard out, the screen turns on and the phone is functional.
Over the next few weeks, I then realized that this only happens when the phone's keyboard is completely closed. If you leave the keyboard out 1cm or so (to the point where you can only see the spacebar), you can turn on the phone. Check to see if it works for you.

That used to work for me but now the problem got worse. Sometimes even when the keyboards out the screen doesn't turn on so I have to mess with the screen for a little bit till it works. Now I know it's the cable that's messed up. I think the reason it's like this is from repetitive flipping out the screen. I gotta be more careful next time if i can fix it.
Hello,
My Touch screen doesn't respond to touching since an hour ago.
I see no logical reason for this fault,
My screen is guarded and nothing happend to it.
I tried to remove battery and insert it with no luck, I booted my phone into CWM touch recovery, and it also doesn't recognize touching.
update2:
The problem appeared again.
just flash a kdz to return to stock rom

The problem appeared again I tried a lot of times to remove battery&insert but it doesn't help.
Please help me.
I've just flashed my phone to stock rom,
I'm still having the same touchscreen issues - the screen won't respond to touching.
Any suggestion please?
Is it possible that the touchscreen issue is caused because of the screen protector?

Screen protector protects screen If you have got stock FW back on the phone, just bring it to your carrier and they should do it on warranty.

Thanks for the advice,
I flashed stock rom and now when I turn on my phone It shows me the "Android Welcome Screen", Is there a method how to bypass this screen without touching the screen? (If I'm taking phone to my carrier, it might seem strange to them that my phone shows the "Welcome screen" whether the touchscreen doesn't work so they could know I flash my phone and not to accept my phone's warranty)

You can try on-screen phone, which is a software by LG, but i think, that this also needs to be setup first... Otherwise, just tell them, that you did a factory reset, because your phone wasnt working properly anymore, and thats when your error occured.
I dont see another way... Maybe repair it on your own

I'm going to take my phone back to carrier
But there's very strange thing: the touchscreen rarely works.
I removed the battery for a night and when I got up in the morning and I inserted the battery and turned the device on, for a few seconds the touch worked . What does it tell about phone?
I've just received my phone from repairing, and my touch screen has been replaced.
I'm a little disappointed because I expected for getting new phone(I have a warranty). I've also noticed that the screen is a little thicker, about few mm, which is weird.
Is it right that phone with replacement touch screen won't be as smooth and good as normal one, or not necessarily?
Same problem of Freezing screen
Disappointing but i too have this very same problem with my brother's P970... any ideas how or why?
though sometimes it would respond but leaving it a few minutes would again make it freeze. The hardware buttons work but the 4 touch buttons wont. now i cannot get thru the rom manager to make it into Bootloader mode so i can install another rom...
some things i did a few days before this happened:
1. flashed CWM recovery successfully.
2. installed a lot of apps and happened to fill up the SD card.
3. installed a new ROM Gingerbread Repackaged V20N
I can still get to S/W Upgrade but all I need is the Bootloader Mode. I honestly dont think this would be a digitizer malfunction since it works well in a given time. It's like it lagggggs much and unresponsive. I cannot get past the lock screen. Any ideas or any other way to get to the B/L mode? Thanks.

ARZAKEM i have the very same problem too i was also doing the same stuff which you atempted and end up with none responsive touchscreen.
my phone is since then lives in a my draft in the kitchen and i was also curious about the malfunctionality because it worked sometimes and other times not.
I just thumbled upon the post when i search the web i know its too late to ask but could you please please tell me what you done with that phone ???
I ordered a new touchscreen from ebay and it will arrive soon but i was wondering wether you managed to fix it or not? could you please tell me what was the real problem did you replace the touchscreen or is it not the touchscreen?

You need to indicate your current ROM. Then can the issue be accessed

Hey guys,
I've searched and tried seemingly everything, but can't find a solution to this problem. A few months ago, my cousin dropped her Z3C on the floor; the screen cracked and stopped working. I got and installed a replacement screen, but it doesn't work. When I first turned it on (after charging the phone for several hours), the display was off, but I could touch the screen and I would get haptic feedback.
When I do a soft reset (Vol Up + Power), it vibrates 3 times, but the screen still doesn't display anything. I've pressed the little yellow reset button next to the SD slot, which also causes it to vibrate, but the screen still doesn't work. When I connect it to a PC, it is identified, though no folders are shown in the device. After I used the repair function of the Sony Xperia Companion, I now no longer receive haptic feedback when touching the screen. I also tried using flashtool, but to no avail.
Can anyone point me in a direction with how I should proceed?
Thanks!
It may be a motherboard issue now,try taking the phone apart and reconnecting the screen,but don't close it fully just connect it and see if anything happens,if it still doesn't work it could be a motherboard issue or you got a DOA screen
Make jumper on fuze like I did on 2nd picture and should be fine. Pictures here.

Unfortunately, soldering for me isn't an option.
I've looked into the price of a motherboard for the Z3C and it's pricier than I expected. I might just cut my losses and try to sell it as is.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, guys!
