my touch 3g became unresponsive at right lower corner of the screen. within a day, whole of screen became unresponsive
I have the same problem but fot the left part of the screen. Any ideas?
Yuppers. The digitizer's borked. Have it replaced, it costs some 12 Euro on eBay.
I had the same problem with my Jade.With a simple action it came back to life.I took a sharp knife and raised a bit the plastic upper cover on the Digitizer.It worked instantly.Perhaps a small quantity of air or humidity has entered between the Digitizer and the upper plastic cover.This was the problem of my Jade.When i looked on the screen with the light off i could see some shapes on it.If you can see them too,perhaps you're having the same problem.
any tutorial?
I'd like to open my TP for a screen repair. But all guides for "how to open" says that there are 7 clips holding the front case, and at the point you open the TP they will break. Does anybody opened the TP without broken it? If yes, please share it.
Thanks

Google "HP Touchpad tear down"
He jumps the open part...
Have you Tried Fixit dot com
I have been tempted many times to open my TP just out of curiosity. I used the site ifixit and did a search for HP Touchpad to learn how to open and repair other tablets. Check it and see if it helps.

you have broken no clip?
Go Slow
Unfortunately, I broke 2 tabs on my first Xbox disassemble but I have done tear downs on:
HP Netbooks,
24" iMac,
2 LePan tc970 tablets (first time I accidentally separated the screen instead of the back casing),
various phones
and a bunch of Xboxes.
The key is to go slow. I also found that an old credit card works great as a "spudger" to help pry open the devices. The most important part is to go slow and take your time.
My philosophy is if its broke the worst that could happen is it will be in the state when I finish with it, "BROKE".
Yes, it is possible to disassemble the Touchpad without breaking the clips.
I will provide more info this weekend.

Have you got more info? I've opened my touchpad once before and snapped pretty much all the clips off, I've glued them back on, but need to open it again, be easier if I could do it without breaking them off again.

Not sure if the clips will behave the same after being glued back on, but here's some notes I put together:
Here are some notes on how to reduce the chance of breaking the clips
as you take apart the HP Touchpad while following the ifixit.com
instructions.
The pictures referenced are from:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HP+TouchPad+USB+Connector+Board+Replacement/6077
Pic#1 means pic from step #1. Pic#2 means pic from step #2. Etc.
You should click "View Original" or "View Huge" and then zoom in
as much as possible.
Recognizing the Clips and their Locations
Pic#1 shows 7 clips (with red boxes around them). However,
there are really 8 clips. If you look at the top right corner, you'll
see a clip (in red box) and then an orange box below it. The missing
clip is a little below this orange box (notice the notch on the PCB
where the missing clip is located).
In Pic#2, the corner closest to you is the top right corner
from Pic#1. Looking just left of the corner edge, you will see a clip
that is still clipped to the display assembly (this is the same clip
in the top right corner from Pic#1). The spludger in Pic#2 is where
the missing clip is located (you can see that that clip is no longer
clipped to the display assembly). You can also barely see a clip
still attached where the right thumb is located.
In Pic#3, the corner closest to you is the top right corner from Pic#1.
You can clearly see three clips still clipped to the display assembly
in this pic. One just to the left of the corner and two to the right
of the sludger. Note that you should not try to raise the display assembly
this high with the spludger until all the clips have been released.
In Pic#4, the corner closest to you is the top left corner from Pic#1.
In this pic, you can see four clip locations: two with clips attached
and two without clips attached. On the side with the spludger, you can
see the two clip locations without any clips. One of those is just to
the left of the spludger and the other is to the right of the spludger
just left of the camera window (circle on face of display). On the side
with the left thumb, you can see the two clips still attached to the
display assembly (note that these clips are probably already broken
from the back case by trying to raise the display assembly this high
without unclipping all the clips). One of these clips is just under the left
thumb and the other is in the far top left of the pic. NOTE: YOU SHOULD
NOT USE THE SPLUDGER (OR ANY OTHER TOOL) IN THIS CORNER (anywhere
between the two closest clip locations you see in the pic).
In Pic#5, the corner closest to you is the bottom right corner from Pic#1.
Between this corner and the home button location, you can see two notches
in the display assembly for clips (however, there are no clips in these
two locations). Between the home button and the far corner (in top right
of this pic), you can see the location of the missing clip #8 (with no
clip attached). In the far corner, you can see a clip still attached.
In Pic#6, the corner closest to you is the top right corner from Pic#1.
You can see two clips in this pic. The one to the right of the corner
has clearly been broken from the back case; you don't want to see this!
The other is being (very crudely) unclipped from the display assembly
with the spludger.
Note that these pics are for reference only. You should not be pulling
the display assembly as far up as they do in these pics (that's how
you break the clips).
Unclipping the Clips
You want to pull the display assembly up *just enough* (nowhere near
as much as they do in these pics) so that you can unclip the clips.
Use the spludger next to the clip location, but make sure to avoid
locations with the orange boxes, etc. In Pic#6, you can see how you
need to move the clip to unclip it. However, we don't want to raise
the display assembly as much as they do to get the spludger
in behind the clip (as shown in Pic#6). Instead, we want to insert
something (thin flexible spludger, firm guitar pic, very small flat
screwdriver, etc) just above the clip and pry it out of the "box"
that it's clipped into. As you unclip the clips, some of them may
reclip as you work on the others, so make sure to go back and check
them before trying to pull the display assembly up very far.
Make sure to only raise the display assembly just enough so that
you can access the clips enough to pull/pry them out of the "box"
that they are clipped into. Those "boxes" are part of the display
assembly.
Be patient. Take your time.

Coming from the display assembly are two cables. The ribbon cable that splits and connects to two connectors at the same spot is the touchscreen cable. Make sure that both of those are fully seated and square.
i cant touch that cable again it took me 5hr to make it ok it showed me so many colours that i never seen in the screen
I snapped all the side clips off mine, seems to hold ok with just the top and bottom clips though, screen feels a bit spongy to the touch, but don't think it's in danger of coming apart.
The good thing is I actually have a touchpad with working wifi so I might actually use it now.
I have always had my N6 in a basic spigen case, but noticed that one side is higher to the edge of the case than the other, I always thought it was the case. But the other day I looked a bit deeper and found that the screen is coming away from the body in the bottom right all the way up to the side buttons.
It is coming away from the thin black bezel as opposed to the coloured middle body. I first thought that maybe the LiPo was swelling and pushing it out (as it feels like it is forcing out as you can push it back down but springs straight back up again) so I took the back cover off and checked, the battery looks fine with no obvious puffyness.
So before I pull it fully apart to get at the screen:
How is the screen attached to that thin black bezel? Or, how is the screen adhered in place?
I have watched a few screen replacement videos but once they detach the screen from the middle body obviously they don't explain any further. I am hoping that the screen is adhered like the back panel so I can just clean and re-stick with new double sided tape.
Hi everybody
I think that the fingerprint sensor should be placed in the middle of the screen.
Many of the renders we have around the web, show it at the bottom of the screen though.
With a screen as large as this, I think this would be even worse than having it on the back of the phone.
Now that they can put it in the screen itself, the most convenient and user productive place for it is somewhere in the middle of the screen.
So if anybody knows where is it situated, please share this.
I cradle the bottom of the phone with my pinky. That would position my thumb 1/3 from the bottom of the screen. Putting it in the middle would strain my hand a little.

Didn't get that... I'm only saying that when I'm holding a phone with similar size, the thumb is around the middle of the screen or a bit lower than that.
it is the bottom middle

Though I'm still hoping this is not the case...
I use my x4 since october and today I discovered it isn't 100% flat. When I put the phone screen down on the table I can fell little moves on opposite corners. I carry my phone in the front pocket and try not to make any pressure on it. I do not overheat my phone either. I can not see any bent on sides, it looks fine. Anyone having this issue too?
I haven't taken my phone out of the box yet but it could be from the camera 'bump' in the middle.

"Flat" laying on screen. When you put your phone screen down and can't feel any moves, phone doesn't "swing" when you press any of its corners.
