noticed that my touchscreen is becoming unresponsive lately so i thought that changing the multitouch might solve it. the thing is, after selecting 4 touch, touchscreen becomes totally unresponsive. i tried wipe and even flashing stock os but touchscreen is still the same.
did i screw up my touch screen? how will i know? any known repairs or fix.
thanks
Sounds like your digitalizer (the glass above the screen) is busted and needs replacement. If your phone is under warranty, claim it, if not - get a new digitalizer and if you can't change it yourself, take it to a repair shop.
Changed the digitizer but still no response
Got a headache? It's all in your head!!!
switch ROM
You said that you flashed back to stock, but how about flashing to another ROM, I mean one that has a completly diferent multitouch enabler... that might work.

i was able to flash stock and it means i have no root nor recovery. and adb debugging is not enabled. i am out of ideas how i will be able to solve this.
After flashing stock ROM do you face the same issue with a new Digitizer?
yes. doesnt respond to anything except volume and power. even the 4 touch buttons doesn't work. i was thinking that i have received a bad digitizer or it is a motherboard issue. with the latter i have no idea how to check

I had recently taken my Defy to a service center. I just wanted to change the earpiece and the side casing. While replacing the side casing (while removing the Digitizer) they damaged the digitizer. The main touch portion was working but the 4 soft keys were not. They replaced the digitizer and everything was fine again (had to pay for it )
If you can carefully handle the phone, you can open up the casing and try reconnecting the digitizer to the board. (Do not remove the digitizer from the casing only reconnect the cable).
Replacement is better done by a service center as it requires careful handing.
I did open the phone, removed and reconnected the cable, still the same. also tried 2 new digitizer still the same result. I guess it us the mother board . Any ideas where to get replacement board ?
Thanks

i have got the same problem like you and i have solved it.
Do compass calibration like spin the phone 3 times in flat condition (laying down face up), then have the phone standing up and rotate 3 times, then on one side, rotate 3 times and then move your defy in the shape of number "8" in the air. Re-open the screen. it is suppose to bring back your screen work like it was nothing happened.
only for my defy i've tried never did this for another but from what i see you have nothing to lose here
Tried the calibrating thing and also a new digitizer. doesn't work. So it is the motherboard.
Anyone knows where to get mother board
Got a headache? It's all in your head!!!
Getting a new board is like getting a new phone - new IMEI, price for the board should be very similar to the pricw for a new phone too. If you think about it, it IS the phone. What's there in the phone other than the board a screen and a digitizer...
Guess you're right.

I dropped my HOX and cracked the digitizer a while ago and i still used my hox since to me it's not really a problem to have a broken glass. A couple of days ago capacitive buttons started to malfunction. Now they are not working anymore. I installed Button Savior to make the phone still usable, but now i am looking forward to solve the problem.
I am asking a simple question because i opened my hox so many times resolving GPS and WIFI malfunctions (my WIFI and GPS now are stronger than Galaxy Nexus', so that's a hardware problem), and played a lot with the connection to antenna pins. There is the remote chance that i actually broke something on the mainboard. The question is: replacing the digitizer+display would 100% solve the problem of capacitive buttons? Are the capacitive buttons totally integrated with screen digitizer?
Maybe it's just a silly question, but i want to be sure before buying a spare display+digitizer.

Bump!
I'm also having troubles with my capacitive buttons..
Opened my HOX to fix the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issue with a couple solder point, closed it back, connection is now amazingly good, but:
-I have no lights on my capacitive buttons (except for the lights off they work alright).
-I have no sound on my loudspeaker (the one behind the device), tested it with a 1.5v battery (like this: youtube.com/watch?v=xIMHGkxw72o) and the speaker itself is fine, but, no sound.
I'm from Brazil, no HTC presence here, so, no authorized service where I can send it to be fixed.
I'm hoping you guys could give me some help on how to proceed to identify/ fix those issues!
Anything???

I went on a rage and FULLY disassembled the phone... putting all back together later on.
Everything is fine now!
For me, I GUESS this cable was disconnected: etradesupply.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/o/e/oem_htc_one_x_navigation_light_flex_cable_ribbon_4_.jpg
It's related to capacitive buttons light and loudspeaker (I don't know if anything else goes trough it)...unfortunately can't use this solution for nonworking buttons...

sorry for bring alive this thread but im very interested on thi issue, im having the exact same problem after "fixing" wifi issue :/ does reaplcing the digitizer fixes this problem?

I've also just had an issue with non-working capacitive buttons, they light up but won't actually do anything, the phone hasn't been dropped and is usually left on the sideboard in the bedroom as I mostly use my newer HTC One instead, any reason why it would just suddenly just stop like that? was fine the day before whilst playing a game on it.
Hello,
I just got my N7 back from repair where they replaced the ME571K SUB_BD./AS board since the USB Port was not working anymore.
Luckily the port works now, but on the other hand the Touchscreen is not responding at all.
I tried restarting already without success. I also cannot reset the tablet since I got TeamWinRecovery Touch (and CWM 10.2) installed.
I can connect the tablet in bootloader and with "fastboot devices" it shows up as 077a744a.
Could anyone help me on how to flash or reset the tablet?
Ps.: This replacement was out of warranty, therefore I paid for it. The service center suggested replacing the mainboard (to make money) as well. Before I sent the tablet in everything was working just fine except mentioned USB Port.

Try flashing the JSS15R factory image.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45671279#post45671279
I just flashed (with wipe) the factory image without success.
There's no response at all. Also when I try to get into recovery mode now the opened Android with the red exclamation mark shows up.
Is there a low level touchscreen calibration or something I could run through fastboot?
Anymore help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm starting to think they just put my motherboard in another tablet with abroken display...
I'd return it, it sounds like total screen failure.

That fallen android is just an image overlaid over the stock recovery menu. It just means you've booted into stock recovery. You can get the recovery menu by press/hold Power, press/release VolUp, release Power.

There are various different touchscreen software you can load via fastboot and there is a calibration file in /system/usr/idc, but it isn't clear any of these would help if your screen doesn't work at all.
You can try changing the touchscreen software, worse case, it stays the same:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428133
Alternatively, you can open up your tablet and check to see if the flex cable for the touchscreen has become dislodged. There are 2 cables that run across the center battery. The one that is reinforced using tape is the one for the touchscreen.
Just did a reset but it didn't work.
I already tried these different firmwares from your link but it didn't make a difference.
I guess the screen is just broken. Or is it possible that the new Subboard is not working with the motherboard and therefore the screen fails?
I opened the back but it looks fine doesn't it? Is the big cable the on for the touchscreen or the orange one?

Yes, that is the cable. You can carefully removing the tape reinforcing the motherboard side of the orange cable and seeing if there is anything preventing a good connection, possibly use compressed air to clear out the connection area. The other end of the orange cable also connects to the touchscreen underneath the usb module so you would need to remove some screws to check that connection.
That's about all I can suggest. It didn't sound like a software issue because your screen completely doesn't work.
Yes I will look at the side where I have to open screws since that is the part they changed. Mabybe they didn't connect the screen.
I also wrote the support already.
Thanks for your help, I will report back.
Same problem experienced

Hi there
I have also experienced a very similar problem. The charging port on my 2013 Nexus failed to work, I then ordered a replacement part and changed it. It is very straight forward and simple to do for a novice like me.
on replacing the pcb the charging resumed faultlessly but the touchscreen has become unresponsive, i then replaced the old pcb and the screen has resumed functionality, but charging is not working.
The part was replaced by the supplier and it has occurred again, charges fine but the screen is unresponsive. Again i reinstall the old part and hey presto screen is ok.
I am now going to try and replace the actual usb pin itself from the original failed board and see if i can repair myself.
I had also done all the resets and reboots mentioned online.
Not sure if this helps but thought i'd share as its relevant
Many thanks
Is this the n7 2013? If it is how the hell did you get the back off? I tried and was afraid of breaking something.

It's really easy. No tools required. Run your fingernail around the perimeter of the tablet edge between the screen edge and angled plastic. You'll hear the clips releasing as you go. Then carefully work the back off. No glue, just clips. Takes about 1 minute.

Any update on how you solved this ?
I would appreciate if anyone could share the solution for unresponsive touch screen, if it's possible at all. The screen only reacts on the edges, and only to the swipe gestures, not to tapping. But all and all is the same - broken USB, replacement part, unresponsive screen.

I think this is the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...a/usb-io-pcb-touchscreen-calibration-t2939991
Is there nothing to "calibrate" the screen? Asus is supposed to do it for you.
I think the problem is the rev. number of the usb board.
I found this explicative video on youtube, but I can't put the link. Look for "Nexus 7 2013 2nd gen charge port replacement issue"
I have the opposite problem: I changed lcd and digitizer two times, both times touch screen was completely unresponsive. I wonder if there's a software solution for this. I know usb board have different revisions, but what about digitizers? Are all the same for every nexus 2013 model? In this case I have to think touch screen connectors on usb board are broken somehow...

I know this is an old thread, but the problem is replacing a rev 1.3 board with a rev 1.4 board. They are not compatible touch screen wise. I have heard that there is a reset tool that only Asus has that can fix this...

My kid broke the original screen and I replaced it with a cheaper one that worked great until he broke it again
Got a new screen but the touch doesn't work and I can't enter twrp except if I disconnect one of the daughther board connector ribbons (can't remember which one now).
My guess is that the screen is for a different revision board.
Any way to solve the problem?
This is the perfect thread. I have a collection of Frankenstein parts and the problem I've had with 5 or 5 devices (flo) is the sub board. Some work, some don't. I'll try the firmware links and report back.
Has any one found solution for this problem, even my Nexus 7 2013 touch screen has stopped working after I repaired the micro USB port. Actually my tablet was not charging and I figured out that there was some lose contact in the micro USB solder joints, untill then my touch working. I haven't changed any daughter USB board but just resoldered the micro USB port after which my charging has started working and I can even connect a mouse or pendrive through USB OTG cable but the touch screen has stopped working.
Hi
I'm having a problem with a lite (T110) that I bought second hand. The digitizer wasn't working so I bought a new one, but the problem pre-existed my replacing the digitizer. The video below shows it, which you can see is intermittent, and hitting the power button twice in succession generally resolves it.
It's not a ROM issue, as I've tried a few ROMs. Kernel, I don't know. My best guess is that it's related to the flex cable that connects the LCD to the tablet. While changing I disconnected this flex, and tried to see if I could resolve the issue by touching it. The results were not conclusive. Sometimes I could, sometimes I couldn't.
Does anyone have a video/picture of the inside of a T110 that shows how the lcd flex is supposed to fit? Has anyone else experienced this problem and resolved it?
Hello community,
due to a water incident I had to replace some hardware parts as microphone and finger print sensor.
The navigation proximity buttons do also not work, but I did not replace them.
After this replacement, the phone worked 3 months fine....then I replaced the main camera because it didnt focus anymore.
Since the camera replacement I have very bad wifi reception. When I am right next to the rooter, it is working but unstable. Thats why I suspect an antenna/hardware problem or another hardware issue. I did replace the black coax cable (also a used cable) next to the battery already, but this did not resolve the problem.
On the software side I did a complete reset. Actually twice because I had to unlock the bootloader and then did a reset. Also not resolving the problem.
- I am now wondering, weather there are more or different wifi antennas in the onplus 3 except the black coax cable.
- Does anyone have experience about the sensitivity of those coax cables? The replacement cable I have is also from a used phone and has some usage marks.
- Anyone another Idea, where the problem can be?
Thanks for any suggestions!

The problem can be the constant opening up of the phone and meddling with it.

I have the same problem with my oneplus 3, i too had to change my back camera because it didn't focus, which after many attempt didn't work and i ended up using a magnet right next to the camera.
I purchased a coax black cable but it didn't solve anything.
I also have switched between a numerous amount of rom and i can tell it's hardware.
So it's either the main board that suffered from the chirurgical operation we had to do or the back's antenna that are faulty, i don't think removing the camera would make any difference.
My wifi reception is really bad and i can't get a decent bandwidth even right next to the wifi...
I'll have to re-open it to change the amoled that just broked so i'll keep you updated.
Changing the back of the phone can make any difference?
Thanks!
