Hopefully you've still got some time left on your warranty. The digitizer needs to be replaced. They normally go for around $50 if you do it yourself. Most sellers will include the tools for free.
touch screen
This is actually freaky!
what a coincidence???? :O
i had installed the ebergy rom a couple of months ago as well! on monday, that is the 8th november, my screen stopped working
i was literally jus about to hard reset and read your comment!
so is ther no solution??
do i have to send it off? i don't know if i have a warranty??
You can usually warrenty exchange for a year after the purchase date. I had this happen to me a few months back, sucked big time. You should probably flash the OEM ROM back to the phone prior to the exchange as well.

Hi All,
I have been reading through as always trying to give the kiss of life to the recently (1month) upgraded MDA Compact III. I have upgraded it from WM5 to Touch Flu WM6. It has been working great till last night it just died on me and now I can’t even turn it on... It comes on if i leave the battery out for a 10mins and then put it back in, but it will only go far as the boot screen and as soon as it comes to the password prompt it dies
SO I can’t get in to the bootloader...
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks all
Kind regards,
DS

Just to clarify, if you do the sequence to put it in bootloader mode, it still wont come on? What if you have it connected to the computer, still no power?
I had that same problem
Well not to be the messenger of doom but it may eventually die for good, i dunno what causes this but the same thing happened to my xda orbit recently. I had it for about 7 months the 3 weeks ago i had that problem to fix it i would leave a battery out for about an hour, also it seems the more programs u have it seems the more crashes it has, not saying hard reseting fixes it just when i installed the touch 3.01 rom and installed as few programs as possible it didn't crash for a week but, last Thursdays picked it up turned it on started listening to music then it just crashed and wouldn't even turn on at all when i plug in the charger the light didn't turn on or anything taking it to the o2 shop tomorrow.

I would think if u were to claim u may still be able to claim from the warranty if flashing it doesn't void it i sure hope not but i also insured mine so if the warranty is void i still have a life line.
i also have the same problem... i have upgraded to wm 6, first day was OK. i put my arte in my back pocket... when i took it out, it was shut down.... first i thought that it was because i sat on it... but it didnt open after that... when i plug charger it doesnt charge... however i managed to charge the battery fully... if i take the battery for a period of time.. it seems to work but crashes again, slowly going in black screen with a green vertical line in the center...
what should i do? please help me... unfortunately there's no htc shop here in turkey...
Sending it back to T-Mobile
I just called T-Mobile and have to send it off to the repair centre. Apparently i have a 24moth warrantee on this phone... Let’s hope they replace the phone

I am affraid that you lose the warranty because u flashed (updated) your orginal ROM.
Mayby damaged is only storage of ROM - memory chip
i didn't lose my warranty on mine maybe because they couldn't turn the phone on to check it out properly, i just got it back yesterday with the official o2 rom and no questions asked. b4 u take it back if u can flash the official T-Mobile rom then their shouldn't be any problem i would think.
I have same problem can someone point me in the right direction for the rom please same phone
Yesterday i had my TP2 on the bed.. anyway i tried to call someone and noticed that again my touchscreen went dead (it happened 2 times before) and both times it recovered without me doing much.
during the night the battery died and when i plugged it in today it started up but it wont go back from landscape... touchscreen still is not working.. and when i call someone the mic is dead... i cannot hear them.
When i try to make it go to sleep it wakes up again
The phone works with hardware keys, but i`m utterly dissapointed by HTC
RIght now i`m waiting it to charge up and reflash the latest ROM from Energy... any other hints would be appreciated
thanks
wow, that is very strange.
is your device exposed to anything out of the ordinary?
dont know why you would get hardware failures like that. But maybe its software issue? try hard-reseting or flashing back to stock rom and see if that does anything.
wiping the device...
I think it's time for a change in OS (nexus one)

Is the screen completely dead, or is the touchscreen just not responding? My touchscreen just topped responding a few days ago. I tried a soft reset, hard reset, and re-loading the stock ROM, but the screen still wouldn't respond, so AT&T swapped the phone out for me.
exactly... the screen works just not the touch. I bought the phone of a HTC reseller unlocked with no contract a year ago
I am using My Touch slide for almost past 6 months. Yesterday I was clicking some pics and it suddenly started acting weird and after some time the screen stopped reacting . Now the screen s not reacting at all. I tried to reset. Didn't work. I tied to update the software , but since than the MOBILE is not reading he SD card. Neither I am able to SYNC the phone. Please Please Please tell me what should I do .????? It's almost dead and I am not able to use it . I cant afford a new one right now so, please help .....
For the screen being unresponsive would usually mean that your digitizer is broken

I have the exact same problem :/
how to repair that. please tell ..
6 months old? Can't you then just let it repair for free or get a new one where you bought it?
If its a hardware problem, and it rather sounds so, then you probably can't do much on your own (and don't break it if you have guarantee).

Well the problem (for me) is that I do not live in the US, so the shipping fee would be one thing, and then I'd actually have to pay customs to get it back again, so that's a no go. I might try to replace the digitizer though, although I allready replaced it.
You could conceivably order and replace the digitizer yourself, however, it is very difficult and you run the risk of permanently damaging the phone. If you are under warranty still, return it. If rooted search xda for the factory update.zip and follow the instructions to do a factory restore, then return it.

My Xperia Play's touch screen no longer responds to my touch. I used to be able to do a couple battery pulls and it's fine, everything would work. Now, it no longer responds, no matter how much I try to get it to work. I bought it second hand so i have no warranty.
Here's what I've done:
- About 24 battery pulls...
- Tried software update, which succeeded, but didn't solve my problem.
- Factory Reset, nothing.
- Tried Repairing Phone instead of Updating software, that dind't work (failed for some stupid reason).
Can anyone help me out? Everything else works, just the touch screen.
Thanks.
I think its a hardware fault since you have re installed the software... ermm how old is the device?
According to the guy I bought it from, it's about a couple months old. I got it about a week ago.
Actually, the touch screen just started working again out of nowhere, and it's working as if though nothing happened. If I power off the phone or pull the battery, the touch doesn't work again until I do a few more battery pulls. When it does work, there's no flaws to it, it works perfect..
EVERY Sony erricson comes with a 1 year warranty. I got mine 2nd hand but then after a while my screen died. I phoned Sony and told them the problem. Of course I didn't tell them I bought it off a friend but they didn't ask for proof of purchase. I got my phone back and it's working perfectly.

Okay, so what if I don't have the box? They don't exchange the phone right? And I just took off the screen protector that was on the phone (The one from Factory) and I saw there was a small crack which I didn't see until now since the screen protector did a good job at hiding it. It's was only about an inch and a half long and didn't even come on the screen portion. Would this impact their decision on fixing it?
I think i got pretty screwed over...

Unfortunately I no longer own an Xperia Play, and I never had the problem with a non-responsive touch screen. I recommend you call Sony, or return it to the store where you bought it.

Had the same problem recently. Probably the only solution is to replace the whole assembly (cant change the digitizer only) which cost me ~50usd from ebay. I have seen some ppl suggesting to "press" all 3 buttons at the same time for 5-10 seconds( this resets them ) tho didnt help my case.
Good luck :good:
didnt work for me

If you root warranty is VOID so if you are still covered by the warranty just return it to the shop.
