Hey guys!
My girlfriend's Wildfire S fell down to the ground and the digitizer was broken. I bought a replacement one from a known seller, i mounted it everything right, but now I have the problem, that it won't recognize the input right.
Every time I turn on the phone, wake it up, every time the screen goes on, it won't recognize my finger. Only after i swiped some rounds across the whole screen, it works nearly without a problem.
Does anyone know, what the reason could be or how I can solve this problem...
...WITHOUT buying another digitizer. xD
Thanks in advance!

Last night I was out and during the night I pulled my desire z out of my pocket to find that the screen was dead, the soft touch buttons were still lit up and working but no display. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot and no luck, you can hear it booting and even unlock/receive calls and txts etc once it has booted up just the screen stays blank the whole time so have to do everything on feel.
Essentially does this just mean my screen has a hardware fault? is it worth trying to fix? I assume the only option would be to purchase a replacement screen and dissemble and reassemble it?
(warranty is not worth it as I live in New Zealand and would have to send my phone back to the UK where I bought it from, also I have dropped it quite a few times so probably voided anyway...)
Thanks in advance for any input
Does it never display anything? So not even a flash during boot or something?
Because then it is probably a hardware problem.
Since the soft touch buttons do still work I think there might be a little crack or something in the flat cable that connects the bottom half with the top.
Maybe you could check whether you can see if the cable is broken or not?
The best thing to do then is to look for a replacement and try to fix it yourself or bring it to a shop where they can do it for you.
No it never displays anything, completely dead the whole time. The touch input is still working though as I answered a phone call this morning on it by making the usual gesture just without being able to see anything. Doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the cable itself as far as I can see. Yea might have to get someone to have a look at it.
My phone is acting the same. I dropped my phone in the pond before, but pulled battery out on time and had it in rice for a day. My phone was still working for about two weeks after that incident. I dropped it and had one little crack at the top of the screen and about a week after that it died when I had a water balloon fight with the phone in my pocket. D;
Do any of you know if the replacement lcd screen/digitizer for the Desire Z would work for the G2?
I had the same thing happening to my G2 screen, only it was intermittently working for a little while, then just completely died and wouldn't work. It was doing this crazy flickering thing then the back light wouldn't go on at all. If I held the phone at a certain angle in the sun, I could see that the pixels were indeed working on the display, but there was no backlight to make them normally visible.
So I purchased a replacement screen from ebay and carefully followed the directions on a youtube video for a G2 take apart. Its not a hard task to take apart and get down to the screen itself. It was rather easy. After putting it back together the screen still didn't work! Sounds work, i can also receive calls etc. But the screen still doesn't work!
Is there any way that this could be a software issue?
Oh and PS, I believe the LCD replacement would work for both the desire Z and the G2. They are identical phones after all right? I'd say its a safe bet. The screen I bought was only 35 bucks. Didn't think that was a bad deal.
Another dead screen or something else?
Few days ago my phone fell of the couch onto a rug - no big deal, so far it has survived much worse, but when I picked it up, the colors were all messed up - overly green and red. Tried restarting - no luck. Everything worked fine, except the colors, but then the screen turned of completely. I could hear notifications, phonecalls, but the screen was dead. After some tapping on the screen, it turned on again - with ****ed up colors. Then started flickering and was gone again. Few more times I could turn it on by tapping before it was dead for good.
Figured, after all these drops it survived, maybe the screen connector is a bit loose. I mean, I could sometime get a contact when tapping it, so I dissasambled it completely, secured all the connection, put it all back tougether and fired up - same thing: dead screen, phone working.
Has anyone had such problem before? Is it screen that is dead, or connector or... I have no clue... I would like try to fix it on my own, with some replacement parts I could get on ebay - but, what gave?
Hello guys,
Around a week back, my MT3G slide touch screen got unresponsive for a while. I rebooted around 2-3 times and thankfully the touchscreen worked fine.
Now, I am getting this unresponsive touchscreen more often and I have to pull out the battery from the phone and turn it on again. The last time this happened I had to do this about 8-10 times before the touchscreen would respond. I have no problems with my keypad, 4 buttons or the trackpad, just the touchscreen
I also did a factory reset and erased all the data that I had on my phone and SD card.
EDIT : I just figured that the touchscreen sometimes starts working if you slide out the keypad. But once the keypad is slid back in, it's back to being unresponsive.
My phone is out of warranty so I can not get a replacement I think.
Does anyone know what could be the problem for such frequent touchscreen unresponsive behavior. After a couple of reboots, everything returns to normal.
Any ideas ? I would appreciate any help..
Thanks a lot...
you got a broken ribbon
Hi there,
Do you mean the slide rail flex cable or the digitizes flex cable ?
Thanks
flex ribbon cable
I would say it's the flex ribbon cable which connects the motherboard piece to the screen and home button piece. I've purchased several "broken" my touch 3g slides from ebay that had either the screen shift problem when the keyboard was slid out or screen that was unresponsive/wouldn't come on. Both problems were fixed by purchasing an inexpensive flex ribbon cable like item 170747702766 on ebay. I watched a video and followed along on youtube /watch?v=-jgFHuVWlig (stop at 7:27 and reverse the process). However, my most used mt3gs is now starting to have the screen shift problem again and needs a new cable... it didn't last as long as I had hoped.
Did you try any custom roms?. reflashing/updating the device?
I guess it must be some driver issue!..
i have the same problem.
Could you fix it?
Seems to be a common issue. I've described the process of replacing the flex ribbon cable here - it's not a rocket science. Or just bring the phone to a serviceman who will do the same (if you lucky enough he could even have a spare cable, but I'd advice you to have your own bought from ebay to be sure).

Thank you for the information but another questiion that I do have is where would one get a serviceman that would repair or help repair a phone, usually the technicians are attached to the different cellular carriers and if one dosen't have a contract with them they are not likely to help repair your phone even if it is for a fee. Do you know any serviceman?
This is my problem:
In may, I bought a Xperia Play on second-hand web from a guy on my city. In time, the phone got wet by rain, and digitizer started to go sometimes crazy, specially texting. I could survive with it.
After 2 months, the Ribbon Flex crashed, it showed screen completely screwed up, like in TV, you know, that problem that happen to everyone after sometime . So I changed it.
The point its, when i changed it, my old Digitizer stopped working ok, it gave too much problems. For 2 minutes it worked normally, except the base of the screen (that zone of the screen didnt detect my fingers, dont know why). Then, it wouldnt work totally, till, in some moments I took the phone, it would work for only minutes. I controlled the phone with the pad, but when it went out of battery by accident, I wasnt able to unlock again, as I couldnt touch and unlock the Pin code so I can use the phone again with the pad.
So I buyed a new one, which of course, I dont know why it doesnt work too (this replacement comes from a trusted dealer from my uncle electronics shop, so for the moment, I dont think the new digitizer itself its the problem).
What the hell Im supossed to do man? Im starting to go panic, because I dont know if the Motherboard have something to do with all this, and that means Phone dead right? Ive seem a lot of posts, all I could google with the same problem, and there is a lot of different cases and solutions with the damned Xperia Play, all starting with the damn unresponsive digitizer.
I saw the guide above amd i already posted there, but I wanted to leave a thread. Please, I need your help if its posible. Thank you at least for reading this.
Try replacing your flex cable again. Something like this happened to be, but the digitizer was completely unresponsive. After I replaced it, it works fine.
Hello there, I just want to ask you guys of your opinion regarding my DHD. The screen stopped responding just this day. I tried booting to recovery and nothing happens when I press the screen. Do you think I got a busted digitizer? I have dropped my phone a lot of times already. It was still working fine yesterday and I haven't remembered dropping it. I just charged it overnight and I noticed that the screen is not working this working. Any suggestions before I take it to the repair shop?
The battery on my HTC 10 was completely shot and needed to be replaced. I'm a careful person by nature and this being my first phone repair, I bought an extra screen just in case something happened getting it apart. Followed a guide by jerryrigeverything on how to take apart the phone, got the battery replaced, everything seemed to go smoothly. When I went to test the display before screwing everything together, the new screen I installed lit up, but the right half of the display only showed as a repeating segment from the middle of the screen. Thinking the connector was loose, I disconnected and reconnected the display and made sure everything was tight: same problem. I reinstalled the original display, which I made sure had worked after cutting through the adhesive before I disconnected it, and now the old display is also showing the same issue.
The touch screen on the broken side of the display still works, I'm able to type PIN numbers and whatnot even though I can't see them properly. Only thing I can think of is maybe the connection actually got some debris or something inside of it? I don't think I damaged anything, as I was super careful, but it was also my first time opening up a phone.
Sorry for the inefficiently worded post. Any help would be really appreciated.
Did you resolve this?
I have exactly the same issue you describe after my screen replacement (with two new screens) Believing the first was a dud.
I have done many screens/batteries on my m7, m8's previously never having a problem.
I'm currently back to running my M8 and miss my 10!
Anyone reading this and has any suggestions they are all welcome!!
Thank you in advance
Exactly the same issue this guy has

I'm now wondering if it is just bad aftermarket screens?
Has anyone else replaced their screen successfully, if so where did you get the screen?
Thanks Rory
I have been having the same problem. I just tested screen number 4 that has the same exact problem. Is there a specific brand that is known to test well?
I dropped my 10 in water at work...believe it was a salty water at that. It stopped working completely. I opened the phone to check the internal components for damage and I broke the LCD doing so. I replaced the battery and the screen at almost the same time. I think it may have been a week or two apart.
The battery is still working. The screen worked initially but the phone kept getting really hot and the heat kills the phone. I tried keeping it cool at all times which kept it operational. It hasn't been activated since I quickly replaced the phone with another of my lines upgrades. I went back to the phone to check it out and try using it as a replacement for my daughter but the screen no longer works.
The battery charges just fine...the led light indicates that well. I've tried reinstalling it several times with no success getting the screen working again. I tried the original screen to check and I could see light and it was responding but its not usable so I'm stuck with a phone that has a new non-working display. I think the brand was called DIYRepair or similar.
If anyone has encountered this and has advice...I'd be happy to try anything.
