My touchscreen on the htc desire Z has stopped working, but buttons, trackpad and screen works. Is there any way to find out wich part is broken?
I´ve taken it apart and the ribboncable LOOKS Ok, but i dont know.
The screen has som marks on it.
When the problem startet, it stopped working sometimes when i had the keyboard out, so my guess its the ribboncable
any help?
Is there anyway to check this on my own?
trial and error? i have a spare (and am having a similar issue) im about to replace my ribbon with the one i know is good, if this dosent work ill get a new digitizer. of course my experience wont necessarily be the same for you. but ill say i bought a g2 off ebay that only the bottom half of the digitizer worked, zero from the middle of the screen up. all the soft buttons were fine and there was no marks on the screen. a new digitizer fixed that.

I had to buy a ribboncable from ebay but the shippingcost is 39usd... Thats why i don´t want to buy both the digitizer and ribbon because i cant fint anyone who has both :/
but i hope its the ribboncable, it has to be when the screen stopped working when i used the keyboard, and worked again when i closed it. right?
Hello again, i changed the ribboncable, and it all worked
BUT.
I had to open it again because the flash stopped working, and the second time i opened it, i broke these ribboncables for the keyboard.

Hello,
I have a HTC touch pro 2 and I removed the sticky thing (looks something like below)

I did this to fix the "oil spill of death" which made my digitiser unresponsive anyways... thats a different question...
I removed it and now it is all dirty and covered with gunk - its no good coming back on my screen. So without it my phone works and here are my options:
A) Buy a new sticker off ebay for $22
B) Dont buy a sticker, but use my full mirror screen protector instead.
I just dont know the role of that sticky thing. Could someone please help me out?
Cheers!
Okay, you need that sticky thing, because it's your touchscreen!
Without it, your phone is very hard to use.
Just get one of ebay, stick it onto your phone connecting the cable, and it should work again.
Thats the first layer of your screen!
Can you send me the ebay link
Hi
Hi,
Well my touch screen works fine without it. Its not on ebay (by itself) but I can buy a digitiser that comes with the sticker.
I dont know what to do.
Thanks
Well, then you probably haven't pulled off the complete digitizer. It should have a connector to it. If it hasn't, you only pulled off the top layer. Either way, you should replace it, because if something happens to your phone now, it is unprotected.
Thanks steyn_e I think your probably right!
That is pretty special, i havent seen anyone before who hade just half of his digitizer pulled off.
Good luck with repairing it.
Steyn
yeah thanks.
i chose not to buy a new digitiser because the sticker is not sold seperately, I guess a screen protector PLUS a hard case will do the job. If I buy a new digitizer, I have to peel off the sticker...... or replace the digitiser. I dont want to get messy so ill take the easy n cheap option
hey...
lately i hve been noticing that the bottom part (while phone is held vertical) of my defy's touchscreen is not working like i can't select settings button in latest edition of camera360 or delete icon in quickpic..!
so can somebody test these apps with their defy.... nd suggest me how to test my touchscreen??
try touch screen test apps such as Multitouch visbile test, search in the Android market.
tried touch test....encountering problem there also
so i guess would have to take it for warranty!!
i guess... it could be a digitizer problem...
actually m still confused whether its a touchscreen problem or not bcoz the problematic part seems to be just 4mm above capacitive buttons!!
just tell me are u able to close android's standard notification panel using touch in stock froyo??
Are you resolve this problem?!
My Defy have this problem too...
Hey guys,
My Defy had the same problem a few weeks ago but on the left part of the screen caused by condensed water.
I sent it to the repairing company in Germany and the device got a new screen. Now it is working again .
The repairing was for free due to warranty.
I hope I could help and sorry for my bad English ;-)
is there any other way to fix that problem ? i had similar problem, part of the top of my touch screen doesn't respond. i'm little bit confused if this problem caused by condensed water. defy supposed to be a water resistant right?

water resistant but not water proof!
My defy spaz's out any time rain drops are on the screen or even if my finger is wet or overly sweaty
so i'ts true about digitizer ? there's no other way except to replace the digitizer with the new one ?
any software fix like using other ROM?

Hi all (",) i just have exactly é same problem as Mr. ohyeach (top portion only not responding). As my Defy warranty is over, other than hardware fix, could there be any other way to fix it, like using another custom ROM? Thank you.

Hello,
I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.
I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...
Thanks!
There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.
Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try
Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S

I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:
That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have
Hey all,
my galaxy note wont charge. So i opened the device to fix it. The good thing is, that the device now charge. The bad thing is that i cuted the cable for the display assembly.

This is the thing which is broken by me. The right cable is cuted.
Is there any option two replace just the cable instead of buying a whole new display assembly?
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Thank you! I try it!
Hey,
the cable arrived today. I tried to get it build in but no change. It's too tricky. I think it's not possible to get the screen off without a brick. If someone can put the screen away without bricking it, it's very hard to connect the new cable to the screen.
The phone is dead. Maybe i found a cheap damaged phone with a working screen on ebay... We will see.
I will try it.
Hope you can fix the phone asap
Hi guys,
Two weeks ago, I had broken my screen. I bought used screen and I go to the mobile service to replece broken screen. It's works two hours, after this time I started have problems with screen. When I wake up phone, it's works OK by 10-15 sec, after that time, on screen apears white or coloured stripes . Here is the photo which shows problem:

Anyone have same problem or have any idea how I can solve it?
Hi,
I think it definitely bad connection between screen and motherboard:
badly installed (I mean someone who installed touched touchscreen connecting pins with fingers) ... or ... oxide on touchscreen connecting pins ... or ... possible water damaged used screen (seen one analog case).
It's any possibility to repair connection if screen it's OK?
Anyone know smoething about two types screens in G3?
It's similiar to that problem :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI64Bcf8OiE
which it's solved by: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52414185&postcount=122
Maybe changing kernel/soft will solve problem?
Hi,
Actually about software side I dont believe. I hope this used one was exactly same, what you had before. If I remember right, then LG didnt made different screens for G3 different models.
I remember that G2 had many problems with white lines after drop or screen change. Fix was easy, to add metal tape at display connector to antenna. To understand better about what ia talk you must read this link.
Anyway, I sill think your problem is hardware problem if on start it works normally.

In g3 it's any chance to solve that with metal tape? In g3 motherboard it's different so maybe tape can't help. Tomorrow I'll try one more time check lcd plug.
