I've had the phone since June last year and it's been working fine. However after flashing different firmware and changing roms the touch screen of the phone seemed to die by being a lot less responsive until it became completely unresponsive. The phone starts up fine and the screen displays everything correctly but the touch screen just doesn't work. Occasionally I can unlock by sliding it open but after that I can't get on anything. Would this be down to an issue with the digitizer?
Thanks for any replies in advance.
Could be the digitizer, or it could also be the ribbon cable inside the slider.

Thanks for the reply, I've just ordered a new digitizer with ribbon so I'll see how it goes and report back. Cheers again.

Hi All,
My diamond screen suddenly stopped responding. The screen calibration is also not working. I tried a hard reset and after that, it stopped at the screen 'Tap the screen to setup your windows phone'. I am not even able to do that. Any help is appreciable. Thanks in advance.

Try re-flashing a rom, or maybe your touch screen (digitizer) needs replacing, if you do this yourself i would recommend buying the digitizer and lcd together as one, it will make a whole lot easier trust me lol. The lcd screen is easy to break.
Had this problem, too, but since I couldn't get back to stock SPL at that time I put my Diamond into a shelf for about 2 days.
When I then tried to get back to stock SPL the screen suddenly responded again.
So, try to take off the battery for a long time (more than a day) and hope it recovers.
Didn't have the problem again.
Change the Touch Screen

I had a similar problem solved with changing the touch screen since the phone was under warranty I have to revert to the stock SPL and stock ROM before I gave it for service. If your phone is not under warranty you can buy the touch screen from ebay.com with a manual and all required instruments for replacing the same.
This happened to me because I was talking to someone over an hour in a humid place which caused sweat to get into the phone through the speakers.

Solution
Okay, I've just had this problem with an HTC Touch, and I think this works with any HTC that has a "digitizer" rather than an all-in-one touchscreen (I think newer phones have digitisers).
I'm not sure if this will always work, but I've just done it - sometimes the inactive touch screen is "broken" because the layers are stuck together (so the phone can't tell where the touch is, hence unresponsive). With mine, I looked at the screen side on and could see a kind of "oily" patch in the light.
The solution is to get masking/gaffa tape - the very sticky brown one. Stick it down on the screen/digitizer and then keep pulling it off - this pulls the layers from each other. I kept repeating this lots before it worked - and in the end I pulled the top layer completely off (I think you should pull from the top of the phone, as the layers need to be attached at the bottom of the screen/digitizer). Once it pulled away, I gently lay it back down (after panicking!!) and hey presto it started working again.
Good luck!

Putting the phone in the fridge makes screen work!
I know this is an old thread but why does putting the phone in the fridge for a few minutes make the touch screen work? Even if I put it out of a moving car and it cools down, then it works for a bit.
Anyone know why this is and how I can fix the phone permanently?
HI Guys,
I recently replaced the digitizer on my wfs and everything went well, i have calibrated the screen and the touch is working perfect however the home search etc buttons at the bottom don't work, they light up but do not respond.
What did i do wrong? all wires are connected and as i said they light up!
thanks!

Just a whim here, but maybe it could be that the digitizers buttons don't work. It might be broken out of factory, where did you get it? Maybe you can ask for a replacement as the digitizer is most probably broken.
it was just a cheap one from china, so im sure i can get a replacement if i ask.
I wasn't sure if the buttons are actually part of the touch screen itself or if the need to have contact to something else..
Thanks
So i cracked my screen a few weeks ago and after recieving my new verizon lg g3 lcd/digitizer I installed the new lcd/digitizer and the whole top section of my screen is not responding to touch.

I fix screens alot. Sounds like a possible bad digitizer. I've fixed over 500 iPhone screens and around every 1/10 screens I order will be DOAs or bad right out of the box.
ya
Im thinking thats what is going on here....i heat gunned the screen to see if that would have any effect and actually it improved...now instead of having half of the screen non responsive tot ouch im at a 1/3 or even less....probably going to ship back to LG and have replaced uinder warranty

I've quite recently replaced the screen on my device yet the same issue in the images occurred as when it first went. I left it off for a couple of days. Turned it back on and is working again however there are very fine Black horizontal lines through the screen and the back light dims and brightens when using the touch screen. Any help is greatly appreciated

I assume you reflashed your phone the first time (loaded a fresh ROM). If so, it might be an issue with the screen. I know you already replaced it, but the issue might be with the screen connector cable.

All sorted. It was not only the screen but the flexi-cable ribbon. it was quite worn so I purchased another piece for it and hey presto. its all working. well...apart from the fact ive somehow broken the power switch so need to get a replacement for that somehow. fortunately i have the bugged recovery so i can boot my phone by plugging it into a charge cable to get it to boot.
Hello everyone!! Before one week my fingerprint sensor stopped working! After two days of that troobleshoot my fingerprint sensor settings all of a sudden disappeared. After two days of the disappeared settings my touchscreen turned unresponsive. I try many things to fix it but the only things that makes it responsive again is a hard push at the screen(lol) is there any other have the same issue? I'm thinking it's time for a replacement of my screen? Or is there any other solutions??

Most of the time, this issue happens due to hardware issue, the screen/power button ribbon cables might've got loose inside the device.
I think its easy to repair in service.
Looks like cable tape broken. If screen not damage try go to service
