I assume that my MDA Pro will need replacing / fixing, the screen has flipped inside out, even if I hard reset then the press 0 to clear screen is mirrored.
Is this a known issue? and Is there an easy fix? before I take it back to T-Mobile and get it replaced

The touch screen responds to continuous taps even when I don't tap it. When the keyboard is slid out, the start menu keeps on popping as if the start button on screen is being tapped. When keyboard is slid inside (device is closed), the device behaves as if the OK button (the "X" on top right) is being tapped continuously. Due to this, I can't open any program. (As soon as a program is opened, the "X" button on top right is automatically clicked and I reach Home screen again!
I uploaded a video about this mal-functioning of device:

I have already:
1. Alligned screen
2. Hard reset device (Left and Right softkeys + Reset button)
3. Updated ROM and hard reset device
but of no use! Please help.
I haven't heard of a software problem causing what you're seeing on your phone. And a hard reset should have cleared that if this was the case.
Do you have a screen protector applied? If so then make sure it doesn't reach under the cover round the screen. Maybe some dirt got in between the screen edge and the cover?
If the phone is under warranty then just take it to the service centre.
maybe you have a warped case...the flexing might cause the touchscreen bezel to make contact with the screen. it may flex differently when opened/closed.
what happens if the slide is 1/2 open?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is the most likely explanation and there was an identical case reported in this forum somewhere.

Even when its half open, the OK ("X" on top right) keeps clicking.
I'm using the same case that came with JasJam. Have attached a screen protector to the screen. Could that be the cause of problem?
I contacted imate support. They asked me to send the device. Hopefully, the problem should be solved...

before you send it in, remove the screen protector and try it again. even if it doesn't work, i wouldn't send it in w/the screen protector on anyway...
Wow! Seems the device has problems with heating up! Found this thread:

Solution: Send it back!
I had to send it back to service center. They replaced the main board! The device seems to be working fine now.
I had a problem because my touch screen was crazy, so I opened my Universal and cleaned the screen carefully. It solved the problem : I was able to calibrate again the touch screen.
10 mn ago I hard reset it, and now the screen is reversed (I have to look at it in a mirror in order to be able to read !). The touch screen is OK (I am able to navigate in the menus but have to stay in front of a mirror...)
Any idea how to solve this ?
replace flex cable.from mainboard to lcd
In order to do this, SEARCH in the Wiki for Universal manual
Good luck
Hello,
after installing some applications my display resolution is somehow damaged.
The whole screen is flickering and everything is more bright than before.
The screen looks strange as every horizontal line of the display is followed by a thin dark line, so that the whole screen is in stripes.
Furthermore the icons and text seems to be slightly bigger.
In the settings the info claims to have 800x480 and 65k colors.
All applications still work fine, but look strange with the stripes and the flickering.
What worries me most is that even after hard reset the damaged screen resolution is kept.
I hope someone has a solution.

Interlacing
That's strange, it sounds like interlacing. When you say you did a hard reset do you mean a proper hard reset, as in, turn off, two silver soft keys and reset button under battery cover, reinstalls the OS?
If you did that and it isnt fixed then it looks like you have a hardware problem. It sounds like a sync issue because it's giving the effects of interlacing (i don't think the screen is interlaced, it shouldn't be, but it's possible).
In that case, you need a new phone.
documented hard-reset
Hi alias_neo,
the reset I did was with the silver buttons and the power button.
It then asked me if i really wanted to continue and had to press the R-key.
It then took a few minutes until the phone was up again and it was a fresh install.
If some software was able to change the display to interlaced, there must be a way to reverse it again.
Regards,

Solved
The way the damage came the same way it went away again.
Suddenly the interlaced dislpay stopped
Hi everyone! im new to the forum So Ello everyone))) I,v had my wizard fr a month now and it was fine untill screen alignment become bad so i press on button and button next to it opened. Because of this i have clicked on Screen Align to align the screen but it started to loop (( dont know why because touch screen it self works perfectly. So what i supposed to do to align my screen? im using my phone by keyboard now because i just cant press any button on screen because it needs alignment. THX to anyone who has read this.
The wizard doesn't like being kept in a pants pocket. If you press with your finger firmly, running it all around the edge of the screen, that might cure the temporary insanity. Otherwise, set it aside (not in your pocket) for several minutes and try again. I got a leather belt case for mine to cure this issue.
If I'm guessing right, the first problem was that the touchscreen seemed to be very weird, so you tried to re-align it, and it always fails.
noup the problem was that i have bought the phone about 3 weeks ago it was working but when i tried screen alignment it just started to loop. I pressed it about 50 times(them 5 crosses) i dont know what to do (( because screen alignment now is crap (to exit screen alignment i need to get off battery and put it back)
Hello everybody,
I have a accidentally cracked Pixel 4. The Display cracks after it falls from around one meter height. I decided to fix the screen and buy a new one. It seems to be not an original Bit the board of the new and the old screen seems to be exactly the same. I opened the phone and replace the screen without any damage. After the screen was inserted I test it if it woks. Success! Everything works (I not tested the touch Funktion yet) after I build most of the things together I give it another try and I recognized that the touch Funktion does not work. No matter how hard I press or hold the connector down etc. I tried many things also a Hard Reset. I never seen such problem before. And my question is: is this the screen, the phone or a software problem? And how I can fix this issue? I am completely confused because I fixed many phones but something like this is new. Regularly the complete Amoled does not work.
If I go to the left upper corner, there is some movement in the screen and this also stays if I release my finger (video).
