This morning my Vodaphone 1605 just stop responding to the touchscreen, All the buttons work but the touchscreen does not. I rebooted, reflashed it but it seems to be a hardware problem. Does any one knows of a place in America I can send this phone for repair?
Thanks....
Update: Thinking that all was lost I started looking to see if i could fix the problem, and discovered that when i was trying to fix the screen alignment issue I loosen the screws in the back of the screen, I tight them back and the touchscreen started working, uff was I releaved.... But I guess this information may be of help if someone has the same problem

Guys,
I have to keep my finger pressed hard against the bottom of the lcd unit to get the screen to display to work properly. It is under warranty with Imate but they want me to send it to Abu Dhabi for repair. I'm in Canada and concerned that I may not get it back.
So has anybody else seen this & identified this as being a loose connection rather that a real hard fault. Also has anybody fixed their unit by dismantling and reseating the connections.
Finally has anybody used the Imate repair service and was it timely & reliable?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Mick
Hello,
I've recently been looking around online to figure out a solution to my problem and I came across this forum, I honestly had no clue of all of the things possible with this phone...
I have an At&t 8525 (in august I will have had it for a year) and just yesterday I started having problems with the touchscreen, when I would try to use the touchscreen nothing would be functional...after messing around on the screen I found out that the lower right hand corner of the screen (the right hand corner when the keyboard is in use) pulls up the start menu...although the touchscreen didn't work the phone itself still did, I could access the start menu and other actions on the phone by pushing the soft keys...
This morning I started toying with my phone again and it worked normally for some time and then eventually the screen started to do the same as it was doing before...so thinking that the problem was a virus or something, I figured I would reinstall wm6 back onto the phone hoping that it'd restore everything to normal...now I'm stuck on the 'welcome to windows mobile green screen' and only once have I gotten to the 'align screen'...
I truly don't know what or how to fix this problem with my touchscreen and I'm really new to all of these phone experiences...(I'm pretty sure returning the phone is out of the question)
So any help given would be very much apriciated,
-Ben

This is a loose connection between the main .. device and the touch screen . There is this cable that connects the screen and the keypad .. that has a loose contact. press the screen and the keypad together and the touch sreen should start working again . i had this same issue i don't know how to fix it.
Sounds like this problem here:

The above is an old thread. You can try the old business card trick (though it's by no means guaranteed to work). You could try a dis-assembly and reconstruction, double checking connections - particularly the screen to d-pad connection.
The Hermes unlike the Kaiser is very prone to this kind of problem and despite the threads you may see, guaranteeing a fix, I don't believe there is one fix for this problem. This is because there are several variables that can cause the problem and it just depends whether your case is caused by:
Dust trapped under the bezel
A loose connector - possibly d/pad to screen
A failed capacitor on d/pad or main board
Another failed component
Digitizer coming unglued from LCD
etc

Had the same problem right before EVERYTHING went white. Replaced the lcd altogether, about $110Aud on ebay, and everthing works great again.
Cheers....
Hey Guys, Can anyone help ?
I plugged my phone in to charge overnight like normal and when i unplugged it next morning the screen will not respond to taps. There are no cracks or damage to the screen and it hasnt had a bump.
A hard reset gets me as far as the calibration screen but again, cant do it.
Does anyone either have any ideas or can anyone recommend a good repair place in the uk ??
thanks.

Hi Andy,
If you are familiar with rom flashing you could try it before sending to repair in case it's software related.
Good luck
Arrrrrrggghhh-bloody backlight/touch bricked!
I have the same issue and it's driving me nuts!!
pressing the screen bottom left quite hard puts the backlight back on but it goes off as soon as I take my finger off.
Having done a web search, it appears that this may be a firmware issue, but if so, why, after 9 months of trouble free use, has it only just happened?
I'd be very interested if anyone else has solved this issue. Is there patch or is it a hardware issue?
My otherwise excellent touch is effectively bricked-any help or suggestions at all would be appreciated!
A fix (sort of)
I bit the bullet and ordered a replacement LCD module online and fitted it. It worked, proving that there was indeed an issue with the original. Problem is, the quality of the new one is really bad so DON'T buy a replacement online is my advice. I've now sent my beloved Touch back to HTC to get it fixed...
Hopefully I'll have it back and working soon.
FIXED !
i know this is gonna sound weird but i bought a BENQ_E72 while my touch wasnt working and i kinda forgot about the touch in the meantime. Yesterday i came back to the touch and lo and behold its working perfectly. Screen align is working, taps are going through and i cant see a problem.
Now i have read a thread about the Digitizer filling up with dust and yes my front case does have 2 hairline cracks in it so i am thinking a strip apart, new case and clean and go from there if it does it again. Odd how leaving it to discharge compleely for a couple of months has 'cured' the problem
Just thought i would share this with you

For a bit time ago i accidently broke my lcd display on my hd2, and because htc could not fix this cheap i decided to try myselvf.
first i ordered a lcd and a new digitizer and soldered them together and fixed everything just like in the video and the lcd started to work, but now my touch pad does'n work! I can't do anything
Then i took the screen out and ordered a new one from ebay which was assembled from the shop.
And same resault
what could be the problem? I have a danish hd2 and i have tried to update the firmware after i replaced the screen and digitizer and still no respond
what could be the problem?
hey, did u fix the digitizer yet. i had a similar problem. the volume buttons got stuck in and i decided to open it and fix it. right after closing it back the digitizer stopped functioning...............please let me know asap if u managed to fix urs and how u did it thanks
Same problem here
I've got the exact same problem. Replaced LCD and digitizer but it is still not working. Additionally the screen is a little yellowish. Anyone knows if this might be related and any idea who to possibly fix this?
Hi, I have exactly the same problems, even tried with 2 fresh new digitizers. Could it be that they are extremely sensitive on the inside? Or is it some glitch somewhere?
Extremely frustrating!
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
well mine is in the scrapped now. when my digitizer arrives and i sort things out i will get back to you
Hi, I bought HD2 with broken digitizer, so after it came to me I immediately buy new digitizer, didn't look for the cheapert but once again I resolve myself to never buy things for china digitizer doesn't work so I need to new one from USA, send it to my friend and he repair it within day, now everything work... and yes digitizer are very sensitive
Hey guys,
I just ended up with a g1 for a good deal. Only problem is that the touchscreen has a problem were it will shake back and forth between screens. I mean If im on the home page, and i slide it left or right to the other pages. It dances between the 2 for a couple for a seconds. Also I cant touch anything in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. So that brings me to my question. Since the glass is intact, that would mean that the digitizer is busted? As you may have noticed I really dont know. But if anyone could offer any help in my direction because I'd like to fix this myself. As Always...
Thanks in advance,
Lord CraiguS
Please i have the same problem. I would like to know thanks.
Same problem
As for me, this problem started when i`ve replaced the digitizer with a new one. It seems exactly the same as you described. I`ve noticed, that it dissapears temporary when i block the device (power button) and unblock it again. But sooner or later it appears again.
I suppose it is some internal bad contact in connection or in a flexcable of touchscreen.
However, not solved this problem yet.
Seems to be that i found a solution at least for my G1. I`ve installed a new CyanogenMOD 6.1.0-RC1 (i had 6.0.0 previously) - and the problem is not appearing for at least 2 hours!
I suppose it is somehow related with software handling of touchscreen taps.
