is your ribbon cable ok? also maybe it is time to get a new wizard or one with a broken screen.

I thing so, but I am not very sure of it. Of course,
I was in need to open my wizard and unpluged ribbon of keyboard, but I control it. All seems to be ok. Oh MY, what can be done??
There were two ribbons, one small, and the seccond is a bit wider. Think , both was connect well.
But now keyboard not work. Any suggestions, please?

today keybord which looks dead respond by key Z, all others are still dead. What does it mean?

New X01HT owner with questions

hi, i'm a new owner and there are a few things that are bugging me and i'm not sure if it's normal or if it's problematic.
-the start menu pops up sometimes when i slide out the keyboard. is this normal?
-the device can only be charged when the usb is connected to my computer, but not when the usb is connected to an ac adapter.
-keys are mixed up (i supposed because of the Japanese keyboard layout, and i think i saw a fix for this)
when sliding out the keyboard, it takes about 6-8 seconds to adjust from portrait to landscape(with the start menu popping up when going to landscape).
-is it normal for the touchscreen to be completely unresponsive when the keyboard is slid out?
-the touchscreen is completely unresponsive sometimes while the keyboard is hidden and i have to either press random buttons or slide the keyboard in and out to get response back.
sorry for my noobishness and thanks in advance.
ok i've managed to solve the keyboard layout problem and i guess the delay is typical,. but the following problems/issues still exist:
-the start menu pops up sometimes when i slide out the keyboard. is this normal?
-the device can only be charged when the usb is connected to my computer, but not when the usb is connected to an ac adapter.
-is it normal for the touchscreen to be completely unresponsive when the keyboard is slid out?

Hi ji1386
I'm afraid that does not sound good. I have seen at least two other cases where the keyboard being slid out causes the start menu to pop up. It was concluded that pressure is being put on the touch sensitive screen by the mechanism. This is a hardware issue and can also show as programmes suddenly closing for no ovvious reason and I think this may also be responsible for the touch screen not responding when keyboard open. In summary pressure on the touch sensitive screen somewhere when there should not be.
If the device is under warranty I'd go for an immediate replacement. Perhaps just before doing so I would try a HARD reset just to be sure.

No it's not normal. The screen should respond as normal. For example when using word, even with the keyboard ou you should still be able to tap for the soft keyboard, tap on bold, centre, tap in text to inser a word etc etc.
If you can't I think it's because the keyboard mechanism is somehow putting pressure at some point on the screen i.e the same issue as the start menu popping up. If a hard reset does not cure this then it's a repair job or replacement under warranty I'd say.

thanks mike for all your help.
More bad news...since yesterday, the touch-screen no longer responds at all...completely unresponsive to tap or touch. I've tried hard/soft reseting and still got nothing...
I have however managed to get it to charge through a wall outlet. but it's a bit buggy...
Unfortunately, I bought this phone used locally and the guy isn't responding to any of my phone calls/emails, but whatever karma will come back to haunt him...I was thinking about taking this to a small claims court, but i dunno how to go about doing so and if my case will hold up...
anyway, I've had to take it to a repair shop. They said they'd order in a screen and replace it for $150 cad and it should fix it, if not a diagnosis charge of 20 bucks...
this should bring the total cost of this phone to $725cad...great...
Hopefully it solves all my problems. I'm guessing the start menu problem and the touch responsiveness problems get solved after this.

I certainly hope it works out ok. Changing the screen assumes (possibly correctly) that the screen is at fault. If the screen is fine just getting pressure put on it somewhere then it will be a bit of luck whether it solves problem or not. A key problem here is that the screen is sensitive to touch, even on the area under the bezel - which of course is absolutely daft. Combine this with the fact that there is not a lot of room for heat expansion and the slide out keyboard can cause minor distortions in the casing and you have potential for a certain percentage of devices to have problems. Thankfully now far less than early models but still being reported.
Good Luck
Mike
Took it to a repair shop this week. Opened it up and looks like a damaged flex ribbon cable (possibly from sliding out the keyboard or just a faulty cable) is the culprit behind the unresponsive touchscreen.
Apparently those are impossible to find (if not very hard). i live in Canada where parts for these phones are quite scarce, so I'm not too sure what i should do. The guy said he could try to find a replacement part, but it'd take almost a month.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention it to let anyone with unresponsive touch screens know. I guess just add this to the list of possible causes.
how did you fix keyboard layout problem
Ji1836,
Can you please let me know how you solved the keyboard layout problem.
I also have a softbank X01HT with a japanese keyboard layout. I have upgraded to WM6 BLACK 2.5. But some keys are mixed up like the dot and comma and others as well. I tried the fixes in the wiki but nothing worked.
Aprreciate your help.

Some buttons on slide out keyboard not working

I just received my JasJam after main board replacement and now I find that some buttons (O,P,L,<ENTER>, <WINDOWS>, <LEFT>, <RIGHT> and <DOWN>) aren't working!
I tried hard reset but that didn't solve the problem. Plz help.
send it back!!

That sounds right. There is no known software issue that makes keyboard behave like this. Much more likely they have not fully engaged the ribbon connector.

Touchscreen not responsive unless left softkey is constantly pressed

Hey guys!
I've seen people complain about broken Wizard LCD/touchscreen around here but none of them said anything about partially functioning touchscreen. So here it goes:
A few days ago my phone stopped responding to taps. Just like that! I updated the phone with the latest ROM from HTC (official) and no change. Since then I've been lurking this forum trying to find something similar ...
I've flashed it with custom roms, now I'm trying the WM6 with the hope that maybe the touchscreen will respond to taps by itself, without me having to keep the left softkey pressed while tapping. I can't decide if this is a hardware or a software issue.
If anyone should have any idea about this, please advise. I'm not afraid to open it up or anything like that...
ps: waiting on a replacement touchscreen I ordered off of eBay. ($12)
Thanks a bunch,
kevin
Same Problem
My touchscreen has been acting up lately and today it just stopped working. Tried many things like you with no luck. However I followed your advice on pressing the left soft key and the touch screen started working.
Does anyone have any clues?
touch screen prob.
if your touch screen is not responding then you have to chang the touch screen if it responce some where in time then you open you device and just resolder the touch screen film connector (back side of screen)its just get drysoldered thats why these things happen like you press rite side of screen and it geting work again if relese its stop working................
you have to do only re sloder the connector of touchscreen
Different Problem
Like the post originator said, the screen does work, you just have to hold the left soft key down while tapping. Also did take it apart and didn't see any problems.
Mine just developed this issue, anyone have a fix? I've got a digitizer (Touch panel) on order from ebay as a 1st step. Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Ok this is odd, but I'm suddenly having the same issue. Touchscreen doesn't work unless I'm holding the left soft key as well... This has to be software right? Anyone have any ideas yet?
I dont have this problem.. but this is 'interesting' I'm wondering, if it is hardware or software problem. For hardware problem, you can try pressing on the area around the left softkey rather than the left softkey. For hardware, you can check to see if it is working after a hardreset?

This issue has to be related to corrupted software that was installed, I mean how can this many people have the same exact problem around the same time if it's hardware related. Compare notes: All those having this issue,submit the most recent software that was installed, and if everyone installed the same thing, then that's the culprit!

Front panel button problems

Hi,
I have a problem with the front panel buttons on my tytn.
The mail/IE, D-pad etc and call buttons dont work.
Often they don't light up.
When they do, they often don't switch off when turning off the tytn
Occasionally, they do work.
I have tried taking hte machine to bits and looking at the ribbon cable attachments - they seem OK. Sliding the keyboard out doesnt seem to alter anything.
I tried flashing up to WM 6.1 from 6.0 but that didnt help
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks

P4350, changed housing, everything OK but screen rotation when opening keyboard

Guys, I changed the housing of my old P4350.
Everything works perfectly. Screen, buttons, keyboard, etc.
Tha only issue is that the screen is not rotating when I slide the keyboard.
What did I miss?
anyone please?
no one? please help
Probably is only a frosen image If you leave the keyboard out for a while at one point the image should rotate if this is not the case you should try to soft-reset the phone or change to a more stable rom that may help and u will see a difference.
Worse case you may need to dismantle it again, there is a sensor between the screen an the keyboard that rotates the screen as it slides, I know is a pain to take it apart again. I also did replace my HTC 4350 with a black housing but did not encounter that problem.
good luck.
