Touch screen not working. - G1 General

Hi all,
First of all let me appologise for my bad english.
I have a G1 and yesterday after i called someone the touchscreen stopped working.
Now I tried a few things to test if it was really not working
- flashed a new rom to see if it was the rom
- used a backup when it was working.
- Reset the phone.
Now I opened the G1 and noticed the Flex Cable has a little tear in it.
At first i thought that was the problem, but i dont think that cable breaks that easy if you make a phone call.
(I reassembled the phone and the lcd screen is working and all but no touchscreen)
So i was wondering, is it common of the touch screen just stops working?
And is there a way to test the touchscreen?
Many thanks,
MacWell
I'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong place or if this already has been answerd, but i couldn't find it with the search button.

not sure if this helps but if you have a screen protector, than remove it.. try cleaning the seams... not sure if it will help but i read a few posts saying it helped others...

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I do not use a screen protector.
I ordered a new G1 flex cable and I hope this will fix the problem.
However if it doesn't fix the problem I think i'll buy a new touchscreen for the G1.
But if anyone has an idea please tell me

damaged Touchscreen?

Hello,
I opened my Touch to clean the Display because there was dust inside the Phone. I used a Hoover very carefully to remove it. Then i closed the Elf and the Touchscreen didnt work anymore.
I left all wires where they were and didnt even touch the Touchpannel.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Is there any solution to reanimate the Touchpannel or do i need to buy a new one?
great problem. I hadn'e any idea that could happen. I wanted to do the same but now I think I'll do it when I'm sure it doesn't breaks my touch...
thanks for the info and let me know if you get through it....
I will send it to HTC because I am still in the time of warranty.
If I flash the original ROM they dont have anything to deny it.
If there are any news i will post it.

weird graphic issue

hey guys!
i really like you´re forum, it was helping me several times...
now i need you´re help again.
I think you will easily recognize that i have a bad problem with
my hermes - if you look at the attached pics.
The touchscreen is working, the device is booting too and is working nice...
but, uhm, well - i don´t know how to fix the problem shown in the pic.
I´d be really grateful if you can solve my problem.
I don´t know what to do, i just disambled it and cleand everything, i tried an hardreset... the problem´s still there. =(
Regards
We'll see what others think, but looking at picture 3, I'd say your LCD is cracked and the the liquid crystal seeping out a little under te digitizer layer. If I'm correct there is only one practical solution and that is a digitizer LCD combo replacement.
If you replace it be very careful to replace it with the correct one - Hermes had at least three different types and it is essential to get like-for-like.
There is a thread here about the different types.

One way to check if it's a crack is to place some pressure with your finger along that diagonal line - if you see odd colors moving around in a "liquid" way then it is pretty certainly cracked.
Ouch, i also think that, that is a crack.. Did you drop your device or something.? I think you really need to replace your display..
first of all: thx for the fast responses
i tried what you suggested to check if it´s cracked... unfortunately you´re right
i think a replacement would be too much efford and it also would be too expensive and risky... so i think i gonna buy a new pda... htc of course ;-)
thx to you all

For some reason people dont like answering hardware questions on these forums. People dont respond and then searches reveal nothing when new members ask these questions again.
So what did you do/find? Was it some connector which had come off in the fall which just needed pushing back on again?
Yes it was d-pad connector again.
Thats because sometimes people get lazy ..
I have been through that phase too...
searching "WHITE SCREEN" got me allot of results...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163&highlight=white+screen
Actually, I searched the whole forum and on net for white screen problem. And i also followed them with no positive result so I initiated a thread here. But later I keep trying/opening/reassembling the device and my device came to life but still any hardware buttons on my jasjam isn't working.
White screen issue usually involved with bad flex cable.
I Had this problem, and it was fixed by cleaning (gently) the contacts of the flex cable with toothbrush and contacts cleaner.
if that doesn't work for you, and you know that this is a flex cable issue, try to replace by a new one...
I have found this one, maybe you can find cheaper.

Touch screen not working

Hey guys, I have been so much frustrated about my htc topaz....till now it is working perfectly. Since yesterday all of a sudden touch screen stops working...with ballooning effect on screen ...previously ballooning effect was noticed before 3-4 days,but i did not pay attention on it as touch screen working at that time..
What may be the probable cause is it digitizer or lcd screen gone?
I have uploaded the pictures also..
That's the Chinese Diamond2?
If so I have the same problem with a Chinese phone... There is a part of the screen that's not working fine (like a balloon on the left side of the screen). I have to press really hard and press more to the side than it should be
I've already considered in opening the phone to try to solve the problem.
Does anyone already opened his phone with success? Any pictures available to help the task?
indresh88, sorry to use your topic but I think we both need the same...
I had the same problem, is very usual in this phone. the tecnical changed the screen.

The problem is that my phone came from China... So I would have to send it there, and that's not an option...

no definately not...it's factory unlocked asian version...also it is t5353 and official stock rom.
by the way how can we differentiate between chinese and factory unlock phone?
have you solve your problem?
Hi, use some standard scotch tape or tesa film. Stick it over the affected area and peel the tape off. This should unstick the digitizer again, it did the job for me quite often...
Cheers

Please explain that better? I only have to stick some scotch tape on the screen and peel it off?? I have a screen protector, so it's better to take it?
Thanks

I have the T5388i dual sim.
I'm no expert on those phones, but I think an easy way to know if the phone is HTC or Chinese version is the front camera side (on HTC is on the right and on the replica is on the left)
Other simple way is if it's dual sim than it's not from HTC.
If I'm telling some mistakes please someone correct me.
Concerning the problem... it's not solved

Well according to my research...If you have standard htc phone, you have device name t5353,no dual sim,htc written on left side and front camera on right side....

it helped me quite good and temporery, but how to fix it permanently...?
replace the touch screen digitizer.
eBay have many of them...
I have replaced my cracked one last month.
Two fixes for the scotch tape issue
1. Always take along some scotch tape or
2. Replace the digitizer. This can be done faily easily, see some other posts.
Cheers
I've looked at ebay for the digitizer and I've found many... the question is if they work on my phone?
I have a DUAL SIM T5388i, can anyone point me the right digitizer?
I've tried the tape but didn't worked I don't know if I'm doing it right because I've noticed no diference.
Help me!
I also have this problem, It just stopped working. I was calling, 10 minutes later when i took my phone and tried to unlock it, it did nothing, when i connect my phone in windows 7 with mobile center, I installed SOTI pocket controller, to check if it was my screen, and it was because via pocketcontroller it worked good, but how do i have to replace the screen thing, and how does it work with the tape,,
Thanks
i also had the same problem. if im not mistaken it might be due to humidity ...
i might be wrong
is there any way to fix this without replacing digitizer.
by the way i have a TD2 t5353 htc original .
Workign Solution Till Now
Hello Friends,
I have TD2 mobile and today I had same issue. I was thinking it was because of the weather or some.
I remember it did happend several time before, but when I restart the device several time it does work. So I was ignoring.... But today it did not work.. looks like going toward end... So I did soft and hard reset without and that did not helped me.
So I switched off the mobile, "heated" the touch screen gently with my hand for 1 min and started the mobile again and it worked for me .
Not sure if this is a solution, but will work.
May be I will contact Service Center here in Hyderbad and see what is wrong here?
Hope this will help you all...
Thanks.
Well, I've solved the problem... changed the digitizer...

HTC Blackstone stays in the DARK(DIMMED) PROBLEM!

Hey everyone. I searched everywhere I could find but with no avail.
Here's my problem. I replace my digitizer with another one. I replaced it just fine as far as my knowledge goes, but after all finished and everything ready and closed/screwed on, I fired it up and the backlight was GONE!
The display works, the touch works, MyMobiler works both with mouse and finger touching on the screen, but the damn screen is DIMMED! I can barely see it if I removed the digitizer or if I shed some light(flashlight) on it from an angle. But just barely.
Tried 3 different ROMs since some suggested that on another thread, did a Hard/Soft reset, with no results.
Is this a screen/dimmer problem or whatever? So if anyone with some answer please help me out. Thank you.
I know that very few look at the Blackstone section nowdays but guys I really need some advice because I need to sell it and I have to pay for repairing(hoping to avoid it) before doing so and also because I already tried everything and I had enough of disassembling it and testing every connector/flex cable if they are connected properly.
Thank you.
loose or dis-connection somewhere..
check all your ribbons are properly lined up, and connected propperly too..
