Touchscreen doesn't work anymore

Well, plain and simple is that my touchscreen doesn't response to any touch reponse but the screen is working and everything else
I recently bought a white G1 housing kit on ebay and decided to take the risk of opening up my G1 to replace the housing of my black G1 to the white one, but turns out the white case for the screen / menu buttons arent correct so i scraped those and just changed the keyboard and menu button keys to white and put everything back together properly and exam each part and etc.
so i put everything back together and turn on the g1 everything works fine but the touchscreen doesn't work, is there anyway i can fix this?
life is hard using the G1 without a working touchscreen lol
thanks again and i don't think my screen is defective just wondering why it doesn't reponse to my touch
thanks
Once I was walking around in the heat with my G1 in my BDU pocket for like 4 hours, and it obviously got really humid in my pocket, and my touchscreen stopped responding. I let the phone just sit off for a while and after about an hour sitting in my room, it started working again. But I've had several instances where the touch screen has been less responsive/not responsive.
My guess based off my experience would be that some ambient moisture may have gotten into the phone when you opened it up. How long has it been since you put it back together?
Any update on this?
you said you had 2 g1s, right? so take the phone apart again and replace the touch screen.
the touch screen is separate from the LCD, so that wont affect it.

infinity loop of screen alignment

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)

G1 Screen problem

Hello, My G1 has just suffered a problem, i was scrolling down a web page and the screen faded out like it had lost power but the backlight was still on, the keys lit up and it still could make the trackball clicking noise when you moved it. I took out the battery and left it for 5 minutes and rebooted my phone and the screen turned on for about 3 seconds and faded out like before but it did boot into android as I heard the notification/startup sound. I think that the screen has burnt out but im not shore so has anybody had this problem before and/or might know how to fix it
Just some more infomation, If the screen dies and I leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it or slide the screen up, the screen works for a few seconds but then fades. Also the fading looks like the screen lost power or like its losing pixels
From my experience with phone hardware this doesnt look like screen problem, but rather the lamp driver in the motherboard. the only way to narrow down is test the motherboard /screen with another phone.
If this is the case, it might require servicing the backlight driving circuit, which by far requries soldering/desoldering some components in motherboard.

Thanks for the replies, it seems that it has fixed its self as I've been using it for about 5 hours and no problems so far, I'm using it right now to type this, if the problem persists I will try and fix it or just buy a new one

Tattoo: digitizer (touch screen) broken for the 2nd time

Hello there,
I bought my Tattoo in January this year. It went to the service centre once already, because the touch screen did not work anymore. It came back with a new one.
Today it got broken again. The symptoms; it was getting more and more difficult to get a long press, for instance to move an icon or remove a widget from the desktop. After it stopped working, I could see a dot matrix on the screen, and when the screen is off, it looks like there is some oil, diffracting the light, a bit like a rainbow.
Am I the only unlucky Tattoo owner with this kind of recursive issue? Is the life span of a Tattoo digitizer only 4 months?
What about capacitive screens - are they less fragile?
Is there any particular Android phone with a good / strong build and quality reputation?
Cheers,
JPascal.
I have similar problems with the screen. It's hardly usable. I get those rainbow-like spots on the screen, there is a big white mark at the top of the screen that fortunately I can see through when screen is on. Also the screen sometimes thinks I've pressed in places where I haven't, so it's impossible to use until I reboot. There are many other problems, and the only reason why I don't send it back to get fixed is that they keep it for weeks, and I need it.
I live in Taiwan, Taipei, so HTC support / service is not bad here. They can come and pick my cellphone at my office, and I can hope to get it back 3 days after.
I'll ask them if it's a common problem, will update this thread later.

I had same problems with digitizer.. But I fixed it :] This can happen when the screen is pressed for a longtime in pocket or the phone is dropped. But I fixed it :]
I turned the phone off, removed mask and tried to lift up digitizer little bit on side where was rainbow-like spots. When they gone, I put digitizer down and press on the side that I lifted up. Now everithing works like a charm
Yeh I have one of the rainbow spots..too i wanna know how can it be removed....cause i cant get rid of it.
that oil spot or Newton ring can be easily fixed by removing top mask and inserting sharp object between LCD and digitizer couple millimeters and then pull the digitizer up so it detaches LCD and newton ring disapears, then while you removing sharp object, used to pull digitizer up, press with finger from center outwards to pump out air and place it back firmly .. I`ve successfully fixed two HTC tattoo`s and one HTC HD display with that technique ....

[Help] Black screen

Hello good folks,
I would like a bit of help with sorting my phone out. As of Thursday morning (2 AM or so) my phone has a black screen. The phone switches on, the touchscreen works (I can unlock it, put it to silent, hold the power key and tap the places on screen that would normally switch it off to do just that), the volume keys work, I can receive calls, the back light works.
Everything is as it should be, but I cant see a damn thing!
I should note that this happened once before, about a month ago and a few hours later it was back to normal. Also, I have noticed over the past few months a very small black circle at the top edge of the screen, about half a centimetre in diameter.
Please help!
Kindest regards.
It's the first time I read such an issue, your screen's probably defective.
To eliminate a probable OS issue, does the bootloader appear flawlessly ?
No, nothing appears at all. The screen is completely black at all times!
Your screen is malfunctioning, I don't know what's causing it and I don't know if you can fix it yourself either.
I think you are better off sending it back, if still under warranty.
Otherwise, ... ?
This just happened to me NOW....I'm waiting hopefully it will fix itself as i hear the HD2 heals itself LOL
