Here is my problem, how it happened (I think) is below.
Right now the unit boots up fine, and all of the buttons work well, the only problem is that it is not accepting any sytlus input. When I touch the screen, nothing happens. I can use the buttons to navigate (to an extent) however the touch screen input is dead. The display is fine.
What I have tried:
The other odd thing is that I can no longer hard (cold) boot. I have tried repeatedly and it will only soft boot.
I have tried upgrading to a newer version of WM (5.03.02) which seemed to take fine, however I can't hard boot, so it really didn't completely upgrade.
I have a hard boot software installed on the device, however I cannot seem to figure out a way to access the start menu without the stylus.
I have left the battery off the unit for 3 days, and still wouldn't hard boot.
What I think happened:
I was using 2005 for a few weeks, and it was working fine. I left the unit in my bag for about a week, and the battery drained completely down to the point that I was unable to turn the unit on. I put it in the charger, and it came back to life, however the today screen was not where I keep it, although it was also not quite at the default either (somewhere in between). That was when I noticed the stylus wouldn't work.
My guess is that the input driver got hosed somehow. It is possible that the screen got damaged, but it was in my hard case, and it would be doubtful, but not impossible.
What I need:
Some way to hard boot the phone.
Some way to access the start menu without the stylus
Other suggestions.
Sorry for the long message, I just wanted to get down as much info as possible.
1.12.00
1337.42
5.03.02 (sort of, loaded, but not hard booted)
Thanks
