HELP! Toch Screen doesn't Work

[franjoe1985]

:mad:
Firstly - I Have read the wiki and beleive my problem does not relate.

I was using rltoday on my today screen and decided to change the refresh rate in the xml file to show seconds on the clock. As soon as i changed it my touchscreen failed. I have tried everything in the wiki to fix it if it was a screen alignment issue - but its not.

Can someone please help me?

I have:
HTC hermes (Orange SPVM3100)
Pro Black 2.5 ROM
1.40 radio

Need more info. Is it just not touch sensitive is the screen blank, have you soft reset etc.

Its just not touch sensetive, i have soft reset. Someone told me to hard reset and now i'm stuck in the "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device". It won't acknowlege the tap.

Have you accidentally dropped it or anything to that effect??

Or is this literally just since you tweaked the clock refresh rate??

[franjoe1985]

It's literally sine i tweaked the clock refresh rate. I havent dropped it or done anything else like that.

try reflashing a new ROM in it if you fucked with the clock speed that was stupid since i dont think at the moment there are any apps that properly clock the processor

I would just be cautious not to assume a screen fault as opposed to some other fault. If you are taking it for repair that's one thing but if you were thinking of replacing the screen yourself it might still not work.

You were right, my friend owns an electronics shop and had a spare screen. I replaced it and it still doesn't work.

Update!

My touch screen does work! If i hold the stylus in the top left corner of the screen and drag it down, the start menu appears. I can also go up and down in the settings menu. I have followed the instructions for screen alignment, hasn't made any difference.

Where should i go from here?

thanks

I have the same situation as you.

I took my x01ht to a repair shop. Touch screen replacement is not work.

The technician said that hermes uses Samsung CPU which integrates with touch screen controller.
In order to fix our problem, replacing the CPU(board) is needed.


Don't know whether that is true or not:(

Somehow get to the notes application and try drawing on the screen. This will let you know whether only the left side of the screen is working.
If you get weird shapes coming up then you'll just have to send it for repair as it's not as people often assume, just a screen problem.

EDIT: Hang on!!! How can you have done the screen alignment if the screen is not touch sensitive at the 5 crosshairs on screen??????

That is possible, though without being able to test the device it's not possible to say for sure.

My problem is exactly like wundis in this post.
When the device uses actively, the touch screens stops respeonse.

It's lucky that most fuctions in wm5 can be handled by hardware button.

I did the screen alignment by connecting the device to my PC with activesync and deleting the "Welcome" file in the windows startup folder. Now its working fine without touch screen'.

Nothing draws when in Notes

Update.

I've been stupid. the touch screen wasnt working, i was just pressing so hard it was pushing the keypads in. What an egit!
