My touchscreen won't work.

I've done everything I could do without taking apart the phone.
I don't know what's wrong, sometimes it will work sometimes it won't.
Now though, I reinstalled WM5 (latest cingular build) and I have to tap the screen to start using it, but the screen won't work.

that happened to me when I put a screen protector on my phone. I took off the protector and the phone worked again

I dont have one of those.

Has the mobile fallen on the ground? Make sure the screen doesn't have any dust on the borders... if there is contact on the screen on any point, it won't recognize any other point of touch (multi-touch is not supported by our screens).

I'll try cleaning that out when I get a can of compressed air

I got it to work for a second so I can use the phone. Now I just want it to always work.

Thanks so much for this post!!

The other day my touch screen stopped responding to my taps.. The lcd worked fine and I could still navigate with the buttons, it just wouldn't respond to touch..
So I was almost ready to take my phone apart to see if the digitizer connection was loose.. I decided to search around and see what other ppl had to say about TS problems.

I read this post and started to go around the edges of the screen with a business card and lo and behold it started to work again.. Must've just been some dirt up in there.. You just saved me a huge headache!

Thanks dferreira ;)

My screen is all white now.


Anyone know how to take apart the phone, I'm thinkin my ribbon is not connected right.
