Qtek 9100 (Touch Screen not working)

[tuffpro]

Hi

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but this is my 1st post here & need a little 1to1


My touch screen on my Qtek 9100 stopped working a few days ago, the phone is ok, i can make calls & use the manual keypad.

The phone was left uncharged for a few days & when i went to use it again the touch screen was not working.

There is a dent in the screen that i did not notice before, its only about 1cm, actually its more of a scratch than a dent.

The screen looks fine, no cracks or black spots visable.

No life from the screen, whatever part i touch.

Can someone advise me on what to do to get back up & running.... I have already done this.....

Hard & soft resets

Installed latest ROM.

Phone is currently stuck on the the "touch screen to setup your mobile device screen"

I have already ordered a new touch screen from the net,

should i just change the touch screen or are there other things to try first?


Any advice welcome like

When the touchscreen went bad on mine, it turned out the cause was a tiny, almost invisible hairline crack in the touchscreen's ribbon cable which severed one of the wires. I had to use a magnifying lens to see it.

It was possible to test with a multimeter. On the back of the LCD is a piece of clear tape covering where the touchscreen ribbon is soldered to the LCD. You will need to lift the tape to expose 4 wires from the touchscreen. With pressure on the screen, there should be a resistance around 1.2kohms between pins 1&2 and the same between pins 3&4. On mine, pins 3&4 were open circuit.

To fix mine, I didn't change the screen. I removed the touchscreen ribbon from the main LCD (accidentally tearing the solder pads off the ribbon - I wasn't sure how it was attached). Then I used an X-acto knife and scraped off some plastic from each side of the break. Then I soldered a TINY piece of copper wire no thicker than a hair across the break (a single strand from a stranded wire). Since I accidentally tore the solder pads off the ribbon, I scraped off some plastic from the copper traces there and soldered some wire to them and soldered that to the LCD. That did the trick, it's all working now!
