I just bought a wing cheap and the problem was that even after a hard reset you could not get past the touch screen to set up since it wont recognize you touching the screen. I figured it would be a quick fix since i have fixed my 8925 and 8125 countless times. Turns out I am out of ideas anyone have any suggestions?

The person that sold you the phone obviously lied about something. There is a reason why you got it for dirt cheap. Just go eBay a new screen and install it yourself. Since you don't need a lcd replacement, just look for that touch screen replacement part.

The touch layer usually goes bad first. They're seperate from the LCD because the manufactures know they'll need to be replaced. People like to tap the screen like they're trying to impale the phone. (P.S. Never let your girlfriend use your stylus.:mad:) If going to bootloader and reflashing doesnt work, Albert's plan is the best. They usually go for $40 or so.
