Hey,
The other morning I was using my HTC Sensation XE Z715e as normal, put it down, came back to it an hour or so later, and the touch screen is completely unresponsive. Not flakey response from it, but stone cold dead.
I can switch the phone off/on using the power button, boot into recovery mode using the power/volume buttons, and it still receives calls/messages/emails, but the touch screen is completely dead.
I'm using an Anker battery, so tried the common fix of raising the grounding pin to contact the back case better and folding up some tin foil under the ground pin, but that had no effect. Let the battery completely discharge, pushed the power button with the battery out, left overnight, then re-charged without touching it and still nothing.
I've been through the stickied [FIX] Touchscreen issues thread and haven't found any of the fixes in there have had any effect... Although I'm not sure what firmware I am running, nor how to update it as it is at the moment..
I disassembled the phone far enough to connect a new digitizer to the logic board, booted again and the new digitizer was also dead to the touch. I tried this with the new digitizer hanging loose on the ribbon cable all laid on the desk rather than completely reassembled.
I've since reassembled the phone with all the older hardware.
Problem is that I'm running one of the Cyanogen ROMs with 4EXT Recovery Touch, meaning that when I select Factory Reset from the recovery mode boot screen, it launches into a recovery screen that requires touch input :-/
Anyone know of a way to force a reset through USB? Or anything else to try?
and please treat me like a 5 year old when explaining things to me....
Many thanks!
