Touch screen not working

[indresh88]

Hey guys, I have been so much frustrated about my htc topaz....till now it is working perfectly. Since yesterday all of a sudden touch screen stops working...with ballooning effect on screen ...previously ballooning effect was noticed before 3-4 days,but i did not pay attention on it as touch screen working at that time..

What may be the probable cause is it digitizer or lcd screen gone?

I have uploaded the pictures also..

That's the Chinese Diamond2?

If so I have the same problem with a Chinese phone... There is a part of the screen that's not working fine (like a balloon on the left side of the screen). I have to press really hard and press more to the side than it should be

I've already considered in opening the phone to try to solve the problem.

Does anyone already opened his phone with success? Any pictures available to help the task?

indresh88, sorry to use your topic but I think we both need the same...

The problem is that my phone came from China... So I would have to send it there, and that's not an option...

no definately not...it's factory unlocked asian version...also it is t5353 and official stock rom.

by the way how can we differentiate between chinese and factory unlock phone?

have you solve your problem?

Hi, use some standard scotch tape or tesa film. Stick it over the affected area and peel the tape off. This should unstick the digitizer again, it did the job for me quite often...

Please explain that better? I only have to stick some scotch tape on the screen and peel it off?? I have a screen protector, so it's better to take it?

Thanks

I have the T5388i dual sim.

I'm no expert on those phones, but I think an easy way to know if the phone is HTC or Chinese version is the front camera side (on HTC is on the right and on the replica is on the left)
Other simple way is if it's dual sim than it's not from HTC.

If I'm telling some mistakes please someone correct me.

Concerning the problem... it's not solved

Well according to my research...If you have standard htc phone, you have device name t5353,no dual sim,htc written on left side and front camera on right side....

it helped me quite good and temporery, but how to fix it permanently...?

 

[Clound]

replace the touch screen digitizer.
eBay have many of them...
I have replaced my cracked one last month.

 

[badari]

Two fixes for the scotch tape issue

1. Always take along some scotch tape or
2. Replace the digitizer. This can be done faily easily, see some other posts.
Cheers

I've looked at ebay for the digitizer and I've found many... the question is if they work on my phone?
I have a DUAL SIM T5388i, can anyone point me the right digitizer?
I've tried the tape but didn't worked I don't know if I'm doing it right because I've noticed no diference.

Help me!

I also have this problem, It just stopped working. I was calling, 10 minutes later when i took my phone and tried to unlock it, it did nothing, when i connect my phone in windows 7 with mobile center, I installed SOTI pocket controller, to check if it was my screen, and it was because via pocketcontroller it worked good, but how do i have to replace the screen thing, and how does it work with the tape,,

Thanks

i also had the same problem. if im not mistaken it might be due to humidity ...
i might be wrong
is there any way to fix this without replacing digitizer.
by the way i have a TD2 t5353 htc original .

Workign Solution Till Now

Hello Friends,

I have TD2 mobile and today I had same issue. I was thinking it was because of the weather or some.

I remember it did happend several time before, but when I restart the device several time it does work. So I was ignoring.... But today it did not work.. looks like going toward end... So I did soft and hard reset without and that did not helped me.

So I switched off the mobile, "heated" the touch screen gently with my hand for 1 min and started the mobile again and it worked for me .

Not sure if this is a solution, but will work.

May be I will contact Service Center here in Hyderbad and see what is wrong here?

Hope this will help you all...

Thanks.
