Firstly, my screen does not show visuals. I can still touch the screen and make things happen, but it is just a back-lighted black screen. I have answered calls on it and such. Basically I'm returning it and getting a new one.
Since I am getting a new one, I want to see if anyone ever heard of this problem and to see what the cause of it is, for prevention purposes.
I didn't get it wet (the white sticker in the back is still white.) Though I have flashed PROven ROM to it a couple months ago (it's a great ROM by the way), but could that have messed up my screen?
I also wanted to know since I can't see the screen, would I have to, for warranty purposes, (blindly) reflash to the Stock ROM?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, you probably oughta return it to stock configuration (good luck on that!). If you're really lucky, that might even fix the problem. Have you done a hard reset yet? Might be worth a try, although it certainly sounds like a hardware problem.
Sounds like the flex cable has gone bad
Exactly same thing happened to me this Tuesday. Luckly I backed up info to memory card using PimBackupV2.8 with remote control software on my PC. With the remote contol tool, I could see everything as if on my phone and icons are clickable.
Hard reset did not fix the issue. I then flashed the shipped official ROM and stock SPL for warranty purpose. Will send the phone to them today for repair.
mine also like that..
from vodafone also..
the things that make me panics is the phone become hotter and hotter.

Summer is coming...
Sometimes they make updating phones too easy......
The back of my phone often gets hot I have to use the edges to hold it even though it was not a hot day and it is in my pocket.
blank screen
ya so my screen is blank white
but everything else works
i've heard something about this being a faulty "flex cable"
how can i fix this?
thanks so much for your help
how do i fix this???
did you eventually find out how to fix this/???
u ever end up fixing that? how?
thankss
Mine was still in warranty so I rang Vodafone. They sent me a special delivery envelop the following day. I sent it back to them. The following day I got a text message from them saying they got it and was working on it to fix the fault. The next day received another message saying the device was on the way back to me and I should receive it the following day.
Actually they sent me back a replacement
So.. basically.. is this a faulty flex thing?
I had the same problem for the last week until today i was about to buy another one since i dont have any warranty for this one.. I searched google and saw somebody say that just putting a business card between the keyboard and the lcd and then slide it and it works so far
hope it helps everybody
Ack! my Fuze, which I got off eBay a few months back, just went black too.
I'm not exactly sure whether it's the LCD or the flex cable, but the fact that the D-pad backlight also has become intermittent makes me think it's the cable.
So has anyone attempted the flex cable repair themselves? I see you can buy the cable for around $40 and the LCD for around $80 from Hong Kong.
Maybe this is a sign I should just get an Android device.

Did you end up fixing it? I have the same problem.
same thing happened to me Twice.... in my sleep overnight. I LOOOOOOOOVe my raphael but man this was the last straw
This maybe of some help for those of you with blank screens. I bought a Touch Pro on ebay that had a very dark screen, occasionally you could just make out some icons being displayed. Using Mymobiler showed that the basic system was working, as was the touchscreen. Other symptoms were that the camera would not work and the keypad lighting was intermittent. Sometimes on connection to Mymobiler a dialog box would come up saying there was an error with Microp?!?
Despite cleaning all internal connections and ensuring they were correctly and securely made the problem remained. I then noticed that the small camera used for video calls (in a socket on the main flex cable) looked very dirty and corroded. I removed the camera module and, using a fibreglass brush, cleaned the contacts on both the socket and the camera module. These were very badly corroded with verdigris.
On putting everything back together I was most surprised to find the screen was now working, as was the main camera. Unfortunately the ROM that is loaded doesn't seem to have any facility for checking the front video camera. There are still problems with sound - both the loudspeaker and the headphones seem to be dead and I have not had the opportunity to test GPS, Wifi, bluetooth, buttons, etc, however I will keep working on it.
Hope this is of help to someone.
Anyone else who owns a Touch Cruise have their touch screen just stop functioning altogether? I came back to use my phone which was just sitting in the car and the touch screen no longer works...Obviously this did not happen due to being dropped, though it was a little warm nothing unusual by any standard.
All the hardware keys work, everything else...just the touch screen is dead. Has anyone else had this happen and if so were there any steps to reviving the screen or was replacing it an option, if so what did you do?

I had this problem with mine, it was just to send it to their lovely repair center through the dealership since I still got my Warranty, they exchanged the front panel, witch senses the touching. Depending on where in the world you live you should be able to by a separate one, or get it repaired by them. I hope it solves for you...
Thanks, I am well out of the 1 year warrant and in the US, which is not even where this phone was originally warranted so there is no chance of that.
I believe the cost of repair outside of warranty, and the time it would take that I would be out of my phone would not be worth it. I am hoping that I could purchase a replacement screen and repair it myself...Anyone have any direction here to do so?
Let me clarify something in regards to the malfunction. The screen itself is still visible and I can see everything as I would normally on a fully functioning lcd screen...The screen simply does not respond to any touch!
Touch Screen stop
hi i install the wwe-hero-3g and it stop it say"Tap the screento setup the windows" my phone is a at&t 8525 so what can i do.
i have the exact same problem. makes the phone useless
Hi try getting into the screen set up, ie where you tap the screen on first boot. You can use the program "mymobiler" to operate the screen through the computer.
Hope this helps!!
Same ****..
Have the same silly situation. Can´t even install the above program as it is impossible to respond "yes" to question about installing.
Have just ordered a replacement digitizer from this source:

I´m getting tired of all the problems with my loved Touch Cruise.
Hello...I'm really not sure where to post this question so, if I'm in the wrong place I apologize! Anyway, I have a Samsung Transform that the touch screen completely stopped working on and I cannot figure out what to do with it. The qwerty keypad works and allows me to partially get to things but, like I said the touch screen does not work at all (including the menu button, home button, etc). The screen is in great shape cosmetically and the phone has only been used a few months. The only questionable thing that has ever happened to the phone was that my baby got a hold of it about a month ago and got a little bit of saliva in the back. I took the battery out and thoroughly dried it and it has worked fine since so I don't think that's an issue). If anyone can steer me in the right direction or knows how to repair this issue please let me know (private message is fine too!). Thanks!

Could possibly be a software issue, but it sounds to me like the digitiser. It's an overlay for your screen that registers the presses. You can get replacements, and it's not uncommon for them to just stop working randomly. It may be as simple as opening your phone and reconnecting the digitiser cable (or even giving the plug a wiggle), but this will void your warranty if you have one.
Good luck!
Hello everyone!
I have been visiting the site for a long time but this is the first time I actually post.
Well the problem I have with my nexus is that the screen stopped working a few days ago, but the touchscreen is still responding. I was walking at the beach with the phone in my pocket and after some time I realized the phone was not working. I suppose it was the humidity because the phone was completely dry.
Now the weird thing is that the touchscreen works perfectly, I can feel it when I unblock the phone, but the screen is completely black. Anyone has any idea how to fix this? I already changed the screen of my old nexus 4 a few times, but is there any other option? because I do not want to pay for the whole screen replacement when the touchscreen is working. I would say that it is just some contacts not working properly, but I do not really know how to fix that.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.
Thank you!
Maybe this thread will point in the right direction. Mentioned is flashing stock recovery.

Thanks for the reply! I tried that but it did not work and after the battery run out I realized it was not charging either. So I think the only thing left is to send it to repair to LG or something...
Hi
My son recently gave me his old Moto G5 phone. The phones charging board was broken and the screen was very badly cracked all over (it had a screen protector) and was generally not in the best of condition.
My son had bought a replacement screen several months ago, but had not got around to trying it. The battery was also totally flat.
So he gave me the phone and I installed a new charging board and the new screen and charged the battery.
Unfortunately an area of the new screen does not respond to key input . This area is a line of keys towards the bottom of the screen (not the bottom though).
My son says that he had not noticed any such problem when he last used it (he kept using it until the battery went flat; he then purchased a new phone).
I've tried doing a factory reset. I've removed and re-connected the display cable onto the main board and these have not fixed the problem .
I am not sure what to try next :crying::crying:. I could purchase yet another screen in case this new screen has a fault (probably unlikely?).
Presumably it could be the main board (digitizer?)...How can I find that out?
Maybe I have done something wrong on the install, but seems odd that the rest of the screen (as far as I can tell) works ok. What might I have done to have caused this problem?
Has anybody got any useful tips as to what I could try. Seems a waist of a good phone, not to try and repair it.
Thanks for reading this.
