If it is defect, you can replace your touchscreen for low costs. I paid 20 euro's for my new touchscreen. You also need an T6 torx to open your mobile.

Get a new digitizer on eBay, fairly cheap and easy to replace. Can get one to match your housing color. Less than 20 Euro for sure.
thanks for reply back soon..
there is no way to recover my touch screen??
any technical way to recover my touch screen, techies help me out...
I don't seem how you could 'repair' it. I think it is broken or not. Or the connecter is not in the right position. If so you must open up your mobile either way. I think it's best to just replace the touchscreen it also removes the scratches if you have those. And it's very cheap.
thanks cywood.. its not broken, just it stops working..
negaboys , the same thing just happened to me too. I run the tweaking applications here - doing the HD Tweak and Kaz TD2 instructions only. Then rebooted my AT&T Tilt. After the Titl started, the touch screen no longer worked. And when I went into the utilities to undo the changes I had made, but the applications require a touch for you to use them.
I am really stuck.
digitizer
i thinks it is less effort and much easier to replace the touch screen. its called digitizer. if u r in india ull get it for rs300/-. changing it is extremely easy, just google and search for videos on htc screen replacement. it took me just 45 minutes to open my htc and change the screen.

in your case, it will probably be fixed with a hard-reset.

Hi Praveen,
from where u got the digitizer...? was it original?
mine also stopped working two days back. I am in chennai and just heard that HTC has opened a new service centre here so maybe i can try out my luck there.

The hard reset fixed my problem. I also had corrupt files on my microSD card, so I formatted it as well.
Its amazing how many problems that look like hardware issues are actually software/file system issues.
For those who jumped right to "replace the screen" as a solution, I believe you need to rethink your troubleshooting strategy, as you'll convince people to spend time and money performing a fix action that doesn't work.

That is a great program! I've heard of it before, but never thought I would need it. It looks useful for getting screen shots from your mobile device as well.

Solution
Okay, I've just had this problem with an HTC Touch, and I think this works with any HTC that has a "digitizer" rather than an all-in-one touchscreen (I think newer phones have digitisers).
I'm not sure if this will always work, but I've just done it - sometimes the inactive touch screen is "broken" because the layers are stuck together (so the phone can't tell where the touch is, hence unresponsive). With mine, I looked at the screen side on and could see a kind of "oily" patch in the light.
The solution is to get masking/gaffa tape - the very sticky brown one. Stick it down on the screen/digitizer and then keep pulling it off - this pulls the layers from each other. I kept repeating this lots before it worked - and in the end I pulled the top layer completely off (I think you should pull from the top of the phone, as the layers need to be attached at the bottom of the screen/digitizer). Once it pulled away, I gently lay it back down (after panicking!!) and hey presto it started working again.
Good luck!

Hi guys, I am a newbie member of this forum, even though I used to browse through the lot of useful information found here some time before.
I recently bought a MDA PRO, which was sim locked to German T-Mob. I managed to unlock it thanks to Buzz's unlocking tool. (really great)
The problems appeared after applying the patched radio version, and upgrading using UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE.exe or UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe the touchscreen stopped working. Actually I m not putting the SIM Unlock or ROM Upgrade in connection with the touchscreen failure (because I've done them before and everything worked fine), I just would like to ask if anyone has experienced this problem before.
Now after I finished upgrading to one of the above mentioned ROMs and made a hard reset on the device I got stuck on the touchscreen setup. It just does not respond.
I will be really thankful for whatever help and support

Thank you for your effort, Farbird. Unluckily it didn't work at all. Maybe I shouldt try to leave the device without battery for a longer period of time.
well, thank you anyway.
Hey micro
If yr screen was working earlier then in the LapTop mode try to apply small pressure on the 4 corners of the cover/lid(Not LCD) and check..
Normally this happens when one replaes a touch screen..the device does not remember the earlier setting so touch screen doesn't respond..one has to manually go to screen option and do it..it starts working..
Try above and post..

Thank you hdubli, but this hasnt solved my problem.
By setting the screen manually, were you speaking of setting in via "settings" menu - system in WM5 ?
I think I m going to have the MDA replaced, just hope they will not make too much hassle about it being sim unlocked
So I have a pda (xda) Orbit 2, it’s from O2. While I was at Glastonbury 08 towards the end of the festival I found that I couldn't unlock the phone. I.e. you would press unlock (bottom left button) and then confirm that you want to unlock the phone. This is the standard way to unlock the phone normally. So the problem then was that it had the unlock at the bottom at the left but you can't click on it :s. Ok it was the last day so I just thought it'll work by the time I get home just leave it turned off. Got home charged it worked perfectly.
Now I’ve that problem once since then. Fixed the problem the same way. Plugged it into the mains bobs your uncle it fixed it.
This time its different I have tried everything. Soft reset, taking about the battery, charged it fully and let the battery die out complete. Nothing will get rid of this problem I just can't unlock my phone. I can still receive calls but can't read text's emails. Very frustrating. If people haven't got clues its off to 02 flash the phone loose everything then tell me they have no idea what is wrong with it. Hell I can flash the phone myself O another key factor is i know the screen still has sensitivity becuase when i touch the screen a similar screen to that of the unlock screen comes up, only without the unlock button.
Anyway any thoughts anybody?
ok Chang phones touch screen
ok i think your phones touch screen is gone plese chang the touch screen
lol, easily said. That would be a rather large pain i have to say cheers for the reply though
Incase i didn't make it clear everything on the screen is fine. I thought maybe i had aligned my screen some how just very very badly.
bro,
bro, we r here to give solutions not pain or fellings
Thanks

of which i fully appreciate. But changing an entire screen is a pain which ever way you look at it.
no not changing the entire screen
bro you need to chang the only touch panel not the screen, screen and touch panel r the diffrent T.P is mounted on screen and you can chang it withc good hardware guy.
Thanks

well lets hope the warranty cover's this. Either wise my silly insurance will have to
Since some time I have this problem that when I turn on the Pro I have to 'unlock' the device. At the bottom on the left you tab the screen to unlock and next you tab the rightside of the screen somewhere half way and than it should 'unlock'. But it seems that my screen is not aligned and when I touch the right side I can see the screen 'light up' on the left side.
After unlocking using the keyboard I can touch the right side eg the 'X' to close the phone but instead I get the start menu. If I touch the 3 on the phones softkeys I get a 1.
Any idea is welcome.
hard reset, so you can align the screen at the beginning...
or use your keyboard to navigate to start->settings->system tab->screen and run "align screen"

The 8525 (aka hermes) has been known since first release that some device will have screen alignment problems, I personally sent my TyTN back to HTc europe a few weeks after i got it (August 2006) and the screen alignment issue was fixed, something to do with gaskets around the touch screen expanding??
Ive sent my Raphael back after 20 days because the LED behind the "Send" key stopped working, but im getting my replacement back some time this week.
There are ALWAYS problems with HTC devices but that doesnt make me love them any less
Advice to the OP: if the device isnt working correctly get it RMA-ed for a replacement/repair, these are expensive devices and you shouldnt settle for anything faulty
I'm having the same problem as mrvanx
i've been digging in the registry and found
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / HARDWARE / Touch / calibrationdata with a numerical value
is this where the screen cailbration data is stored and has someone looked at this? Kinda n00b with this and could'nt find anything related to this on the forum. Could use some help, cuz this constant un-alignment thing is driving me nuts.
Maybe someone knows a base value that's close to perfect alignment, if there is such a thing?
thanx
Hello everybody.
My Touch Pro got a bad touchscreen, the center part is dead.
So when I want to allign my screen, I can't get past the center cross.
I can allign my screen but then I have to tap all crosses slightly on the right.
But now everything is missalligned.
So could someone post me his/hers CalibrationData from the registry?
It needs to be from a Touch Pro/Raphael..!
It located at: HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH/CalibrationData
It would really help me out!
Thanks..

I had the same problem. Where-ever I touched the screen, only the left side of the phone highlighted.
After the re-alignment, it worked !!
Bad thing : I have to do it every 2 days :-(
And yes : I'm using my phone A LOT !!!! (It's just a part of me (Am I becoming nuts ?))
Screen alignment problem correlated to high temperatures?
Hi guys,
Since a week I've had problems with my screen alignment all the time. Sometimes the touchscreen worked fine, sometimes it was completely off. Re-aligning it in settings worked most of the time. Soft resetting worked too sometimes.
But today the problem just went away. I started thinking and came up with the idea that sunny weather and high temperature may induce this problem, since the problem started when it was great weather here. And it magically went away today, which is a rainy day (with moderate temperature 15-20 C).
Could any of you confirm this? Are you living in a warm environment? Does the problem go away when in an airconditioned space? (Mine did)

how did this happen? i also encounter a similar problem, when the phone gets warm... when i press on the right side, the click registers mode and more to the left... and when that happend, if i try to go to the alignment screen, it just hangs in there like.. forever... if i put the phone in standby mode, everything gets back to normal in a few minutes.. the problem repeats every time the phone gets warm...
Same
First i was also having the similar problem but now its totally unaligned i.e even after a time its same i click on extreme left it click on extreme right

i dont know if this might help
i used to have flickering screen, not being able to display alpha blend, transparencies or the colour black, and also not being able to keep the screen alignment (it resets everytime i soft reset the phone) ....
this happens when i used the latest update from htc.
it seems that the upgrade is not suitable for devices bought in 2008 as it has the ols original spl.
i read in the forum and found out that the radio, and the hard spl was part of the problem. so i read on and found that by using Olipro's hard spl 1.93 will fix most of the problem. but its for only gsm devices.
i flashed 1.93 hard spl and all my problems went away...
just sharing!!
i can see some leaked fluid above my screen ........... i cannot even explain it , because it's above the screen but i cannot touch it ........ so it's in between.....
i've had the same thing happen to me and sent it in for warranty.
came back ok for awhile, now its happening again. I usually just suspend my phone (power button) and give the LCD a rub that helps it a little, buts its quite unbearable at times.
I've sent it in to warranty for a second time today, warranty is expiring on the 8th of next month so they better fix it by then .

I have the same screen align problem. When the phone gets hot, the screen alignment screw up, similar to this one:

I was told this is a hw problem as I've tried flashing different ROMs, update radios etc. but still doesn't help.
Right now I'm trying to avoid using the phone when charging or when it becomes warm. That seems to help a bit. Not sure if replacing the screen will help but a few folks here have suggested that.

Long story short: it is a hardware problem! nothing you can do to fix it via software... and it gets worse, so get it fixed
I have just received mine from service a few days ago... Of course i lost my warranty and I paid almost 200$ to get it fixed... The front case gets replaced entirely (that includes both digitizer and LCD), because it comes in one piece... all components are stuck together that is, even if you have a perfectly working LCD, it will be replaced anyway... Fortunately this helped and I am not experiencing any problems... Also I've been told that this problem may occur again, after some time (1-2 years), if the phone is heavily used (gps, connected on 3G + screen awake for a long period of time), and that the simptoms may vary: some get the digitizer / misalignment problem, others get weird spots on their lcd, etc...
Hope i didn't make to many mistakes and that my reply will help you understand and get your problem solved...

I'm not too sure about that actually - how you stated the LCD / Digitizer and case comes all in one.
I've actually experienced the same issue, sent it back the first time. Fonebiz did not replace anything but a flex cable. Ironically, issue came back after a months time.
Sent it in a second time for warranty, i specifically included a note stating the issue - they replaced the LCD, but did not replace the digitizer; so guess what ? issue came back within the month.
Phone was finally out of warranty, i decided to send HTC a ***** email and they were very helpful and they've promised me a replacement. Waiting for Fonebiz to check for hardware faults if its all clear then i get a new phone

i assure you cannot replace just the lcd, not without a hammer! I got my old part back, I can take some pictures of it, just in case And the digitizer is one and the same with the front case... the diamond is a very small phone, that's why there are no screws or other stuff to hold together the lcd and the rest of the case.
So unfortunately for you, they may have told you they replaced the lcd, but i think they did nothing :|
It is very clear that we had the same problem... the digitizer itself got broken... not some cable or lcd
anyway, if your phone has warranty, you are a happy man
First of all Hello and thank you for having a great forum. I have learned a lot from the posts that I have read. Ok, like I said my touch screen lost its touch. It started acting up last week and got to the point where it would not accept touch input. I tried a hard reset, but I still have the same problem.
I am beginning wonder if any of you sages and guru's may have come across something like this in the past. I tried flashing the device but it is difficult since I can not touch the screen to ok the program load.
So, do I have a hardware or software problem? Also, are there ways to select a soft key other than touch? Thanks for reading and if you got any ideas let me know.

I would say its a hardware failure, especially since you flashed your phone and your screen still wont register any touch. But I would wait for a second opinion before I take it in to be serviced.
Thanks, but I was not able to flash only reset it using the alternative method described on Verizon's website. I am trying to flash the phone with a new ROM, but the phone prompts me to click 'yes' or 'no' on the screen to install new software. Of course, that is a no go. I tried to flash from the security unlocked screen but the flash program will not run. I am almost out of options.
You woudn't be using a case on the phone by any chance, would you? I have noticed some cases extend onto the screen too far, causing it to be touched, and then it wont recognize any other screen touches.
I went through the same thing a year ago, and I found some posts from people with the same problem.
It is caused by gunk getting in groove around screen.
take a business card or similar thickness paper and drag through groove around screen.
If that does`nt work get a piece of duct tape and apply to screen and gently pull off at steep angle.
It will lift screen back up and unstick it.
Oh my God... only now I understand what could happened to my Raphael:-O
