[Q] Screen not working but touchscreen still responding - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

G1 dev phone screen does not respond amost 70% of time

i purchased g1 from ebay, right from day1 the screen does not respond properly in fact most of the times. i need to reset soft one to at least g1 working. i upgraded to jesusfrake adp1.1 but issue is same. looks like a s/w bug or problem as if it were a h/w problem it would not have worked at all. if iam lucky it works like a charm but stops responding once i get some sms/email alert or install any app from market. can someone help here!!
Have you already tried reflashing the firmware? If not, do that. Otherwise, why don't you contact the person you bought the phone from. It sounds like it may be a hardware problem which might be why that person was selling it.
i did flash everything from bootloader to firmware to rooting. but problem remains same...it works for 5 minutes and again screen stops responding but trackball is active....right now iam on latest JF formware..
is anyone facing a simillar problem??? any work arounds....
Sometimes my home screen goes completely blank on me and seems nonresponsive for about 30 seconds. Can be pretty annoying. It seems to happen when I'm switching from an app to the home screen.
Contact HTC directly and ask for an exchange or something. All G1's have been out for less than a year and so they should be covered by warranty.
I put a new screen protector on my G1. I noticed that it had a bad reaction with the touch and I took it off. After I took it off, my touch screen got much worse. It was very jumpy and unuseable. There was a practically invisible film on the screen (couldn't even really feel it. I took a little bit of soap on a lint free cloth and wiped the screen down and let it sit for just a minute (to soak any residue) and wiped away. My screen worked perfect after that.
I was ready to call in for a replacement.
could it be a bug as if it were a hardware problem it would prevent touch screen responding at all!!!
i downgraded to rc 30 and rooted the phone, now its working like a charm!! strange though.......

Screen problem. Help needed ugently.

Hey guys and girls,
Recently, my TP screen died. I was sleeping at the time so I am not sure exactly what happened.
The phone seems to function perfectly aside from the screen. Turns on, lights up, etc.
It did magically come on for a short amount of time. When it did, it was ghosting lines to the right if that makes sense. Not constantly though, it would flicker.
Now, does anyone know what this issue is? I've read a bunch of threads on here and haven't really found a definitive answer.
Help!
Cheers.
One more thing. The touchscreen function works fine, just not the screen.

[Q] HTC HD2 Screen Not Working

I don't know if this was ever fixed but I just bought the HD2 off a friend and i saw it work for him but when i received it, it boots up normally, but then when i try to touch the screen, nothing responds except for the actual buttons. It seems to be running fine, just the screen doesnt respond to anything. No warranty. Is there a fix?
It sounds like the digitizer may be busted... You could consider trying to replace it yourself but it's a tricky business, especially when some models of the Leo require soldering to get the new one on
You could also try a different ROM. To be honest though, I would ask for your money back, as it's not in the condition you wanted.
I am wondering if this truly is a digitizer issue. This happened to me the other day. I reflashed my nand rom, and it eventually "woke up" and started working fine after about an hour.
Very strange, indeed. I'm hoping it is a software issue and that my digitizer is not failing...
love to hear some more thoughts on this!
I also have this issue, but when I press the screen very hard (very very hard) or when I press the end call button continuously then it works all again.
Same thing here. I got my HD2 since last March. It works really well until recently. If I let it sleep, the screen would not respond at all when if I wake it up. Luckily, it still under warrantee so T-mobile will replace a new one for me.

Samsung Transform Unresponsive Touchscreen! Please help!

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!

I don't know what's happening to my screen! :(

Hello guys. I had a strange issue with my wife's phone today... and I wanted to know y'all opinion about it before spending money in a new screen.
First of all, we never did any bootloader-unlocking or rooting on it before.
She was returning home with the phone in her backpack (empty, so the phone was not hit or anything). And when she arrived she took the phone and it began to hang and get freeze. Then it restarted itself, and entered in a bootloop. It stayed that way for an hour until finally I got to turn it on. But the touchscreen didnt work anymore (the screen looks perfectly and it has NO scratch, I swear...)
So I tried a factory reset, but the touch still didn't work.
So, what do you guys think? Could be something like software/drivers problem? Did you know any similar issue ever?
I think its very weird, cause before it worked perfectly. And it matches too much with the almost-brick moment...
