I have had my tablet for quite a while now. I put a skinpea brand screen protector (wet application) on it years ago and had a spare that's been sitting around. My original protector has some BAD yellowing going on so I finally decided to remove it and replace it. I powered down, removed the old one. I noticed some significant static when removing it. I replaced it with a new one, worked out all the bubbles and accidently turned it on while doing so. When I was done removing bubbles I turned the screen back on and tried to use the tablet but now I'm getting....random response from the touchscreen. It managed to accidently bring up google search which brought up a keyboard with swype. I'm getting "ghost" touches all over the screen all the time from the looks of things. Not just touches...small swipes. Did I kill my touchscreen controller? Is there anything I can do or am I SOL? Has anyone seen something like this before? Screen static/removing a screen protector = effed up touch?

After a month of use, my phone's screen got scratch just for putting it in and taking it out of my pocket. I spent the last 2 or 3 hours searching on google and found a whole lot of unverified home methods to repair it. I was wondering if there is any method that the users here tried.
The scratch is visible and it blurs and darkens anything displayed under it. The touch screen works fine, though
It would be fine if you tell your device
I think it's a touch screen and touch screen devices cannot be repaired from scratches.. it only damages the screen or has no effect
/edit:
or it looks worse than before
I used car polish and got most of it out, at least it doesn't blur stuff underneath it anymore
omg and your screen isn't blind yet?
what phone do you use?
haha. I've got a Sony Ericsson X8. I first tried toothpaste, but it didn't do anything. So I guessed that it had to be something more abrasive and the polish did it.
So I've got a relatively cheap used sensation off ebay. It was announced defective and it was stated that part of the screen is dead. So I thought there were some dead pixels which didn't seem much of an issue for me. However, there are no dead pixels, the screen looks fine. However, it is very unresponsive. I have trouble pulling the ring to unlock the screen, selecting icons, typing, ect. There is also one part of the screen (one whole row) where the screen is completely unresponsive (doesn't react at all when touched).
Tried the SGS screen booster, tried cleaning the metal contacts on the battery side of the phone... nothing worked. The phone still has it's warranty seal, so it doesn't seem to have been opened..
Any suggestions other rhan faulty digitizer?
Thanks for your help
Sounds exactly like a faulty digitiser, which is costly to repair unfortunately, although it it surprisingly hard to break them, recently smashed the glass on mine, and the touch still worked perfectly!
I just asked the seller what made the touchscreen to stop responding. He said the phone fell off, hit the ground and afterwards the display wasn't working properly. Maybe there is some other way to fix this? The digitizer itself is not broken.. maybe there is something that got displaced.. or maybe there is a faulty connection somewhere on the pcb... do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
just noticed that if I squeeze the phone top to bottom (i.e. grab it with the thumb onto the unlocking latch for the back cover and the middle finger on top of the phone, just above the speaker) it opens 'messages'.. So maybe there is some bad connection on the pcb? Or should this definitely point to a faulty digitizer?
Put my tablet down for a while, and when I came back to it today, there are some serious ghost touches happening. It's especially bad when I touch the back, left side (if holding tablet landscape) I've rebooted and it hasn't helped.
I have a Zagg screen protector on it, which I've never had an issue with beforehand.
Any ideas?
I think it's JUST outside of warranty (not that I've filled the card out...)

I started having ghost touches a while ago, and still occasionally do. I had a screen protector on to start with, absolutely fine. Then after a while they started. Removed the screen protector and no problems again for a while. Now I get them very occasionally, and slight non-responsiveness the the upper right (landscape) quarter or the screen. Normally only after I've been using it for quite a while. Leave it a while and reboot helps.
I'd say try removing the protector.
So, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner: pretty sure its my keyboard that causes the issues. Took the tablet out of the dock so I could hold it differently, and all issues stopped.
This sucks.

Hi all
My moto Maxx has gone through a lot, but the strangest problem yet started yesterday.
As you can see on the attached video, half of the screen is constantly scrolling. This happens in fastboot and recovery mode as well, so I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem.
The digitizer still works perfectly, and registers touch where the icon or button should be positioned on the screen. The moving screen also does show everything correctly, just in this crazy scrolling way.
I'm not very hopeful in fixing it, but was wondering if anyone has ever seen this, and if you guys think this is a broken display(and any way to test this?) or a broken GPU. If it is in fact the display, I might consider replacing it.
Some background on all the terrible things I did to this phone:
- Dropped it and cracked screen in September.
- Replaced the glass myself, slightly burned display when removing glass without any consequences (just a tiny mark on the top right, the side that actually still works).
- Dropped again, broke glass again, never bothered to fix it, some small pieces are missing so dust, sweat,.. could've gotten int.
Video:
Most likely the display being broken.
Even when my tempered glass protector is missing chunks the screen starts to funk up. Only worse being the real screen especially the digitizer.
You might be right pjd, or at least screen related.
I opened it up yesterday evening, and I think it might be the cable connecting the screen. Depending on how I positioned the screen and thus the angle at which the cable was bent, it was fixed, the same, or just completely black.
The only thing I have to try to find out now is if it's the kabel, or the connector on the motherboard. Any suggestions on how I could test that are welcome!
I have a Blu Studio Energy (D810U, I believe). I went to a lot of trouble getting a ROM that had the fewest bugs, but once I did, it worked well until I lent it to a "friend" who promptly smashed the screen. Not just the digitizer but the LCD as well.
I ordered a screen replacement and swapped out the screen. I've done this before, so no sweat - at least until I turned on the phone and found that while it was reading touch input and the backlight was on, there was no picture on the screen. It responded by vibrating when I pressed the capacitative keys on the bottom, and when I pulled the screen slightly out with a suction cup the edges of the LCD were lit up. I removed the assembly, replaced it repeatedly, and finally bought a new screen assembly and put that in. Every time, I had the exact same results.
Does anybody have any idea what's going on here?
