Touch Screen not working

Hi all, I have woken up today to find that my touch screen no longer works!
Im guessing that i'll need to send it back to repair so my question is this, where can I find stock SPL and stock ROM?
Just woke up and it suddenly doesn't work? Sounds very strange to me... Were you drunk yesterday? (just kidding )
I'd try a hard reset first, have your touchscreen been acting strange lately?
it did have the newton ring in the center, had it about a week, but no effects on the screen; now seams to have spread right across the screen , after a little testing have found that small parts of the screen works.
I am going to see if i can replace the touch screen myself, found this on ebay, already have the tools, wish me luck.

Better then sending off to HTC and them saying that its user abuse and waiting 3-4 weeks.

Can you please let us know if this fixes the "newton ring" fault aswell. I thought it was the lcd screen and not the digitizer that would need replacing to fix this. since you've bought this now it would be good to know.
Thanks

Any luck so far? how's the touch screen replacement? easy? hard? any alternative way to change without disassembly so many parts??
Hi,
after opening the phone have found out that i need a new LCD as well, have one on order but it is coming from Hong Kong so waiting on delivery, there is a combo on ebay that sells both the digitizer and lcd, so, if all goes well then i will post links and results.
Am currently using an old nokia until my diamond is fixed am missing all the functionallity that I have with the diamond.

[Q] Yep, I broke my screen! First one?

Hi there.
Brand new i9000.. first smartphone in my life.. and also the first one I broke in my life. Pretty ****ing annoying.
Everything still works, even typing, just the screen is smashed into a 1000 pieces. Dropped it out of my pocket on a concrete floor when I took my pants of. Lesson: Never take your pants off!
This is how it looks:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Found this (Dutch, but that's where I am from) webshop, selling a new screen:
/edit: ****, I am not allowed to post URL's!
It's called: "Samsung i9000 Galaxy S Display module compleet incl. touchscreen" Looks like this:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Is it the right screen? And if yes, can I install it myself? The thing is, just the outside is broken.. do I need this set? And where can I find a manual?
Thanks!

Any replica screens that do not come from samsung, will not be super AMOLED.. As this is one of the biggest things with the SGS I'd pay the extra and get it done at a reputed samsung repair centre!! Dunno where in holland you are but they have plenty of repair centres, had to visit one in Harleem myself the other day.... ANY Repairs carried out by you will void the warranty... Also is there no way you could just add accidental damage to your cover!!!... wait a couple of days then make a claim!!
I can't claim it anywhere.
So, I wanne put a Super AMOLED screen in myself. Anybody any idea where I can get a screen from? I can't post links here, pretty annoying.
Guy on Ebay sells them:
"yes, it is genuine LCD + touch screen with 4 inch Super AMOLED screen for samsung i9000"

Contact him ask him what the part number is!! call samsung and check it with them! It could be all good, most of the times is!... but there are alot of con-artists on ebay so for the matter of a phone call to check the authenticity.... I'd say it's worth it! also check with samsung if they sell the spares themselves or they will give you the name of an authorized stockist of their spares!! Worth checking out their prices!
Good luck!
Hi iam from india even my brand new i9000diplay was smashed i replcaed it from samsung sevice they charged me rs 8500 ie 180$

[Q] [Help] Screen crack. Touch Not working

Hi Guys,
My XZR fell down and it has got a huge crack from top right till bottom left. Touch isn't working.
Went to the service center. They said that screen isn't replaceable. They used to provide a new handset at half price,but as the production is stopped they can't do that now. But, they will provide a discount on any other model I select which is currently in production.
Can I buy the screen and do a DIY? or should I go for a different model?
By the way, I am from India.
Thanks

From second link you can calculate estimated shipping price and delivery time and cost in Indian Rupee. You can give it to any local known mobile repairer to replace the screen and pay him his charges for replacing if you are not confident to do it
You can replace the screen but you'll lose the waterproof "feature" of your phone.
I cracked my Xperia Z and price to repair was about 60% of purchasing price. :silly:
So bought a Xperia ZR instead.:victory:

Is there any way to retain the waterproof feature?
I guess as per the bold description the lcd is glued. Can we do that?

Thibk so, but waterproof feature must be the reason why it's so expensive.
If a repair center says the repaired phone is waterproof again and it's not ....

[Q] replace broken screen

Hi, I broke my screen on P7 and I want to replace it by myself. Do you have any experiences with this process?
Thanks for advises
Can someone just give me a good link for a complete screen, lcd, touch, and glass(free shiping is desirable). Thanks in advance.
Dude.... its a PITA.
The back is "stuck in place"with glue that you need to remove, and then replace. The whole unit then needs to be taken apart. I tried it once, and being used to screen replacements myself, was surprised to fail miserably.
Its not that expensive from a Huawei center, and if its under warrenty, the labour is even free!

I found nice videoturorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD24da5bqbc
And I replaced my screen successfully!

I have to agree with Juggles.
There's no point doing it yourself, unless you are experienced mobile phone technician. If your phone was bought new then just send it for repair as it is under warranty.
Cheers

And I have to disagree... I just successfully replaced my broken screen few days ago. It's not that hard.
Is it possible to change the front glass without the digitizer?
After all thats just a couple of bucks compared to the "real-thing", but I gess its not the best option as there isn't a "How to change only frontglass out there"...
