Guest Irvin_AVFC Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi all, Im having trouble with my blade....every so often when the phone is idle i.e when im in bed, the touchscreen stops working and i cannot unlock my phone to do anything!! the buttons work fine but the actual touch screen does not respond. I then have to take out the battery to turn it off! wipe cache/data, etc. backup to the stock ROM and install the custom ROM again for it to work!! Does anyone have a similar problem or know of any solutions? help is much appreciated!! P.S Im using Swedish Spring RLS5. Thanks Irvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotwire74 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 When it happens have you tried twisting the case slightly to see if starts working? My old Orange San Francisco had this problem where intermittently the touch screen wouldn't respond (I'd tried different ROMS and the issue kept coming back) but twisting the case got it working again everytime. I'd tried loosening the screws and retighting to rule out ribbon cable flex but in the end it drove me so mad I rang Orange and got them to replace it. If it was an early model I read it was down to solder problems where the ribbon connector was attached to the board and it caused the connector to move slightly and stop the touch screen working as a result.

Guest oker Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 If it's under warranty, have it replaced. If you can't, buy a replacement digitizer and replace it: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...reen-zte-blade/ It worked for me, I had a the same problem until it broke permanently. It's working fine with the new digitizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
