Problem with touch screen

[Guest Bluearmy73]

The screen on my SF has stopped responding. It did the same thing last night but I just rebooted and it solved. This time it wont fix. Is there any way I could have locked it without realising?

What options do I have getting it repaired? Can I take to orange shop or do I have to return it via post as I bought it online?

have you installed a custom rom??

can you reach clockwork recovery?

Hi,

there has been quite a discussion about this topic lately. You can find some information concerning your problem in

Froyo lockscreen freeze topic and also at the last few pages of Pauls Froyo Alpha3/4 thread.

However, if you are still on the stock ROM, then I would advise to exchange your SF at Orange. I believe that the way it works is to contact them and they'll have a courier sent to your house with the replacement.

try putting a new rom on it :)

I looked at the video and that "fix" doesnt work for me.

As for putting a new rom on it, why would this fix the screen? I did a reset via clockwork but no good.

Thanks for the help though guys

Ok, back from hols, just to get up to date with this. I put the orange rom back on this morning and the screen still does not respond.

I now assume the screen is at fault? Anything else I need to do before returning the phone to orange? Can clockwork mod be removed? Does it need to be removed?

I have the same issue. Contact between the touchscreen and the device keeps breaking.

I keep "quick fixing" it by removing the battery cover and twisting the phone from both ends to make it have contact.
