[Q] Deadspot on touchscreen - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i came to my phone today, go to send a text , and the screen is unresponsive where W and E would be on a keyboard.
Is this a Sofware problem, or a easyfix?

More than likely its the digitizer like whats wrong with my phone. The fix requires pretty much disassembly of thee phone.

Deadspot
So this is my problem... Is there a chance it is a software problem?

Not really.

Then do you think that if i replace the digitizer, the problem will be solved? Maybe it's a wire and not the digitizer that is the problem?

Replacing the digitizer almost always solves this kind of problem.

Tomorrow im gonna replace my digitizer. Lets hope i manage to do it without destroying anything. ill post back

when i replaced the digitizer the dead stripe just moved from the left of the screen to the right. I think im done trying to fix this phone. I might as well send it to our dear devs if they can make better use of it than me... still i dont know why but i want to fix my atrix so much... should i buy a 3rd digitizer?

I'm afraid it is a hardware problem, it happens to me a couple of days ago, the only solution is to change the motherboard.

Hi, that's just the biggest problem, because the imei number is in the motherboard they simply don't sell them, so I bought a second hand phone with a broken screen and made one phone out of two.

Plse use English, my Polish is really bad , It is possible to pass the bootscreen without calibration but I'm not sure you can find a rom who don't use it.

Can you tell me more about the rom you are using.
It might not bee the mothelboard. Had this problem for a few months until my screen just went black one day!
Had to change the screen cable. It's a design flaw, each time you open the phone the cable gets scratched and soon the wires get clipped. I bought a new niki100 flex cable on ebay and open the phone and replaced it and put a small extra tape over the cable to be sure it would happen again...
problem
there is some version of software without the preliminary calibration of the touch screen of some time I hit on so... perhaps somebody will give bearings... thanks
placing a file name welcome.not on sdcard should bypass the welcome thing
hi, i'm new her.
but i had this problem to.
i bought an touch screen on dealextreme.com
it works great!
sorry for my bad english.

bottom buttons not responding? fix?

hey guys, im trying to get a vibrant and found this guy who has a mint condition vibrant but the touch sensitive buttons dont work, the screen is perfectly working but the bottom buttons wont register the touch... some time they do but most of the time they dont... there is no water damage and he says that the phone has not been dropped so, wtf happened here? any software related thing going on here?
ill buy it if there is any way to fix it, maybe some of you have experienced this issue and have an answer?? thanks and please give me some advice
I've returned 2 vibrates because of the home button being haywire. From everything I've heard also, I'd advise you not to get the phone from this guy, its a hardware malfunction.

shyt man i have the same issue on mahh vibrant....ive tryy everythinq i cann and i couldnt get it working....
Someone it depends on the rom yiu install too. I had that problem when I bought mine from a guy at craigslist.. But when I installed axura or other rom, the home button worked flawlessly. I don't totaly agree that its "hardware issue" I think its on the software "roms"

[Q] HTC Hero touchscreen problem

Hi everyone,
A cousin of mine who works at an electronics shop, brought me for free a HTC Hero phone that was on the shop's vitrine, but it has a problem.
The problem is that the screen is not responding to my touch. It look like it has a simple screen, not a touch screen.
Is this a hardware problem or can I fix it?
Can anyone give me the files to flash it completely via ODIN.
The whole phone is OK. Only the screen is having problem.
I have managed to install a recovery image.
Thanks in advance.
Does anybody know?

+1 The green camera issue plagues alot of users and it's hardware all the way. You'd be bigger then, well, the big guy if you posted a fix for the camera..
Thanks for support.
I don't understand what the problem with the camera is. Do you have some details to give me ? or a video of the issue ?

Ok i see, but i can't fix that because i don't have the issue on my tab...
if you want i can make a short movie how you can disassembly the camera...
Hi, great video and great timing, my screen cracked yesterday after a "screen first landing from my bed". I already ordered a replacement one and your video gave me great hints on how to dismantle it, however I'm still wondering if anything else is needed to put it back together with the new one. Does the screen comes with some kind of glue on the sides? Any tape that I need to take in consideration? or it should just snap back in place?
Thanks for doing this tutorial and I would appreciate anyone who can help me with these questions.

The video says not available in my country. I am in germany. I would love a nice video on how to take this beast apart and try to fix the camera issue. I press on it and it seems to work but only if I press down hard so maybe something got dissconnected.
Or hell find a place that will fix it, I cant send it to ASUS because of the unlock thing and because I dropped it recentlly but no other damage was done to the tablet though
now just some scratches
Where are y'all finding replacement screens? I haven't had any luck finding just the screen

TRY ON EBAY I BOUGHT ALREADY AND WAITING FOR THE DIGITAL TOUCH SCREEN ALSO
search for "TF201 DIGITIZER" YOU WILL FIND A LOT
hope i help you
I'm aware that they have them on Ebay, dozens of them, but every one that I have seen bought has a screwed up X-axis.
When you install yours make sure to test it BEFORE you take it down.

I think he means to test it before you permanently mount it.
There doesn't seem to be any way to remove a cracked digitizer from the mouning bezel without destroying it. Even though your glass may currently be cracked, I'm sure it still works at least. If you remove (and destoy) your digitizer glass, you won't want to discover that your replacement has the left and right axis reversed.
Disconnect the ribbon cable for existing (cracked) digizer glass. Connect the new digitizer glass. Boot your prime. Make certain that the new glass is the right model and the left/right is correct.
Even easier than that. Compare the rev numbers of the replacment digizier and the existing one. If they are different revs, you'll be hosed.
