is the phone rooted and if so, is it a custom rom?
How much of it isn't working? And is it just unresponsive or is the display out as well?
I have a strip of my screen the doesn't work that's righty over where the top row of keys is.

So is it just a strip of the screen?
If you really really wanna be able to get it unlocked, Download the correct version of clockwork mod for our phone one that's not touch, has to use the volume rockers and fresh install the rom, Or as a matter of fact, Just boot into whatever recovery you have and clear data/factoryreset, that'll get rid of your lock pin
Hello from me too!
I have a strip on my touch screen that doesn't work. It's right where the Search button and Install on Play Store is and Clear on the Phone notifications, too.
It had the stock rom, I have replaced the screen with the digitizer when it fell down. It worked after that. I had to unscrew the phone one more time because my LCD was touching the screen and the phone had gone mad. After that, and a couple of days later, I noticed that the strip didn't work anymore. Today I finally flashed a new rom (King Cobra 3d) and nothing's changed so I figured it might be a hardware problem...
What's your opinion?
Thank you!

Its the hardware. and your carrier should change it at no cost. (Sprint)

ive had the top bar just under my notification bar non working for a few months now, and its starting to pi$$ me off
I've replaced my digitizer twice myself. I got a cheaper one the first time, and figure that's what I get for trying to go on the cheap. (I was out of warranty). Sorry to say it but it could be that again.

I think I don't have a warranty because I've changed it myself. It's my fault...
I think I'll buy a new one... I unscrewed it a while ago so I could see if sth had been misplaced or if the digitizer had scratches or sth like that.
I saw that the ribbon's top had been ripped off right where it bends on top of the LCD... Don't know if that's the problem...
p.s. I live in Greece. My carrier is Cosmote. We don't have Sprint here...
Yep, if the ribbon cable is ripped, that would be your problem. Don't go too cheap on your replacement. Good luck!

If i buy a new one from Amazon will it be allright? It costs around 10 pounds... The other one that i've changed and now it has a problem i've bought it for 60 euros from a local store here in Greece...

The last one I got from Amazon is the one I'm using now (about a month old), and spent $20 US on it, which was NOT the cheapest of them. Not knowing the exchange rate right off hand, would venture to say the one you're speaking of is not a "cheap" one. So go for it. Just take your time replacing it and be careful with ALL the ribbon cables. Good luck!

Hey guys, I just got my touch pro last week and now the keyboard wont work. No drops or water damage. It wont light up or anything. I dont want to have to go back to the sprint store, so if u guys have any suggestions that would be awesome. Thanks.
Sorry
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I had the same thing happen to me. I spent probably a combined total of 8 hours on the phone with different people before I got any kind of solution. I couldn't find anything online. I was out of the initial Sprint Warranty. So Sprint said, sorry, you're gonna have to pay for a whole new device. That wouldn't work, the device was just 3 months old. So I called HTC, and at first they said there was nothing they could do either, until I talked to one person who forwarded me to PCD. They were able to fix it, for free under warranty, they replaced some RFID tag (IDK what that meant, it was in this checklist of tests they sent back) and sent the phone back. All I had to pay was shipping to their Repairs center. The bad thing was, it took them 3 weeks to work on it (only 4 days were shipping there and back). I hope I have been helpful, and I am sorry about the bad news. I know the feeling.
Hey, i had the same problem but i went to sprint and change my device, the new one works perfect, my advice go back and change it.

Not much but maybe
Had one that same thing happened. Performed hard reset and corrected it maybe temp fix though but it worked so far about a week of good use so far.
I had the same thing on my Verizon Pro, what I found was (I took mine apart) was that the cable had came loose from it's connector, I just had to reseat it and works perfect. By the way I bought it that way (got a great deal because it didn't work).

I have the same keyboard problem...it doesn't work most of the time, but once in a blue moon it will....the keyboard lights come on, but no input from keys work....so is that still a connector issue you think? Did you keyboard backlight come on?

I am not sure if my keys lite up or not, it has been a while, but it sounds to me like a possible connection issue with it being intermittent.
happened to me twice hopefully tp2 fixes this little issue.
same problem!!! just go to sprint, they can fix the problem... "they changed my keyboard"!!!
yah me too, i took my touch pro back to Sprint and they changed the whole touch screen part of the phone for me in 45 mins and for some reason that fixed the keyboard as well, so i guess the problem is in the touch-screen part of the phone, not the keyboard itself
Try this. Take out the battery and pinch extremely hard on the space button to re-seat the keyboard cable.
I'm not completely sure if it will work as I got my phone replaced before I found this fix.
Try it and let me know if it helped any.

go to your phone carrier.
demand a NIB replacement. (new in box)
it states in the manufacturing warranty that you get a NIB replacement for the keyboard. it's a known problem, tell them to call the tech department or htc tech support and they will tell the rep the same thing.
Don't leave without a NEW replacement.
Don't take a refurb(mailed out) replacement.

hahahahahha.
I call BS on that one. lol.
I did it... removed bat', piched key b'. it now works... eeeeeeeeyesss
Got a 0 hour touch pro less than 2months, keyboard started lagging since 2 weeks ago, then extra spaces and duplicate letters and finally died after a charging session in a hot weather day.
Removed battery and press spacebar top and bottom very hard to resit the keyboard connector fixed the issue.
Same happened to me on my Alltel CDMA Touch Pro after having owned it for about 4 weeks. It would also not shut off the screen backlight. Was very odd. Luckily, my Alltel store is literally across the alley from my house, so I ran a full backup using Sprite Backup, walked over there, and they swapped it out for a new phone within 10 minutes. Took me another 45 minutes to restore the backup, but wasn't nearly as bad as sending it away for several weeks to be repaired.
A day or so after upgrading to Jokersax's 0.5.0 build for the Atrix with the Aroma installer, I've discovered that some of the letters on on the keyboard stopped working. Using Touch Test, I've confirmed that there is a roughly 1 inch vertical stripe of my touch pad that just does not register inputs.
Downgrading to previous builds or restoring previous backups of the ROM do not fix the issue.
Is there a chance that the touchpad calibration utility for Aroma caused a miscalibration of the touchpad? Or is this likely physical damage of some sort? I've already tried rerunning through the Aroma installer and recalibrating the touchpad to no good effect.
Any other suggestions from folks?

Update: Solved by replacing the screen/digitizer
mines is doing the same exact thing. from what i have read on there your digitizer is going out. I ordered another one and it should be here today, once I install it, I will let you know if it continues to do this or not.
The digitizer is a common issue with the Atrix. Motorola went cheap on the Atrix.
Funny. I also started experiencing this last week.
How much did your digitizer cost? ( @ Quinto)
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I just installed JokerSax 0.5.0 2 days ago as well, and today I have noticed a strip up the entire touch screen that is not responding to input. I too used Touch Test to confirm that there is a strip from the back key, all the way up to between 'OROL' in the word Motorola at the top of the phone.
This affects keys B H and Y when in portrait, and the entire qwerty row when in landscape with the usb port to the top.
I dont recall this happening before running Jokersax CM9 but it very well could have been..

got for $33 off of eBay. Here is the link:

It came yesterday and I am going to attempt to put it on tonight.
Thanks, and good luck. Keep us posted.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Somebody gave me a stock atrix with a similar condition, it was about 1/2 inch at the top and another 1/2 inch near the bottom (in portrait) mode.....so it's not the rom that you installed.
I too ordered a new digitizer off ebay....except mine cost $43 :-( i should have looked for a little longer...ohh well
I don't think it's necessarily a hardware issue :
The fact that it happened just after installing a new ROM is very disturbing
I have the same problem, and sometimes, with a new ROM, the problem disappears for a couple of hours, then my screen goes totally crazy, then the unresponsive strip reappears
Some people have this problem and a new digitizer didn't solve it
Is there any way that CM9-based ROMs overwrites some touchpad driver ? Does someone else could testify that it could be something else that the digitizer ?
Interesting idea. For the record though, I'm running pure CM7 RC 2. I have heard that the reason one might lose and then regain touch response is due to a hardwear connection/reconnection issue.
When this problem first began to occur, I would briefly retain touch response in the dead strip after rebooting. To test if this was a software or hardwear issue, I physically twisted my phone a few times and regained touch response temporarily, suggesting a hardwear response.
Just my two cents.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Anyone have luck with the replaced digitizer yet? I'm hoping to avoid ordering if that doesn't resolve the issue.
Ok, I broke down and bought the digitizer from ebay via the link that quinto0827 provided. I just installed it, and things are working great.

I think the same thing.
I had the same problem with my Huawei Ideos U8150 after flashing Dronix 0.5 Rom.
In CWM I can see that the digitizer every 2 seconds it loose my fingers.
same has happened to me on my atrix. one perfectly straight line down the screen which doesnt react to touch. This line is moveable within the aroma installer calibration tool, which btw is what created the problem for me in the first place, after i decided to try the alternate touch option.. So yup, i agree too. I KNOW it was aroma installer that messed my atrix up.. SIGH...And i had just gotten it running top notch too..grrr .. btw that new touch file manager installed through cwm will also move this ghost line around, which could perhaps help some users navigate a little better on their touchscreen.. This is another point that suggests its not a hardware issue. Only other, worse thing i can think of is that the aroma touch installer played with the voltages feeding the screen, and did maybe blow something physically.....
Hey look at this... Just happened today and im so sad... Sometimes this solution in the link seems to work so it should be a hardware issue... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27595402&postcount=1

Suddenly Capacitive buttons are not working as light are working. In past it never dropped and I Nevar sit on it. I don't know why it happened. Now i am using LMT launcher from which I am not satisfied and thinking about repairing it. In my city there are no HTC service center but there is a collection point(I don't know what it is??? ) . I searched about this on Internet and found that it may be problem of Digitizer. So, My questions are:
1. By replacing LCD+Digitizer would solve this problem? If yes, then which variant should I buy SHARP or SONY version? As mine is Telus version.
2. Should I go to Collection Point in my city ?
3. Or should I take risk of doing dis-assembly of it ?
4. Or Should I buy a LCD+Digitizer from internet and do replacement by local mobile repairs?
PS: I bought it 2 months ago from ebay and it doesn't have manufacturer warranty. And sorry for my bad english

Friend getting it replaced wont be the wisest decision, I would suggest you to try some other ROMs like ASOP CM10.2 version and see if the problem persists, since the lights are working. Hope if that dosent work replacing the LDC will take some thing around Rs 8000 Indian. I don't know about the make of the Sceen, but I guess going to the collection point might just help, else if you can get it to Bhopal or some thing.
Don't risk dis-assemble it, if you are not sure what you are doing .
Well getting the LCD+Digitizer from ebay I just don't know since it hard to find the OEM version ...
Good news !!!

Its awesome that lg has created that kind of feature so they are thinking also about its customers. I still wonder where the sensor would be located
I saw this feature when I got my first G2. At that point there were no cases because it was so new. Of course I dropped it on the way to work and cracked the screen. Unfortunately I couldn't ever get the hardware to work because it killed all areas.

You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

This is crazy... it's probably something simple to some of the guys on here?. Oh well I'll just see if the seller will accept that it's faulty and send me another one. How did you get sorted or didn't you?

Unluckily, I got this phone from my friend and it broke after a few time, so I can't send it back to my friend and have to find a solution.
Some say that an harware issues. But I cant get it. The second screen works perfectly with the main screen, but lights out. @@

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
