Thread: No response to any touches - bad digitizer?

[Your turn SF]. Ehhhh Stewie ..... He took it apart and reseated the cables [first post].

@Ukrop1
Some digitizers are soldered into the LCD's ribbon and there is a common flat connector, they are an absolute bit*h to repair. Others have a separate connection to the mainboard and are relatively easy to replace. I recall that 6x0, 7x0 and some 2xx share the same screen configuration and the digitizer is separate and easily replaced. They are very cheap, from US$2 to $3 upward posted from China or Honkers. Just be sure to use a hotair gun or hairdryer to loosen the sticky brown tape before removing the old one from the LCD screen. Have a look on ebay.

That's nothing to do with MSM, it's a standard screen for 7x0 after the 'copyright' screen message and it's referring to a feature of the particular SiRF GPS receiver that's fitted.

lol You are sharp, Mate! But then again... it's your morning and you've (presumably) had a good night's rest. It's my evening and I had a challenging day at work!
Nahhh, that's just a lame excuse! I admit: I posted too quick.
