replaced digitizer but touch still not working

**nick303** · 03-20-2010, 01:56 PM

I changed my iphone 3g battery a while ago n once it was changed the touch screen didnt sense any touch anymore so I just replaced the digitizer hoping that that would fix it. So i have a new digitizer in it and the screen is still not sensing any touch does anyone know whats wrong with it

Have you reseated the connector?

**cpjr** · 03-20-2010, 06:03 PM

Either the connection....or the digitizer is still not working.

However, I have seen software glitch that will do that, so I would also try a restore WITH a freshly downloaded .ipsw file.

Hey did you ever get this fixed because mine is doin the same thing???

**nick303** · 03-22-2010, 10:04 PM

no i havent fix it yet. the connectors are all seated correctly and i tried a restore but still no fix. i think i messed up the camera cable pretty badly could that have anything to do with it?

Camera cable, I seriously doubt it. It wouldn't surprise me if the digitizer flex cable failed or was defective from the start. Unfortunately, many of the digitizers sold on eBay and other places are crap. It may cost a few bucks but buy from a reputable source. I would go for it and buy another new digitizer.

Oh, you might as well order a new camera while your at it

. You know, two birds with one stone and all that

be super careful with the little locking lever on the #3 connector, after a few assembly/disassembly cycles mine snapped, and that is not a food time!!

**nick303** · 03-23-2010, 02:01 PM

ya i might need to try another digitizer. for that cable number 3 that has the lock bar i think i also messed that up pretty bad to could that be it? and how would i fix that connector

**Effenpig!** · 03-23-2010, 03:20 PM

#3 controls earpiece and proximity sensor that shuts the screen off when you pit it to your ear. If you ruin that connector you will have to have it progessionally repaired. You can PM krazy on this forum.

Edit: professionally

I can also do it for you....if you need help. those aftermarket digi's are pretty easy to damage if care isnt taken.

**nick303** · 03-23-2010, 08:42 PM

yea ive pretty much given up on this one would i be able to send it to you to fix it?

Yeah PM me.

**nick303** · 03-30-2010, 09:30 AM

sorry didnt pm you but anyways i just noticed now that it seems like just the bottom half of the touchscreen isnt working

when i hold the sleep button to turn it off i can still slide the bar at the top. does anyone know why this is happening?

**plcrules** · 03-30-2010, 04:01 PM

post some pics might help

**nick303** · 03-30-2010, 06:49 PM

i dunno dont think a picture would really help but basically whats happening is, the bottom slider doesnt respond but the power off slider does respond

this things retarded

**cpjr** · 03-30-2010, 06:56 PM

The digitizer is broken, your gonna have to replace it again.

**Mars478** · 03-31-2010, 08:45 AM

Yeah, you killed it or it was killed.
Get an OEM one. They are so much better than the replacement ones.

**nick303** · 03-31-2010, 09:09 PM

where can i find a decent one thats not to pricey? i got the last one off ebay thats probably where i went wrong

**Effenpig!** · 03-31-2010, 09:47 PM

Ebays where it's at!!

I've had good luck with the seller tallpc and I've seen ubreakifix recommended on this forum.

**gsmsalers** · 04-02-2010, 08:30 PM

You can get from me. PM me.

**Mizun0h** · 04-06-2010, 11:45 PM

Hey I have the exact same problem. What did you end up doing??

Did another digitizer solve the problem?
