Bottom half of screen not working, need to turn airplane mode on

  3gs Bottom half of screen no longers works, or at least the bar at the bottom so cant unlock the phone .. i suspect that part of the screen doesnt work anymore, tried reset etc. i can play etc via voice control but i need to catch a 7hr flight later today .. any suggestions on how i could unlock, so i can get to the settings .. doesnt seem to be a voice control to unlock ... doesnt seem to be any control in itunes to amend setting .. must be something i can do!

Your digitizer is not functioning correctly. This is the only way I know to slide the unlock bar. The digitizer is built as part of the Glass Front Screen and detects your finger movement. Take iPhone to Apple and they can try to Reseat Flex Cable # 2 the digitizer cable if it is just loose at the connector and not broken. Possibly repair under Warranty if you still have Warranty Coverage. Otherwise you will need a new Front Screen with Digitizer for 3GS. Before opening a 3GS make sure it is OFF, and keep it OFF during any repair.

  • Top half or screen not working

    Recently the top half of my iPhone's screen quit working. The bottom half works fine, but everything on the top half won't work. I've tried resetting it but to no avail.
    Any ideas? Need help!

    The screen is mist likely defective. It's been happening to some. Just contact Apple and they should replace the phone for you.

  • Half of screen not working

    Opened the laptop today and the left side of the screen is as normal, there is a thick black line in the centre and the right side of the screen is white. No dots, no coloured lines, no damage has occurred. I am unable to shut down and restart laptop due to this. Bought the laptop from Argos at the end of April. Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

    Is it possibal to get a virus on the iPhone or touch from a opened email or transfured from a mac with that has not gotten a new leopard update in 'bout a mounth or so. I also have a problem with email that started few days before the screen stopped working saying that it cannot connect to Ian's Mac Mail because the username or password is incorrect when I go to verizon.com to check the name and password they work my father never has time to update his iphone so I have to do it for him and a lot of my content that is not on his laptop gets transfured and he has been having the same problem now for some time and my mac has showen that message box when I check my mail on my mac which is rarly. Or could it be that I am running out of RAM or just plain memery last I check today I had a little more then 1GB of space left. I also wonder that if it is repaired that the whole touch screen needs to be replaced and might be coastly and why would only half of it work most of the time I think that ether the connection between the touch sencers and the motherboard is unstable or that a softwere error has accored and needs to be ether restored from the settings in the phone or restored as new and not from a backup??
    Thanks

  • Status bar at the bottom of the screen stops working. need to fix it.

    When I upgrade Thunderbird there is a status bar at the bottom of the page that shows what account is being logged into and what the status is of the login process. (this is real time) What happens after a while is that the status no longer works and all I see is Unread: X and Total: X. I really would like the feature to work as it lets me know when I have connectivity issues. Either there is a bug in the software or some add on is messing thunderbird up. I have tried to disable all add ons and other features to no avail, so I think this is more of a bug. How to I fix the problem?

    The add on Adblocker Plus is known to cause this problem. Are you sure you do not have this add on active? After disabling the add on restart Thunderbird and then check the status bar operation.

  • 4s screen not working need help

    HELP!
         I dropped my phone on its back last night and now the screen does not turn on. there is no physical damage to the exterior. I can still text and recive calls, functions are all normal I just can not see what I am doing. Sound is fine as well I can switch from vibrate to loud I can adjust volume. My screen just stays dark. I think I might cave dissconnected the LCD cable or something. If that is the case I dont know where that cable is.
         If you think there is some other issue please let me know. If you can provide a picture or diagram of where that LCD cable is that would be great so I can go in and re-connect it. thanks

    You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

  • Screen not working, says I need passcode to back up to PC and screen frozen

  • Water damage to iphone screen not working

    I need to back up to icloud, but my touch screen not working.  Siri is working, i can text. Is there any other way to backup contacts to icloud without touch screen?

    UUsually when a phone gets wet you put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 to 7 days, but that doesn't guarantee that it will work.
    you can get an out of warrant iPhone at the Apple store.

  • 8500 All in One - touch screen not working

    One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond.  Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless.   With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded. 
    Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works.  Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error?  Thanks for any help ...

    Excellent.  Let me know how round 2 treats you.  The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now?  I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

  • Sony Vaio Pro 13.3 Touch: Touch screen not working

    Hi, The touch screen for my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Touch suddenly stopped working two days ago and I have no idea how to fix it. I didn't install anything new before it stopped working, and I tried to install all the new drivers on the VAIO update but it still didn't work. I thought it might be because of Windows so I updated to Windows 8.1 today and it still does not work. On the PC info it even says" Pen abd touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display". but this laptop is supposed to have touch capability and it has been working up until now. Please help! My model number is SVP13215CDB. Do I need to install or update my driver?

    Hi FlyingTortoise,
    Was there any changes prior to touch screen not working?  Like installing software or hardware?  If not, then try using windows system restore to restore back to a date that you know when it was working.  If that still does not resolve issue.  Then we may have to put the unit back to factory condition to eliminate software related before servicing the unit for hardware.

It is contarct with VirginThanks in advance

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I'm sorry to hear. If the touch does not work, it's not much that you can do on your own more than performing a software repair to exclude software related problems. This can be done via our program Update service:
    http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
    Download and install SUS, follow the instructions that appear.
    Note that the personal data will be lost when performing this repair and if you cannot access the menu, you are unable to back up this data.
    If the problem persist, I suggest that you contact your local support team to get information about how you should proceed in this case:

  • LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

    Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
    Anybody know of a way round this?

    Hi @dnhowes ,
    I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
    Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
    I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.
    If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for further assistance. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacemen​t

    After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
    But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways. 
    I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
    When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

    Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.
    You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU
