Bottom of touch screen

Hello all. I have a Palm TX which I love and use frequently.  The lower portion of my screen however is just dead. I cannot get to menus, disconnect from the internet, etc, as that part of the screen just does not work when tapped on. Also, no matter how frequently I calibrate the pen to the touch screen it is always off a tad bit.  Any suggestions? Thank you!

If you went through the sticky thread and were not able to fix your digitizer (touch of palm) after trying all those things, the touch on your palm is probably off.
You can decide if you want to purchase a new digitizer - it is a new screen for your palm or if you want to just live with it and always tap a drop lower than the thing you are trying to click.
You can purchase a new digitizer from www.usedpdaparts.com and www.pdaparts.com.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • Does anyone know what to do if there is a black bar at the bottom of your ipod touch screen?  It is like the whole screen is shifted upwards and I cant access my top row apps.

    For some reason, there is a 1 inch thick black bar that appeared at the bottom of my screen.  It shifted my whole screen upwards and now I cant access my top row apps.  The ipod still works fine, but I cant figure out how to get it back to normal.  Any ideas?

    Try the sstandard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to fctory defaults/new IPod.
    If y still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

    Dear fellow Apple owners,
    Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

    Has anybody seen this before?
    I had it in 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4
    All of them have the same problem...
    Does anybody have a solution?

    Hey StevenKusters,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! First I would try backing up and erasing all content and settings, but if that doesn't resolve the issue you can use iTunes to restore your iOS device - part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.

  • Hp officejet pro 8500a - Touch screen problem (bottom right-left side)

    hi,
    I have a problem with my printer since i changed the black cartridge. At the screen, it display a message with OK at the right/left side but  when I touch the bottom right/left side of the printier touch screen, there is no reaction, can someone tell me what to do. Although, l can print from my computer but i can't make copies from the touch screen.
    Bonjour, 
    J'ai un problème avec mon imprimante depuis que j'ai changé la cartouche d'encre noire. Sur l'écran tactile, je recois un message comme quoi la cartouche a bien été installée et avec 'OK' dans le coin inférieur droit de l'écran. J'ai beau appuyer sur la zone, le message reste à l'écran. Toutefois, je peux imprimer. Cependant, j'aimerais pouvoir copier en couleur des documents pour en faire des copies directement à partir de l'écran tactile. Pouvez-vous m'aider?

    Hello DanTR,
    I see that you are having an issue with the touchscreen on the printer.
    When this issue happens it is typically a power related issue. Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I would also suggest that we run the HP Officejet Pro Firmware update.
    Please feel free to write back if you have any other questions or concerns.
    Cheers,

  • I dropped my phone and the very bottom of the touch screen does not respond. would i need to get the screen replaced or is there another way?

    I've dropped my phone quite often, and the back of the phone is cracked, but I haven't bothered to fix it. I dropped my phone again today, and a tiny bit chipped off near the top edge of my phone. Later when i got home, I couldn't unlock my phone except when I slid my finger across the very top of the arrow and it JUST opened. but I can't use the bottom now, so on the keyboard, I can't type with the space bar and anything else at the very bottom of the touch screen.

    At Apple Store for $149 you can get a replacement iPhone 4 which will be just like New. Everything will work perfect and the there will be no chips or cracks. New battery and buttons too. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple.

  • I cannot use the bottom part of my touch screen. It would not respond to any of the touches I make. Is the screen broken or have I stuffed up my settings? I want to be able to type on my iPhone

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have the problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple.

  • HT3302 The very bottom of the touch screen on my iPhone does not respond to touch. When the touch screen fails, is is expensive to replace?

    Recently, the bottom edge of the touch screen on my iPhone stopped responding to touch. I have gone through all of your hints and tips in the service information pages to see if there was a DIY solution. The little 'dots' which indicate water damage are white. I checked those in case someone else had caused water damage to my phone, as I do not live alone. The home button works fine, the non-functioning area of the screen prevents me from using all functions for which the screen will not revolve to the side when the phone is tipped.  Texting is a nightmare, as I have to keep turning the phone to access certain alphnumeric icons on the keyboard. Is this a common problem with the iPhone 4? Is is expensive to repair?

    Before you claim the hardware failed, try basic troubleshooting as described in the User's Guide of reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
    If none of these resolve the issue, Apple offers and Out of Warranty replacement for $149US.

  • Bottom Right of Touch Screen is Dead

    Hi. The bottom right side of my touch screen just suddenly stopped working. So, I cannot click OK to ackniwledge that a new printer cartridge is in and a hard reset doesn't clear the screen. So, it has lost functionality. My printer is out of warranty, but I see identical problems posted throughout this forum. Clearly, there is a manufacturing defect with the touch screen, so I am wondering if HP has recalled it. If not, can I replace the touch screen myself?

    I suggest you follow the instruction in one of the other threads where you posted this.  In the thread here Nick1906 suggests this is a hardware issue and you will need to contact HP support.  If you are outside the US you can find contact information here.

  • The horizontal line has been appiered at the bottom of the touch screen. In addition to that problem the screen starts blinking after 3-5 minutes of use. I bought it 4 months ago.

    Please help me to resolve a problem with my iPod touch. It has horizontal line at the bottom of the screen and screen starts blinking after 3 minutes of use. It's so frustrating as I bought just 4 months ago and didn't even think tha apple products have such defects.

    All electical producs have defects.  Apple products are not immune.
    To rule out a software problem try:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    - If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  If the iPod is defective you will walk out with a replacment.

  • IPod 4gen iOS 6 bottom touch screen bug

    So a few days ago I finally decided to make the switch to iOS 6 for my iPod Touch 4.
    Everything was fine until yesterday, the bottom of my screen was becoming unresponsive
    to my fingers. I have never had a problem with this and I take very good care of my
    electronics. Now i've looked over the internet for people who could be experiencing this
    problem, but nobody has had it. I hope it's not a hardware problem because I don't think
    I ready to throw down $300+ on an iPod Touch 5 for something I bought last year.
    So really I a just asking if anyone is having this problem, and maybe there is a way to
    recalibrate the screen. I have tried downgrading, but that as only available for the iOS 6
    beta. Thanks. This is my first post on this forum, so I'm not sure if I will get a responce.
    The red area is the area that I can't press.
    (image I found on google, edited.)

    Yeah man I have the same problem just started my phone will bring the drop down out when I touch the bottom of the screen it does things on its own and is really not cool and to boot it's not charging right all after ios 6

  • HELP: iPhone 6 Keyboard/Touch Screen Not Working

    Hello.
    I recently acquired to an iPhone 6, which has been working properly for the last two weeks. Today, my keyboard/touch screen stopped working properly. When I am typing in iMessage, or trying to compose an email, enter a URL, or anything else that requires my touch keyboard, my "123" button that switches to numbers, punctuation, and special characters does not open. I updated my software to iOS 8.3., which switched to a new and "improved" emoji keyboard, but I did this after my keyboard had already become unresponsive. If I click on the emjoi keyboard icon to switch over, the "ABC" button to swtich back to QWERTY is unresponsive. This is REALLY frustrating! The phone is two weeks old, and I cannot use to for a huge chunk of functionality.
    It's not a dead spot on the touch screen. When I am not trying to access the keyboard, that little bottom left corner works fine to open/use my Phone app.
    I really don't want to reset my phone. Any other ideas?
    I made a Genius Bar appointment for next Wednesday 4/15, but that seems like an eternity from now.
    Please help!

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the Touch Screen . If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • Omni 10 touch screen does not work / Tablet Omni 10 non funziona il touch screen

    After updates to Windows, the tablet does not recognize the touch screen.
    I tried all the recommendations of the forum but to no avail !! it is impossible that HP does not have a solution to the problem? I see that others have similar problems, so it is a manufacturing defect? Amazon also because I would replace the product with another Omni 10 but if this has the same problem, I take the money and make change. thanks
    Dopo gli aggiornamenti a Windows, il tablet non riconosce il touch screen.
    Ho provato tutti i consigli dei forum ma senza esito!! è impossibile che HP non abbia una soluzione al problema? Ho visto che altri hanno problemi simili, quindi è un difetto di fabbricazione? Anche perchè Amazon mi sostituirebbe il prodotto con un altro Omni 10 ma se anche questo ha lo stesso problema, prendo i soldi e cambio marca. Grazie

    Hey @MaxAlex72 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing issues with the touch screen on your Omni 10 tablet.
    I would suggest following these guides:
    Windows 8 System Restore Guide
    Troubleshooting Touch Screen Issues in Windows 8
    If neither of those options help it would be best to contact HP Phone Support for service options. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
