Dropped touch screen

If the iPhone 3GS gets dropped and its touch screen cracked, will it be covered by Apple's one year warranty or Apple Care protection plan for iPhone? Or neither?

You my friend are eligible for out of warranty service...

"For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications."

  • Touch screen not working on iPod Touch (after I dropped it in a fish tank)?

    Hello,
    I dropped my brand new iPod Touch into my fish tank while it was on. It stayed on for a few seconds but shut down before I was able to get it out. Besides the obvious water damage, it also suffered three cracks across the screen.
    I immediately dried it with towels and stood it up to let the water drain out. When no more water was dripping out of the charging port on its own, I took to blowing into both the charging port and the earphone jack myself until there were no more water droplets coming out. When that was finished, I buried my iPod in a bowl of rice for 4 days.
    Today I took my iPod out, and tried to turn it on. Nothing happened, so I plugged it into my charging dock. The white Apple icon appeared, as if it were about to turn on, but went black after about 30 seconds. This repeated itself many times until finally, to  my surprise, the lock screen came on! I was so excited that it finally started working, and swiped my finger across the "Slide to Unlock" bar. Nothing happened... puzzled, I tried again. It will not let me type in my code or anything, the touch screen is not responding.
    Any ideas?
    I at least want to get it to sync with my computer so that I can get my data on there before having to replace my iPod, I do not want to lose everything (for the second time).
    Thank you so much in advance for any tips or advice that you can offer at this time.

    First read this representative suggestion on saving your soaked Touch:
    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_fix_an_iPod_that_fell_in_water
    If you used your Touch like most users, you sync the tunes via iTunes. That means all the audio and video is saved to your hard disk - which is great news. Your documents are preserved. On the other hand, if you don't use iTunes, I'm not sure I can help.
    Do you sync your Touch?

  • Can't load my ipod nano from itunes on a mac; that is, I can't drag and drop an mp3 file (of a speech) from iTunes to my iPod--though the iPod shows up on iTunes. My nano is the brand new touch screen.

    I received the new iPod Nano with the touch screen for Christmas. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I have iTunes 10 on my system. I cannot drag and drop MP3 files from iTunes to my iPod--though it appears that iTunes recognizes my iPod--it shows up on the Devices menu on the left side of iTunes. My wife--a long-time Mac user--kidded me that I didn't know what I was doing, Then she tried to load my iPod and failed as well. Any suggestions?

    Is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

  • 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.

  • My touch screen goes crazy when rain drops fall on it

    When I operate my phone in rain my touchscreen responds to the rain drops. My touchscreen responds crazy when raindrops fall on it.

    There are other threads concerning this, for example:

  • I dropped my iPhone 5 into my glass of water last night. (fully submerged)and i left it in a bag of rice overnight.I turned it on at 3:00 afternoon and thebuttons and soundis working as far as I know,but the touch screen isnt what do I do?? please help

    I dropped my iphone 5 into a glass of water last night. Fully submerged. I put it in a bag of rice overnight and took it out and turned it on at about 3:00 this afternoon just to check on it. The buttons and sound were working, as far as I know, but the touch screen would not work at all... WHAT DO I DO??

    Turn it off and put it back in the rice for 2-3 days. Do NOT turn it on or attempt to charge it. Turning it on when it was not fully dry may have already done additional damage.
    Even if you had let it dry completely before turning it on, there is no guaranty that the outcome would have been any different, though.

  • After dropping my IPod touch gen 5 down the stairs accidentally the touch screen became unresponsive. please help me fix it without costing too much.

    I want an inexpensive way to fix my iPod as I cannot afford another one. please help me..

    If you are good with electronics, as in taking things apart and putting them back together, I would buy a used touch screen off of eBay or a trustworthy site, then take the front off of the iTouch, replace the screen and put the front back on. If you are not good with electronics, I would either take it to a repair shop or send me an email with video/ image of the damage at [email protected]

  • Dropped my phone and now I see almost-transparent lines on my lock screen and the touch screen doesn't work. Help?

    I was walking to my garage when my iPhone slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. I looked at it and saw strange almost-transparent lines on my lock screen. I tried to unlock my phone, but it wouldn’t let me do anything. It was almost as the touch screen wasn’t working. I turned it off and plugged in my phone to the charger and it started up automatically, but it still looked the same and wouldn’t work. I think that my iPhone 5 might be broken? Please help!

    Make an appointment at an Apple store and have then assess it

  • I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and the whole touch screen is not working.

    I have a 32gb ipod which I bought for fifty dollars and when i bought it had a pretty baddly cracked screen but thing is it worked fine. Every part of the screen worked fine; it was as senstive where the screen was cracked as the areas of the screen that were not cracked. I dropped it a couple times from like two or three feet on two a hard wood floor about four times all it did was make the cracks on the screen a little worse. Then one day I dropped it from about a foot and now the whole touch screen is not working does anyone know why this is. They told me at the ipod store to get a new one would be 130 to trade mine in. But the thing is I very mechanically inclined and I am very good with electrionics; I was planing on buying the glass for fifty bucks and putting it on myself because I read how to do it and I am more then capapble of doing it. But now since the touch screen is now working; do I need a new screen along with a new glass? See the thing is because I think both those part cost 120 together. Which would not be worth me doing that when I can go to the ipod store and they would trade me a new one for 130 bucks. But the issue is, they told me at the ipod store they would have to look and see how damaged the ipod is to see if they will exchange it. My screen is severly cracked; also I have a dent that is a half inch long and 1/8th inch deep in the back of my ipod and its very scracthed up; do you thing an ipod store would exchange it in the condition it is in. Also has anybody had this problem before and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take it apart and fix it my self without buying any new parts.

    If I were you, I would pay the $130 for a replacement. Then you can be sure that it has all the working parts it needs.

  • Touch Screen Not Working!

    So I am a little lost as to what to do now, earlier today my Toshiba encore was working fine, had it about 2 months and never had any issues nor have I mistreated it / dropped it or pressed too hard on the screen / spilt anything on it... taken real good care of it. It was working literally a couple of hours ago (spent the last few hours trying to troubleshoot it)... and well when it was working I stopped using the touch screen for a while to plug it into a hdmi monitor and was using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to watch youtube in my living room... soon as I had finished doing that I unplugged it and placed it softly on my bed, a few minutes later I went to use it and it was unresponsive I thought not much of it and restarted my pc, still didn't work... so I tried looking in device manager and disconnecting the mouse and keyboard etc.... the touch screen shows up in device manager under HID device, and shows as installed and "working correctly". Here is the catch it doesn't work in the EUFI BIOS ... I tried to reinstall the driver and no luck...Ive completely refreshed my pc now using the recovery options system restore was not available and it still doesn't work, I had to use an OTG cable to connect a mouse to Finnish the setup. can anyone help me diagnose this? tomorrow I am considering returning it if I can. If not I guess if its something physical I will have to see if there is luck and I can pay out for a replacement digitizer .

    Okay after many hours of frustration and worry, I have solved this issue. The touch screen was some how being disabled because of my Logitech G500s plugged into my OTG cable. The solution was I booted into UEFI BIOS without the mouse plugged in and then plugged it in (I was doing this because I had no touch screen and was trying to use a mouse on the bios and thought about using a usb mouse and it worked, then I accidentally touched the screen and noticed that the mouse cursor disappeared as I did this, then I clicked save and close on the BIOS and it come up with the confirmation and this confirmed the touch screen to be working again. I then booted back into windows WITHOUT the mouse plugged in to be sure, and it worked! I tested this once more and it again disabled touch, and the same fix, fixed it, no idea how this is disabling the touch screen even to the point it doesn't work in the BIOS... but it does, and at least this fix works XD. So maybe if somebody else gets the same issue then here is the solution (for me at least).

  • Windows 8 upgrade problems (touch screen and audio)

    my　computer is HP touchsmart 600 1005xt and recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 (64-bit)
    after up grading I noticed that the touch screen does not work and and the speakers also did not work

    HI,
    Here are a few tips that might help you to get your touch screen working:
    Activate Windows and install updates by pressing the Windows logo key + W. Type "Activate Windows" into the search field, and then click on the Activate Windows icon that appears in the upper left corner of the screen. In PC Settings, click on Activate Windows, wait for your computer to connect to Microsoft, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Restart the computer. Press the Windows logo key + X, and select Control Panel from the menu. In the upper right corner of Control Panel, select Large Icons from the View by drop down. Click Windows Update. Install touch and/or graphics driver updates. Restart the computer.
    Another thing to try: Go to the HP Support and Drivers site and click Drivers and Software.  In the search field, enter your product name or number, and then click Next. Select your operating system from the drop-down, and then click next. (If you don't know if your operating system is 32- or 64-bit, press the Windows logo + X key again and select System from the menu.) Follow the onscreen directions to install any appropriate drivers. Restart the computer.
    If the touch still doesn't work, try this: Press press the Windows logo + X key, and select Device Manager from the menu. In Device Manager, click the little triangle next to Display Adapters to expand the list. Right-click on the graphics card and select Disable. When asked if you want to disable the card, click yes. Restart the computer. You may have to tinker with your screen resolution.

  • 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

  • Directory structure support and sluggish touch screen

    I bought a Zen X Fi2. My expectations were high since I already had a creative some years ago. (I was quite pleased with the performance and sound quality etc)
    However I am a bit dissapointed with Zen XFi2- The touch screen is not very successful. The scroll function does not work at a satisfactory level and sometimes (when I want to scroll), it makes a "selection" rather than "scrolling".
    Also it does not support browsing with directory structure. For those people (like me) who are quite used to drag and drop type of copying for mp3 files, it is really a pain to re arrange all the songs for ID3 tag information.
    I believe these two issues are software issues and can be improved by new firmware upgrade.
    I also want to take this opportunity to tell that the software (interface software) that comes with the device is totally crap- I have never seen a software that tries to control the user rather than the user controlling the software. An ideal interface software for such a device should be the one which allows user to choose the songs from any directory, drag and drop into the device.
    I was going to return my Zen however after playing around for a few days, I somewhat get used to its sluggish touch screen behaviour and accepted ID3 tag browsing (which still gives me a lot of problem) so right now I am gonna keep it.
    May be software developpers can work on touch screen improvement, adding the support for directory structure browsing (as well as ID3 tag browser) and work on interface software a bit more ?
    Thanks
    Best Regards

    This is indeed interesting because when you say "I don't have the problems you mentioned" I believe you also refer to the sensitivity of the touch screen. This makes me ask the question if my item has some problems. Since I do not have any means of cross checking this (apparently there is no other Zen XFi2 around me) may be I should ask you this question: "When you want to browse among albums for example, you wipe your finger across the screen so the screen rolls down; can you have it fluently like in an IPOD touch?- or does it not recognize immediately and you have to do it again sometimes?"
    As for the volume button- I do indeed agree. For devices like this one; having physical buttons for at least volume, mute, stop/pause is a "must"! Choosing, browsing or starting a song is not a big deal however muting, stopping or changing the volume may be needed instantly from time to time. It is very unpractical to browse for volume, find it and adjust it!
    Also may I add that for such a nice device, there should be a remote control on the headphone/earphone cable and should employ at least stop/play/mute/volume/forward/reverse buttons. I mean think about it for a while- why would you want to take use this device- apparently not to watch movies at home! You take it with you and listen to music, while cycling, jogging, skiing, roller blading etc. It is so difficult taking out the device from your pocket, browsing for volume button and turning up and down the volume (while cycling for example!) or skipping to next song with one touch!
    Cheers

  • IPad touch screen does not respond even after full restore and update

    I have an iPad 2 64 GB
    It has for a number of months intermittently stopped responding to any touch screen inputs. This issue began almost as soon as I opened the iPad for the first time. As it was happening very rarely and normally responded eventually, so I thought nothing of it.
    This week the iPad will not respond to any touch input at all (Home, On/Off, Volume and Mute buttons still respond). I have tried the hard reset process a number of times and still nothing.
    I backed up the device to my machine and applied the latest update 5.1.1 and still no response. I then did a factory reset and still nothing.
    I have never dropped or damaged my iPad in any way.
    Does anybody know of any ongoing issues with the touch screen or a solution to this problem?

    Thank you.
    I've already booked myself in to the Genius Bar this week.
    I suspect it is a hardware failure and more specifically a loose internal connection.
