IPhone 2G touchscreen dead

I woke up this morning to turn off my iPhone alarm, only to find a dead touchscreen. My iphone 2g is having the same issue as:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827?viewlocale=en_US
I followed all the troubleshooting steps and even restored to my last back up a few days ago. I don't expect much help since it's OOW, but the following post indicated a similar issue and was able to receive help.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2076249&tstart=0
Has anyone else experienced the same issue lately? I've also read from other sources that apple may be able to provide service for OOW iPhones purchased around a certain date within a range of serial numbers. Is this valid?
I even missed the rebate given by apple for those who bought the iPhone at increased prices, ;(

I had same issue,
I didn't received no help from aple.
I called to 3 stores in lithuania, they replayed that they do not fix iphones, went to one shop they replayed that they do not fix 2g iphones anymore.
I am a student in denmark now. So I though diferent replays will be in differnet country, but even worse. I went to apple store and they said that it will cost 500$ to replace my screen.
At the same day I came back home I threw my 2g deadstriped iphone through the window into garbage container house. At least that was fun.

White iphone 4 touchscreen dead spots

Hello Everyone,
I just bought an officially unlocked iphone 4 and there are dead spots on a specific part of the touchscreen. When I try to type in the virtual keyboard, some letters, numbers, and characters do not respond; 'w' and '2' and '/'.
I also tried to move apps around the same positions and they move back as if I removed my finger from the touchscreen.
I tried power off/on, reset holding sleep/wake button with power button for 15 sec, and restored the iphone to its original factory settings. None of those solved the problem .
Anyone facing this problem?? Is there any solution to this problem??
Your help is appreciated..

Solved (for me)
I had exactly the same issue - a portion of the screen on my 3G was unresponsive (the lower row of icons on the home screen) but seemed OK in SMS and Safari.
I tried backing up and restoring to no avail and was all set to book a date with the Genius bar... but guess what? I went to the movies last night and switched off my phone for at least 2 hours. When I switched it back on everything worked perfectly!

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

Help iphone 4S went dead, no drop, no water. Docked to pc and came up w/ error that it could not be restored

Help iphone 4S went dead, I did not drop it, docked to PC and error came up that it can't be restored

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

Iphone 4s touchscreen stops responding after a minute or so, I then have to wait at least a minute before the touchscreen works again but soon after it stops responding. I have tried hard reset, turning it off over night, etc

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

My iphone 5 became dead during working. I have tried all the possibilities but with no success

My iphone 5 became dead during working. I have tried all the possibilities but with no success. Nothing appears when we connect it with itunes. I have even tried pressing home and switch button together. Kindly help me.

Are you sure that it has a charge? Try leaving it connected to it's wall charger for a while and then see if it will start up.
Best of luck.

How do you erase an iphone that is dead?

My iphone died, won't take a charge anymore and only displays the empty battery symbol.
I have a new phone on the way and will most likely hand the dead phone over to the tech guys (it's a work phone) but I want to clear the phone first. Who knows where the phone ends up after you hand it over.
How do you clear/erase a 3G iphone that is dead?
thanks

I left it on the charger for hours but to no effect. As it was on its way out it would not even plug into my car radio to play itunes.
How about running a very strong magnet over it?
I don't like the idea of handing it over to the tech guys at my company and who knows where it ends up after that.

My iphone 5s, touchscreen is not working.

My iphone 5s, touchscreen is not working.
I have tried to reboot, holding home button and on/off. This did not work.
What must I do, I can not access the phone. Alarm is going, I can snooze it with on/off button. (Cant do this every 9 minutes!!!!)

Hi,
This fixed the phone.
Turned phone off, holding on/off button and home button till after apple logo, when it goes black again.
Logged onto iCloud, remove device from Find my iPhone.
Updated ITunes
Plugged phone into computer
Held on/off button and home button till after apple logo, until it went black, then only held home button
Phone goes into recovery mode.
ITunes registers phone as asks if you would like to restore phone to factory settings.
Once restore down, phone worked.
Lost everything other than contacts which were backed up to iCloud. (Lesson learnt - back up device.)
Thank you for your assistance yesterday.

Help...!!!! After down loading the latest software version 5.0 my iPhone went completely dead. I can't switch it on... It's completely dead. What do I do..?

Can someone help please..? After down loading to the latest software verssion 5.0. My iPhone went completely dead. Can't swith on any more. What can I do?

Hi, thank you very much for your reply. No my phone was never been jailbreak-ed. Never been dropped in water or in any wet surface. Dropped on the floor while texting yes, but it was just a one time incident, last year august i can clearly remember, but after that no more (phone still works fine even after.) restored the phone again earlier, but problem still occured. Will try to go to Apple also to ask and have it checked. Just worried because my phone is already out of warranty. Will keep you posted. Again, thanks. If you have any more advice just let me know. It would mean a lot.
Cheers,

My iPhone 3GS is dead but fully backed up to iTunes. How can I transfer my data to a new iPhone?

Restore from backup of your old iphone.
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod ...

HT4113 my iphone screen is dead, can't unlock

my iphone screen is dead, can't unlock and sync to my computer

Long shot but...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My iPhone just gone dead, It had more than 50% left.

My iPhone just gone dead, It had more than 50% left and was on my desk next to me. When I picked it up it was dead. I cannot swirch it on and when I connect it to my computer to load it does not show any signs of life.

Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear ? A reset is the equivalent of a computer reboot

HT201413 iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated

Can anyone help me?My iphone 4 is dead.I tried the hard restart,no respond at all.

Can anyone help me?My iphone 4 is dead.I tried the hard restast,no respond.

Plug the phone in to the wall charger for 30 minutes. Then disconnect and hold HOME and SLEEP for 10-15 seconds or until an Apple logo or some other image appears. If nothing happens your phone is broken.
