Left side of my screen touch isn't working !

The left side of my screen isn't responding to text. Letters like a, w are impossible to type and cannot access any of the icons on the left side of the screen. I went to apple and they said its an hardware issue and I'd have to pay $200 to replace my screen. But then I was reading through some of the discussions and people said how they had a loose cable issue and they fixed it. I'm out of warranty too so if I did have a loose cable connection would it be free of charge ? Because I'm considering going back to the apple store to have a chat with them again.

Apple does not repair phones, they exchange them. As yours is out of warranty, you can get an out of warranty exchange for $200, which is what you were offered the first time around "to repair your screen".

  • Screen is clicking on left side, and left side wont respond to touch

    Hey guys. I've got quite the question for all the techies out there. I have an iPod Touch, just barely a year old. I turned it on today, and found a really annoying problem: the left 1/2 inch side of my touch screen (so, the far-left colum of apps) will not respond to any touch at all. I have tried shutting down, restarting, rebooting, any all of that sort of stuff. Nothing seems to help.
    Also, when I apply even the slightest of pressure to the left side of my screen, it almost sounds like a 'click', like the screen is not fully connected to the back of the iPod. I have never heard this sound before, nor have I ever had any problems with it. Like I said, my iPod Touch will be a year old at the end of July.
    Any help with this would be greatly appriciated. Thank you soo much!(:

  • Since upgrading to the newest ios 6.1.26 itunes isn't showing my app list on the left side of the screen, nor does it show all of self made movies, only the purchased ones. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

    Since upgrading to the newest ios 6.1.2 itunes isn't showing my app list on the left side of the screen, nor does it show all of my self made movies, only the purchased ones. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem? The iTunes store and most of the other features show up but other normal features seem to be missing too. I wish I hadn't upgraded. Anyone else having this problem???? 

    If you are talking about iTunes on your computer use the iTunes View menu item, "Show Sidebar".
    If not, I have no idea what you are describing.

  • My iPhone 3GS has dead spots on the left side of the screen, does anyone know how this problem has started or how I can fix this?

    Over the past couple of months, my iPhone 3GS has had dead spots on the left side of the screen, preventing me from using the r, d and x keys, the number 4 and the semi colon and comma keys. Does anybody have any ideas on why this has happened or any ideas that I'll be able to fix this problem?
    Just a note; I can't put my phone to sleep or turn off as my lock button isn't working, so I'm using the AssistiveTouch settings.
    Thanks.

    This has no impact on the ability to purchase a new iPhone... it simply means that the newer one will not be at a fully subsidized price.
    You could always take it to Apple and do an Out of Warranty exchange (I'm assuming the device is out of warranty) for $149 US.

  • The left side of my screen keeps freezing

    Recently the left side of my screen has been freezing. How can I fix it?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - 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 you stil lhave the problem then it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My vertical column of bookmarks down the left side of my screen has disappeared and I need to find a way to get it back in the same place.

    This is purely a lay-out issue. We used to be able to choose to permanently display our bookmarks vertically down the left side of the screen, and I want to continue to be able to do so. My bookmarks are not lost; I know they are in my library. But the system doesn't seems to allow me to leave them on permanently down the left side. Please help. I have Windows 7 64-bit and the latest version ofFirefox.

    Do you mean that the bookmarks sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks) gets disabled?

  • How to I make pop up windows go back to the left side of the screen when they are moving to the right?

    Whenever I click on a link, a new window pops up. That's good, that's what I wanted. They've always opened on the left side of the screen. However, they are now opening in the middle of the screen. This has happened before and the screen eventually opened completely on the right. Last time this happened, I ended up having to delete something. I don't remember what, but it solved the issue. Please help!

  • How do I get Firefox to show bookmarks in a permanent, vertical column on left side of the screen?

    IE allows me to bookmark my favorites and keep them listed in a vertical column on the left side of the screen--which I keep open at all times. Is that function possible in Firefox?

    To open the Bookmarks sidebar, in the View menu select Sidebar and then Bookmarks. Alternatively use the keyboard shortcut Control+B

    my scrollbar has unexpected moved to the left side of the screen in stead of the right side, and I don't know how to move it back. This only occurs in Firefox.

    Set the pref layout.scrollbar.side to ''2'' to place the scroll bar at the right side.

  • A bookmarks list has appeared on the left side of my screen and I can't get rid of it. Tried restore and even uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox 4.

    I don't know what I can add. The bookmarks list is on the left side of the screen and crowds everything else to the right so that I can't read it. I've tried everything I can think of to move it or get rid of it.

  • When I render my video I get a black bar on the left side of the screen

    I just upgraded to FCS 2 and so far it's been a complete waste of money. I'm having nothing but problems with FCP, Compressor, and QMaster. I will just post my FCP problem here.
    I've edited a weekly video podcast and everything looks great, until I render it and export it. When I render it, I get a constant, solid black bar on the far left of the video that takes up about 5% of the screen. My layers are definitely sized correctly to fill up the entire canvas, and they are all centered. I cannot figure out why I am getting this black bar or how to get rid of it without ditching the upgrade and going back to FCP5.1.
    I have already tried completely uninstalling the FCS suite and reinstalling. No luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
    My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
    My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
    The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
    I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
    MP4
    h.264 codec
    720x405
    1000 video bit rate
    Main Profile
    No cropping/filters or anything.
    The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
    I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
    Thoughts?

  • On FaceTime contact are on the left side of the screen...they use to be on the right side much better how do I change this listing to the right side?

    FFace time contact listing are on the left side of the screen they use to be on the right side...why the change and how can I change the listings to the right side?

    There doesn't seem to be a setting for that. As to why Apple made the change, only they would know.

  • How do I pin the bookmark sidebar to the left side of my screen?

    How do I pin the bookmark sidebar to the left side of my screen? My bookmark sidebar (vertical on the left side of the screen) is gone. When this would happen in the past I wold F10 and then select to view (or pin...can't remember the wording of the command) the sidebar. It was always visible with my bookmarks sorted. Now that sidebar is gone and I can't figure out how to add it back. HELP!

    *You can toggle the Bookmarks sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebars > Bookmarks" or Ctrl+B
    *You can toggle the History sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebars > History" or Ctrl+H
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
