Lower portion of touch screen went dead

I have had my iphone no more than a week and my touchscreen icons at the bottom are, all of a sudden, unresponsive. Of course the most important part of the phone i cannot make calls or send or check emails, listen to ipod, etc. Has anyone had this problem, if so, can I take it back to the at&t store for a replacement?
Thanks in advance

You will need to call Apple Care and set it up to be sent in or you can also call your local Apple Store and take it back to them. Your AT&T store will not do anything for you but to direct you to Apple.

My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes

Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
So, my question is:
What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
Is it because I used it while charging?
Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
Thank you for answering..

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

Touch Screen is Dead

My HTC Incredible 2 Touch Screen has dead spots and when stopping buy the store I was asked "Do you have insurance, because if you did I would just give you a new phone. But your touchability is being lost so now you have to buy a new phone."
I am 19 months into my contract. Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the insurance for the first year only?
I was told the best solution is to turn my phone on and off until the screen was usable. Come on, is this tech support?
I visited this website and it gave me steps to follow to reset the phone, claiming the touch screen prolems were caused most likely by a 3rd party app.
OK, so I reset the phone to the factory default.
Now the touch screen has more dead spots and I cant even do the initial set up on the phone. I am worse off than before. I am eligible for an upgrade, but do I want to spend more money to get into more problems with the same type of phone?
I hesitate to visit the store just to be told I need a new phone. I have not met anybody who hasn't heard the same solution, turn it on and off, if that doesn't work buy a new phone.

Brosiek, thank you for your post and explaining what you did to attempt to resolve the issue. There aren't any settings in the phone that could cause parts of the touchscreen to stop working, so that is why there wasn't much troubleshooting. It does sound like the phone needs to be replaced. The warranty is covered for one year unless you have an extended warranty. Insurance is for when the phone is damaged, lost, or stolen. Also, you mentioned purchasing the same type of phone with an upgrade. When eligible for an upgrade, you can choose any phone that we have available, but the pricing will vary. Upgrading would be the best option at this point unless you have an extended warranty.

Battery won't work, screen went dead. Ideas?

Hi all,
I took my 17" out of it's bag today and plugged it in and turned it on. After about 2-3 min of using the screen went dead. I restarted. Same thing, after 2-3 min of use the screen dead. Everyhing was still running fine, but the display. I restarted again and now the screen is so dim I can't make anything out, but I can faintly see some graphics. I unplugged it from the AC cord, it instantly shut off. The battery is fully charged but doesn't seem to work. Only on AC, and even then the screen is so dim is might as well be black. Any ideas? I tried the brightness button, I can just see the brightness logo come up but no change on the screen. Thank you for your time!

Yes, BSteely makes a good point. You should definitely try resetting your PMU. Turn off your PowerBook, then press Shift-Control-Option-Power simultaneously, wait five seconds and then turn on your PowerBook.
Also try resetting the PRAM. Turn off your PowerBook, turn it back on and immediately press and hold Command-Option-P-R until the startup chime repeats.
Probably this won't fix the problem, but it definitely won't cost you anything.

Since i changed to Firefox 4, now I no longer can view the lower portion of my screen which reveals the LOCK security feature. Please advise how to fix this?

IMAC 24" screen went dead. Can I buy a mac compatible monitor and still use the IMAC hard drive?

IMAC 24" screen went dead. Can I buy a mac compatible monitor and still use the IMAC hard drive - which is still working? I took it to the Apple store and they quoted $500+to replace the monitor. No help as usual. Can I buy a MAC compatible monitor ($189) and use it as a primary monitor? Can I set it up if the screen on the IMAC is dead? Any other solutions?

The only negative to not having the original drive will be the work needed to reinstall all the apps and reconfigure to your liking. You will also have to decide whether to stay on Lion (which you should update to 10.7.4, BTW) or bite the bullet and take a leap of faith on Mountain Lion.
In either case, to simplify matters you would do well to concoct a Lion or ML bootable installer on a USB stick. In either case, you need to get the corresponding installer downloaded onto the hard drive and, instead of running it to execute the install, extract the coveted InstallESD.dmg image from which you construct the bootable installer. See here for details: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17782820#17782820 The procedure applies the same to both of the latest cat flavors.

My ipod touch screen went white and when i plug it into my computer....nothing happens. help!

I went to turn on my iPod Touch one day and the screen went white. Tried resetting and got nothing. Tried plugging in to usb port and got nothing. Neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my device. What do I do now?

By resetting did you see the apple logo? Try pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank (black) and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reset.

My screen went dead, I have now got the apple logo and nothing more seems to happen

My ipad screen went blank and I have now got it started again with the start button and the home button. I now just have the Apple logo on the screen and nothing else. I am now charging the ipad. Do you think it will recover?

Hello there, fennell12.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iOS device not powering on:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
If you continue to receive the Apple Logo on the screen then this article provides additional steps for you:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

My screen went dead...well sort off

All of a sudden my screen decided to die. Well it still does something...it shows intermittend vertical lines when holding the Playbook in landscape orientation. Looks like a faded barcode.
Funny thing is, if I connect the Playbook to my HDMI TV, I get a picture. The Playbook is also still touch sensitive.
Any idea what it could be? If it is just about a lose connection a repair might be worth it. Otherwise it likely good for the bin.
Anyway, does anyone know who is providing repair services for the Playbook in Malta?

I actually did a security wipe and after that somehow the Playbook seems to have switched back to an older OS version. The screen came back alive and I thought it was just caused by an OS crash. But after upgrading the OS and restoring my backups, sure enough the screen went crazy again after a day or two.
After that any security wipe failed to get the screen back. I noticed that the Playbook now starts an OS update as part of the initial configuration, hence I'm automatically back to the latest OS.
Are there somewhere some instructions on how to downgrade the Playbook OS to the original release?

Upgraded to Windows 10 on Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch, screen went dim

Hello,I just installed the free Windows 10 upgrade on my Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch last night. I woke up this morning and booted up my computer, and everything was fine until I attempted to change the brightness. When I tried to do this, my screen went very dim, and now I can't adjust the brightness (and I can't read my screen well, either). Normally, I would install/reinstall the video driver in order to fix this problem (recommended for other users with similar issues), but I currently do not see a Windows 10 version of the driver I need on the Lenovo website.I was wondering:a) if/when a new driver would be available to install (if that's the recommended solution)b) is there something else going on?c) Windows 10 allows you to revert back to Windows 8.1 within the first month of use. Should I just do this?d) Is the p400 touch capable of running Windows 10? Why or why not?Thank you!

Hello. I also have a Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch. Screen also went dim on me. In Windows 8.1 just uninstalling graphic's driver worked. It was Control Panel, Device Manager and then Display Adapters. That doesn't work with Windows 10. The other solution of rebooting and press the increase brightness key at the Lenovo logo somewhat works but it doesn't turn the brightness all the way up. So I found this worked for me: Go here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-p-series-laptops/ideapad-p400-touch-notebook/downloads/DS031547 And just download and reinstall the old graphics driver for Windows 8. That finally got me back to maximum brightness.

HotSync when touch screen is dead?

The touch screen just died on my Zire 31. Otherwise it is still functional. Any advice on how to perform a HotSync either with the buttons on the handheld or from the Palm Desktop software? I connect to my PC with a USB cable with XP Pro as the OS on the PC. Thanks!
Post relates to: Zire 31

The application is called SyncNow. Here is the link to download it http://xvisionnow.tripod.com/cgi-bin/syncnow.pl.
Once you launch the program it automatically initiates a hotsync. It will save you that extra tap so you will be able to sync your palm, even if it is frozen.
What you need to do is, download this program onto your computer and sync it to a second device. Then, you will beam it from that device to your z22. Do a soft reset on the z22, (stick your stylus into the back reset hole) and then you will be brought to the 'prefs' screen. Using the buttons on your 5 way navigator on the bottom of your palm, select the 'buttons' option in the prefs menu and set one of the bottom buttons (calendar or contacts) to start the syncnow application. Now plug your device into the computer, press the button and presto! Your device should begin to sync.

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.

Very small portion of touch screen not working, but very annoying!

Whenever I go to use the letter Q or the number 1 while text messaging, that portion of the screen does not work.
However, when I brought up the calculator to test the screen out in all areas (as mentioned in the troubleshooting guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827), all of the numbers work just fine.
Has anyone had this happen before? If so, did a restore correct it? I've done everything but a restore. So before I go to that extreme I wanted to see if anyone else has endured the same problem and had it corrected. I know my iPhone 3GS is still under warranty, so I'm sure I can get it fixed at an apple store as a last resort.
I've never dropped the phone or had it come into contact with water or anything like that. I keep it secure in a case at all times and it's free of any scratches.

Why do people even do this dance? You have a warranty, get the phone fixed.
I have to agree with Marc. No one here can "tell" you how to fix this problem as it certainly has to be a hardware issue. I have a similar spot on my IP (the #9 when I'm playing Sodoku). I have to tap it a couple of times to get "9" to take. I suspect I may have pressed that screen area a little too hard once, but I can live with it.
IF I were doing a lot of email, I would probably go see the Genius Man, but for now I'm OK with it.
