Nokia 300 Frozen Touch Screen

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can offer any help or advice on a problem I have encountered with a Nokia 300?
The problem is that the screen seems to have completely frozen and as such the phone is now totally useless. I have tried all the usuall stuff like removing the battery etc but to no avail. All the more puzzling is that the keys seem to work fine,but as you need to swipe across the screen to unlock the phone these are also useless at present.
Really I suppose I have two questions -
1. Can anyone offer any advice on how to get the screen working?
2. If the screen remains unresponsive is it possible to unlock the phone by any other means? so that I can retrieve phone numbers etc that are saved to phone memory
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer

Press the green/call button instead.
Hope this helps.

  • NOKIA Lumia 710: Touch screen focus no longer work...

    Hello.
    I've only had my Lumia 710 for two weeks.  Up until 4 days ago, the touch screen focus attribute was working perfectly.  I was taking pictures and it simply stopped working.
    I've since tried resetting the camera options back to defaults with no luck.  I recently updated the phones software pn 10.18.2012 with no change either.  I also took out the battery and sim card out of frustration and obviously had no luck.
    Aside from having to do a hard reset, does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to possibly fix this?
    Maybe I'm missing an obvious and simple setting?  Maybe not. Lol
    Thank you. :-)

    Hi Oddmoore,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    Normally Nokia Lumia 710 should focus on the part you tap with your finger (and show a reticle while doing so) and snap a picture. There is no setting to switch this off, so it should be working by default.  We would advise you to reset your phone at Settings > About > Reset your phone. Just remember to backup your media files before doing so, because it will wipe your phone clean. If the issue persists, visit your local Nokia Care point and let them have a look. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Palm Z22 frozen touch screen

    Hi -- I can turn on my Palm Z22, I can reset it, i can use the buttons, but the touch screen doesn't work at all.  Does anyone know a fix for this?
    Thanks,
    Betsy
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    To add to this.....I just performed a hard reset and after confirming that I wanted to delete all data, it then asked me to "Tap the center of the target" with the stylus.  The target just keeps alternating between top left corner and bottom right corner in an endless loop and won't leave that screen no matter how many times I tap the target.  Is my Z22 gone for good?
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm having a similar problem. Brand new phone. Everything works well. Touchscreen responds to finger touch but the stylus will not cause a responce. Did a soft reset. Is a hard reset in order or is there a setting somewhere I haven't found yet?

    Unfortunately upon this manufacturer's sponsored forum discussion of disassembly of devices is prohibited primarily due to warranty considerations and can only advise visiting Nokia Care facility. That said screen connectors are quite delicate and if not familiar you may complicate the issue trying to repair it yourself.

  • Frozen Touch Screen.

    This just happened recently today, not even three hours ago. I thought my iTouch glitched, but it seems worse. The screen is completely frozen, though it still is active. I double click and it brings my music, but I can`t do a thing with it. Every time I try to unlock it with the slide, it doesn`t do anything at all. Even when I try turning it off, it doesn`t even work, too.
    I restored it through iTunes to see if it stopped the glitching, but it just won`t work at all. What should I do?
    Edit: I recently tried sliding the shut off, and it went halfway, but slides back. Why is my screen so messed up? D:

    I have been having the same exact issue except the "off" slide bar does not move at all. I hope you get it resolved.

  • Nokia C3-01 Faulty Touch Screen

    My Nokia C3-01 touch screen stopped working.  I changed the screen to a new one, but it is still not working.  Any advice please?

    Unfortunately we are prohibited from discussing disassembly of devices upon this manufactuer's sponsored forum and it perhaps time to seek professional help from Nokia Care facility should this even be viable option.

    Hi uvijay,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Have you done calibrating the touchscreens of the two devices? Also, check if soft reset will fix your problem. You can do a soft reset by dialing *#7780#. After that you'll be asked to enter a lock code. Just enter 12345 if have not changed it. You can also do the steps advised by @ng85 (message no. 4) above.

    the screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

    Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

  • Nokia C3-01 get hanged with Touch screen lock

    I have been using Nokia c3-01 for the past few months and the firmware is uptodate.(V 7.51) Some time after a call has been disconnected the touchscreen lock will be activated and it will not get unlocked.(The Touch Screen will not respond). The phone has to be restarted by removing and reinserting the battery. Hope this complaint would be solved in the next software update.
    Any user facing this problem, please report
    Thank You

    Hi Almach89, 
    Welcome to Nokia discussions board! 
    We are sorry for the inconvenience. I advise yout to try and back up your data with Nokia Suite. If you do not have it installed on your PC yet, you may do so with this link. 
    Then connect your device to it and go to Tools > Back up. Also go to Synchronise > Synchronise now > All. Once the sync is completed, check the different tabs to see if the data has been correctly synced. If this is successful, your data will now be safe (please use your own judgement).
    You may update your device from the updates tab to see if that fixes the screen issue. 
    Alternatively, please take your device to your nearest Nokia Care Point or call your Local Careline, please find the details via this link. 
    Feel free to post any other questions you may have.

      Hi  Shtru,
    I will suggest you try and calibrate the device first by using the keypad, the steps to do this are as follows:
    Menu > Settings > Phone > Touch input > Touch screen calibration. Follow the instructions on the screen.
    This should address your issue.

  • Nokia Lumia 520 - Screen Cracked, Touch Screen not...

    The other day I accidentaly dropped my 520 in the street. The screen has a large thin crack from the top left corner to about the middle right of the screen. I can live with the crack, it's barely noticable, as it looks like a hair on the screen. However, the touch screen doesn't work either, which is quite a problem.
    I've looked online and I have seen Screen Digitizers, which I believe are the glass screens which contain the touch technology. However, will I need to order anything else?

    i have had my nokia lumia for 6 months and the screen cracked randomly in my coat pocket the other day,
    as its touch screen i cannot use it at all.
    I went back to carphone warehouse and they said i should contact nokia for help.
    He also said the phone isnt a high end phone and doesnt have gorilla glass like the iphones.
    I was a bit annoyed to hear that as i had assumed all phones had toughed glass and they recommened I just buy a new phone.
    I have found a nokia care point in the area and
    "It’s great when things work perfectly.
    And it’s good to know you’ve got back up if they don’t.
    That’s why we offer our 24 month warranty to everyone with a Nokia handset. It means you can carry on with your life without worrying about your phone.
    And if something does go wrong, there’s always help at hand…" this is taken from the website "nokia care centre".
    im going to see if they will fix it.
    I dont think nokia should be selling them if they break randomly or soo easily.
