Right side of iPhone touch screen not responding

PLEASE HELP!
New to the forums.. and new to the problem my iPhone 3G is giving me. As of today, the right side of my touch screen isn't responding. The top right side responds sometimes but the bottom right doesn't.
I've turned my phone on and off, but it hasn't helped. I don't know what to do. I got my iPhone in August 2008. Please - can anyone help?

You could reset by holding home and the power button until you see the apple logo, do not let go of either until you see the apple logo. This is basically a restart. Or you could restore through itunes. I doubt either will work, but they are worth a try. By going to an apple store or authorized seller they can determine if the phone needs replaced because of a hardware issue.

I have an issue with my iphone touch screen not responding, apple replaced phone and still having same issue. They say its software, what can I do I need my phone to work

Touch screen on Iphone slowly, over a few days stopped responding. Went to Genius Bar and was given a new 3GS because they didn't know how to fix the issue. Cool. Went home synced with Macbook Pro (new-12/2010), two days later same issue. This time when I went to Genius Bar they restored the phone to factory settings and instructed me to load as a new phone in Itunes instead of restoring information of the previous phone, which is an option good for when your replacing phone not fixing one Anywho, did everything they told me to do. SAME ISSUE A FEW DAYS LATER. This time I was told the software issue is with my Macbook and I thought this made sense, so I took it in along with the phone. That was yesterday. Phone working intermittently since leaving Apple. I was given instructions that if their "daily" fix didn't work to erase hard-drive and reinstall software that came with the macbook and start fresh. This would definately fix the issue. Extreme yes, but I need use of my phone, especially since we got rid of the house phone and all use cell phones. So last night I did the required erase of hard-drive and re-loaded all software that came with it and Microsoft Office for Mac. Plugged in the phone to set up in itunes and thought that was it. My phone is still not working. Can't answer when I try, can't make calls, etc. What the heck do I do? I'm starting to feel like a major lamo having to keep going back to Genius Bar, but I know enough to know these issues should have been resolved with the steps I've taken. I even went as far as to restore through my husbands computer and same thing. Could there be a problem with Itunes? Could the magnetic stripe in my debit card be hurting the device somehow, although that's a long shot since I have had the same or similar case since getting the phone. Frustrated beyond belief. Apple support not open at this hour so I'm trying my luck here.....
Thanks for any input.

Sony Xperia Z touch screen not responding

My Sony Xperia Z has been giving me problems ever since I bought it in May 2013.By October 2013 I had to send this phone for repair twice.In the last 9 months though it was doing well and there no problem till today afternoon when I found out that the touch screen was not responding.The phone was on charge when this happened and there was a heavy downpour though not a single drop fell on the phone.I tried using the power button to switch it on and off but could not use the shut the phone option because the touch screen wont respond.I have rebooted the phone and switched it off using the power+volume up button multiple times since then.After about an hour when I was trying for the umpteenth time to key in my password I saw that some numbers were randomly getting punched in.After several attempts the phone's touch screen did respond and I was able to make a call but post that the touch screen went back to the not responding mode.Another hour later and exposing the phone to the sun beating down while i was in a car helped and this time I was able to see all my msgs and mails.My elation was shortlived as the phone went back to the touch screen not responding mode.I had a short trip to make by air and I switched off my phone and put it on charge using the USB connected to my laptop.When I switched on after landing I found that I was able to key in my password but after that the phone again got stuck.Since this last occurence about two hours ago the touchscreen has not responded.It is frustrating to see that msgs are coming,people are calling and I can see the numbers,mails are getting downloaded but I cant do anything about it.Right now the phone is submerged in a jar of rice in the hope that the mositure might dry out and it will be back to normal again.Please suggest whether using the hair dryer would help or not.I must repeat the phone has not got wet.I also removed the screen guard on both the ends and the back cover to allow the phone to breath.Waiting anxiously for help

Update for a phone that cost me 34k Sony asks 26k for repair

Touch Screen NOT responding. what to do?

okay so here is my dilemma.. My iPhone's touch screen has stopped responding. I tried restarting it by holding down the power button, I tried resetting it holding down the power/home button. I let the battery die completely before charging it again. I lost the USB cable that came with the phone so I have been charging it through firewire, but because of the firewire connection, it will not show up in iTunes so I can't reset it... And obviously I can't reset it in the phone itself because the touch screen isn't working...
Any ideas??????

Holding the Home button and the Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a Reset.
Without a USB cable for your iPhone, you cannot not sync, install any iPhone updates when made available, or restore your iPhone with iTunes, which may resolve this problem.
You need to get a USB cable that is compatible with your iPhone. Do you also have an iPod with dock connector? If so, the USB cable for your iPod can be used. If not, do you know anyone else who has an iPod or iPhone you can borrow their USB cable from until you can purchase another USB cable for your iPhone?
If a Restore does not work, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby - where you can purchase another USB cable for your iPhone.

Touch Screen not responding for setting icon in iPhone5s after upgrade to iOS 8.

After upgrade to iOS8 in IPhone 5s, the touch screen is not working for settings icon. The settings will be opened on the screen, but unfortunately I can;t use any of the operations available on the setting window. Once I pressed the home menu button or power button and re-open the settings, it works.

Your observation is right. I am facing the same issue after upgrading to iOS 8.3. The trial and error was common with Microsoft .. it seems Apple is catching up with MS .
I hope they address this issue quickly.

Touch Screen not responding on a band of area

Hi, I have a wierd problem on my new ipod touch. The screen does not respond on a band. eg., on the keyboard the top line (qwertyuiop) does not work, all the other areas work with no problem, i tried to reset couple of times, but no improvement. Does anyone encountered with same problem and found a solution for this?

The iSkin revo clearly blocks the proximity sensor, as shown by this sample pic: http://www.slashgear.com/gallery/data_files/1/4/6/iSkinRevo.jpg . The iPhone believes that your head is pressed on the phone the whole time.
Get a case that does not block the sensor, or do not use one at all.

Hp pavillon touch screen not responding

I got my laptop recently, around christmas. We ran into some problems, since it was shipped here and someone had gotten their hands on it (i.e, set up an account and password and force you to erase everything and reset the laptop).
It was working fine at first, the touchscreen and everything, but after a month or two if I closed the screen half-way when I used it the screen would act like it was being pressed everywhere. Whenever it happened, I just closed my laptop, and when I opened it it would be more or less okay.
I started disabling the touch screen instead, because I like working with it in the bed with the screen partially closed (my brother says that's why it's broken), but I've started enabling it again and it doesn't work anymore. Sometimes, the screen will react as if someone is pressing all over it, but when I actually press it it doesn't respond.
I keep the screen clean- it's not wet or anything.

Welcome to the HP Forums!

For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand that you got your notebook around Christmas. You ran into some problem after it was shipped to your location and someone had setup an account and password and you were forced to erase and reset the notebook.
After the reset initially the notebook touchscreen would work fine when the display was closed approximately half way.
After month or two when you closed it half way teh screen would act like it was being pressed everywhere, however if you closed and re-opened it would be OK again.
You started disabling the touchscreen as you were working with it while in bed and the display half closed.
Now when you try to enable the touchscreen it is not working.

Help...lower half of touch screen not responding on 3g! this is a reconditioned one sent to me from apple as my last one was sso this one i have had for about a month

...can you tell im new to this!!
Well as i was saying...
I have had this reconditioned 3gs for about a month and it has been working spot on until this evening, I received a text and went to slide the screen to answer and it is not responding.
I have shut it down, the top half of screen slides!!
I have restarted it, using top button and home button.
I have updated and restored it.
And I have cleaned it!!
Now i am out of ideas....can anyone help or do i have to give up and send back to apple...again?
If it is the latter, do you think it will cost me again or does a recon from them come with a warranty??
thank you for reading

If it was a refurb replacing one that was under warranty, the warrany is good until the original warranty expires or 90 days from replacement, whichever is longer. In either event, it should still be covered if you've only had it for a month. (assuming you're in the US here). You can try to restore it as a NEW device rather than restoring from your backup, but this sounds like a hardware failure... I think. I'm not sure what you mean by "the top half of the screen slides". If you mean only the top half is touch sensitive, how can you determine that? You wouldn't be able to slide to unlock if that were the case...
Sorry, I'm a little confused by that description.
