Touch screen not responding after water damage

Hello community.
I do get the fact that there is million of threads, but I want to know the opinion of others on this particular case.
I dropped my phone into the toilet (luckily, it was clear) and immediately got it out.
As I had no experience with these kind of accidents, I actually didn't turn off the phone. I used a towel and then I wobbled my phone to get rid of the water. Then, as the phone started rebooting itself, I dried it with a hairdryer (yes, I'm an idiot) and used a vacuum cleaner to help the proccess.
It kept saying this error [NAND] FileFlashAndMedia or something like that, so I turned it off for good and tried to restore it - I started getting the -1 error.
After several repetitions, iTunes finally started restoring my iPhone 5 and everything was back to normal. But then I came to the dreadful realization that the screen does not respond. Everything is ok - all the buttons, the display, even the sound seeems to be fine.
So after these 15 minutes of panicking I started to read articles and watch videos of other people. Put the phone in a bowl of rice, sealed it and I turn it on from times to times to find out if the screen started responding.
Any suggestions? Do you think there is a possibility to recover it?

Touch screen not responding after iOS 7.0.2 update

This morning I updated my iPhone 4s with the iOS 7.0.2. After the update I was prompted with the "Hello > slide to set up" screen, but when I tried to "slide it" nothing happened. I tried many times with my finger and a stylus, but still nothing. The screen eventually went black as it does when there is no activity. When I press the home button the "slide to set up" screen reappears. I tried holding the power button down, but couldn't "slide to power off". I restarted it by pressing the hold and home buttons at the same time, after the restart it went back to the "slide to set up" screen. The touch screen was working just fine up until the update. Please help me figure out what's wrong with my phone!

I'm sorry to hear about the issues that you've recently ran into with your device. I'll do everything I can to ensure you have a working device.
Do you have iTunes on your computer? Have you done a restore since the issue has been going on? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

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
Time to trash this useless,good for nothing phone..Sony please stick to making TVs and Cameras smartphone is beyond you.

Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacement

After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways.
I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU

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.

IPod Touch Screen not Working after using Assistive Touch

Hey everyone!
Yesterday my iPod Touch 4th gen touch screen froze (not the screen itself - it still wakes from sleep & responds to notifications and charging etc.), after myself accidentally taping 'Voice Control' on Assistive Touch.
I was wondering, since it's out of warranty (it's a couple of years old), I can't send it back. I'm currently backing up & restoring it.
Can anyone tell me if it's the software or hardware? It's going to take at least a good day or so to backup & restore, due to storage is full, and it's 32GB capacity, so it'd be good to know in advance.
And if anyone has got any other suggestions to fix it, please let me know! It'll be much appreciated.
Thanks heaps!
PS. Please don't tell me to repair it...it'll cost just as much to fix my whole iPod, buttons & screen than it is to buy a brand new one!!

There is really no what to know if hardware or software problem without trying to restoring the iPod. First from backup and then to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem then it is a hardware problem.

Anyone have issues with "touch screen" not responding?

Does anyone find that the touch screen doesn't respond? I have huge issues with this style.
Touching and swiping on a screen that is 1.5 inches isn't fun. I need shade to read the screen (bad for snow), I need to go thru so much just to get to a song, a podcast, whatever that was playing before I HAD to turn off nana. I need to turn off nano each time.
1. Turn on by holding button like forever.
2. swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe to get to songs or podcast. Select, select, touch selcet, not selecting, touch, touch touch.
3. Select 'songs; selevet something else to get to a screen that says shuffle.
4. Select, select, touch, touch, use index finger, thumb, touch, breath on finger, touch again.
5. After one song plays after selecting "shuffle", it repeats, repeats,
6. Take ipod out of pocket, stand in shade, hit the snooze whatever button, to activate screen, Is screen activitated? yes? But it blinked off to quick to make selectioon of touch proof screen.
7. Walk inside to touch screen, to see screen. Hit button, wait for long time for this to start again (much like laptop starting).
8. Swipe to get to menu with songs, swipe, swipe, swipe swipe.
9. Select music: albums, artist songs. By selecting I mean touch touch touch, touch, use thumb, touch. for each selection
10. Are you sure this is an Apple product?
Can I return this POS and wait for someone to go back to what worked best??

Oh, and yes I have restored to factory settings. Then resynch.
I have done the soft reset or whatever it's called on this one.
It is updated.

Lenovo A6000 Plus touch screen not responding

I own a Lenovo A6000 Plus mobile. Some parts of my screen do not respond at times but after a few hours it again starts responding. This cycle has been repeating for a month. Kindly suggest me a solution and whether this is a software or hardware issue.

Hello Sir, I had recently buyed a Lenovo A6000 plus smartphone from flipkart around 8-9 days back. From the very first day It's touch was sometime not responding for which I had to press power button twice and it continued to work.So I had not taken this problem seriously. But from last 3 days it frequenty stops responding and many a times automatic touch events are occuring When I downloaded a Multitouch Testing App Then I found that central part of the touch is mostly in touched state so that when I touch it's actually second touch for my mobile.Since blue dots appear for first touch event and Red for second touch .I Informed this issue to Flipkart for which they asked me to download their smartapp and their executive asked me to open that app and touch the screen. I followed same process. On the next day they informed me That they were not able to find any manufacturing defect in it. So they asked me to reset my phone and update the software I followed same steps but still problem is not fixed. So I want to ask that is this really a software problem or Flipkart is actually trying to fool me?? Thanks for replying.
