Touch screen ripped out by toddler! HP 7520e

Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum. Please move if needed.
My one year old son got curious and "explored" our printer. He disconnected the swiveling touch screen! It attaches by two ribbon cables to the unit. The ribbons insert into the connectors normally. They do not look damaged. This seems unlikely and I am prepared for the worst, but can they just be re-inserted into the connectors? Is this something I can try, or does this require special tools and expertise? It looks like the connectors plug into a socket and that the connectors stayed inserted while the ribbons came out. Is this true? If so, can I unplug the connectors and try re-inserting the ribbons?
If I need to take this in for authorized repair, would it be covered under warranty? If not, would the repair cost as much as a new unit?
Thanks for your help.
Pete

No need to taking things apart.
the narrower cable on the right, you can just push back in to the slot.
The wide one has a flip lock (brown), flip it up, insert the ribbon and flip down to lock it in place. Unless it's broken, or the brown piece missing, then you would need professional repair.

IPhone 6 touch screen spazzing out

My new iPhone 6 touch screen randomly goes nuts. At first it was just a dead spot on the screen where the y key was located, it wouldn't let me touch anything there, then this issue stopped abruptly. Now it's just doing stuff on its own, opening apps and rapidly going from one app to another when I barely even touch it. (For instance, I opened Facebook and it randomly selected a person's status, jumped back to the newsfeed, went back to the status, copied someone's comment, went to search and pulled up a new person's profile, closed, opened YouTube, then I locked it and unlocked it to find Safari open. All within a few seconds.) I tried a hard reset, and the issue is persisting. I'm starting to hate this thing. It's such a nice phone, except for all this. Anything I can do, or do I just have to complain to the Verizon store and have them send me a new one?

Touch screen Zoomed out totally and is almost frozen.

Tried switching off, reset, restore via i-tunes etc..
Who can help me?

Happened to me with both unintended 3 finger taps (zoom) and 3x homebutton (negative)
These useless 'quick buttons' are VERY annoying (2 unitended taps with 3 fingers or 3 unintended clicks with the home button etc.)
Maybe we have people around us that know these tricks, and play games with us, but ....I already restored my phone twice for a perceived VIRUS.
1st time all remained in photo negative (press home button 3 x which I did not know). Lost all my data and the iPhone remained in negative until someone gave me the 'code' to resolve this. (Really looks like something is wroing: who would want 'negative' as a homebutton feature...?)
Then this 'unresolvable' zoom occured today which made me sick and restore. Until I read this forum.
Apple used to be the ultimate 'user friendly' 'foolproof' company, and we all might be fools, but who the **** would want to have a MEGA zoom feature that disallows any operation of your phone and remains even after a restart?!
APPLE:
PLEASE TAKE THESE 'SHORTCUT ACTIVATION' FEATURES OUT of the primary interface
and make many unintended users happy!!
And if they need to be there, put them in the 'settings' menu, because just look at the Forums and draw your own conclusions !!

Faulty touch screen for my Droid Incredible 2

I have a Droid Incredible 2, but I am having a tough time being positive about it. The lower edge of my touch screen has become non-responsive and/or finicky at random times. While on the desktop, I often can't get the "Phone" button to work. It is like the bottom edge of the touch screen shuts off. That is quite irritating, but it is not as irritating as it is after I actually get in to my phone. If I call someone and get an answering machine, I can't hang up. The "End Call" button doesn't work. This becomes bearable if I call someone and the person answers. It is bearable because the phone will let me out of the loop when he or she hangs up. However, not being able to hang up on an answering machine is quite irritating, especially if it is one that allows for an endless length message. I've found that powering off is the only way out of that predicament.
The touch screen has been a problem while in other programs, too. It is a pain when playing a game and not being able to do something because the touch screen gives out. In those situations, forcing the screen to black and re-dragging down to get it often allows me to keep going, but I don't think I should have to deal with that.
What am I to do? There is no recalibration for my touch screen. Is getting a replacement phone an option? Heck, I am not sure if I am even under warranty.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

How and when did the screen went blank? Battery level? Using an specific application?

Touch screen on iphone issues

Touch screen is out of wack.....I cannot use my keyboard, make calls, text messages and/or anything else revelant to the screen. Please help???

When I try to access the settings menu and/or any other menus, it does not recognize it. Like I keep tapping on it and it doesnt even open. All I am able to do is power off my phone and barely slide the "slide to unlock"....

Please reply my outer touch screen have been broken

My outer touch screen have been broken last night its still have a one year warranty ! Can I return it to apple store and fix it for me or will they give me a new device ? How much does cost if I need to pay money ?!

Probably not as user damage is not covered. Apple considers almost all screen breakage as user caused and thus is not covered by warranty. If you have Applecare+ you can get the device replaced much cheaper than the normal replacement cost. Apple would replace the device at your cost as Apple does not currently replace 5s screens.

Tx2 1020us touch screen out of control

My tx2 touch screen is acting like someone is randomly tapping the screen but no one is touching it. I tried uninstalling everything under "digitizers" in the Device Manager. When they were uninstalled, the computer worked fine as a nontouch screen device, but when I rebooted and let it reinstall the N-Trig_Digitizer driver--it didn't reinstall the two "digitizer" items that had been there--the ghost tapping started up again.
Anyone have any ideas on whether there's a driver/settings/software fix for this? I'm really disappointed (I really love this computer) because it looks like a hardware problem, and the maching is 3 months out of warranty. Is it hard to replace the screen, assuming I can get and afford a new one?
The computer is running Windows 7 64-bit with all the drivers downloaded from the HP download page for this device. I put in a solid state drive a month or two ago, reinstalled Win7 and all the drivers then. It was working spectacularly until a couple days ago when it started doing this.

It's this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046017
As a work-around, you can go into Settings -> Display and then uncheck "Scroll title bar".

So my phone got wet the other day. I dried it out completely, but the touch screen still isn't working. Is there anything I can do short of getting a new phone? Anything that can be done at the nearest Verizon store? I am one of three phones on our plan and I am trying not to need to get a new phone before our contract expires next month.

Hello wetphone!
We're sorry to hear that your phone isn't working. It's very important to have a functioning touchscreen! Let's explore your options OK? If the phone is taken to a store, troubleshooting can indeed be done. The store representative can even contact us while you're there. Do you have insurance on the device? Or, do you maybe have a prior vzw device that can be activated until the upgrade is available? You can also check your My Verizon account to see if your line( or another line on the account) is eligible for an upgrade. VZW always has options for you.
Thank You,

Help to pick-out a new windows 8 touch screen laptop

I Don't need to most expensive or the cheapest. I guess I want the most bang for my buck. I am not up-to-date on my PCs so I need your help. Just reply with your thoughts and ideas. I've always had Hp but it has been 3 years since I have bought a new laptop. I have a few android tablets but no new laptop. The main one I use now is a 64 bit windows 7 with 2.2GHz duel core 17" screen and 4gb ram. It still works just fine but I'm thinking about a faster PC and want the touch screen like my tablets. No resistive touch screens if they even make them anymore.
Looking for the following
windows 8
touch screen
i7 or same in amd
8 gb or more ram
not sure about the rest
Please give me your opinion or advice. if you could buy anything at best buy, which ones and why? PS I game on the PS3 (soon on the PS4) but not on the PC and I don't like lag or buffering in any way.
Solved!

hmmm, from what you are telling me, I would suggest this laptop:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+15.6%22+Touch-Screen+Laptop+-+8GB+Memory+-+750GB+Hard+Drive+-+Bla...
I would suggest because I am an asus fan myself, I have always used them as my go to manufacturer with my motherboards on any custom built PC i put together. They are a very reputable name, and are very well made. It should meet all your needs, has 750 GBs of hard drive space (gives you enough room for all the HD pictures and videos!) as well as plenty of ram and an i7 Processor. The ONLY thing i see that might be slightly better is a couple of the sony vaios have solid state drives, and that is a nice plus. Faster boot times, faster read/write speeds. But as you said you didn't want something to make you spend more if it was not a big difference and while it would be a difference, I don't see it being THAT big of a difference for yourself. If you can find a local best buy that has that Asus, I would suggest going in to check it out if its on display. Get a feel for it and see if you like the keyboard. That is a big MUST on buying a laptop, making sure you like the keyboard!
I hope this helped! post any other questions if you like!
Even though I work for best buy, my posts and thoughts are that of my own and do NOT represent best buy in ANY WAY.

HT2907 How do you stop inadvertent contact with the touch screen? Why no Lock Button? Doesn't anyone work out at Apple?? MY Gen 7 also doesn't link to workout equipment automatically like my Gen 6 and I can't stop the bloody voiceover. Any thoughts?

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.

Looking for pin out for tx2000 touch screen

any one have the pinout or know where I can get it for the TX2000 touch screen. I'm looking to put this into my car as a monitor for my carputer. HP techs can you help me out. Many thanks.

Hello mricci,
As long as it is not customer induced damage, the screen is replaceable under your warranty. I do not believe changes in temperature would be considered CID. In other words, as long as you didn't drop it or throw it, it should be replaceable. I would contact the Ideapad Support line and schedule a repair for it.
Keep in mind for future references that when a computer is exposed to temperatures coler than 32 F, the liquid in the lcd can freeze up when that happens. To warm up the computer, it must be exposed little by little to a warmer temperature to avoid damage to the screen and condensation to it's internal hardware. Hope that helps.

HP Stream 7 5701 Tablet - disable touch screen for toddler

I have a toddler who likes to watch iTunes movies on the HP Stream 5701 Tablet but he touches the screen and stops the movie. Is there a simple and easy way to disable the touch screen and let the movie continue to play?

You don't disable the touch screen persay.. it simply disables buttons except sleep, and the only control on the screen is a box to unlock the screen (The movie is in full screen playback). The unlock button can be as simple as a push button, to something as complex as a gesture. So the kid is free to put his hands all over the screen with little fear of stoping or exiting the movie.

My touch screen isnt working. There is definitly something wrong thats out of my power. Its a ipod 3g 8gb. How much will it cost to get it fix at a local itunes store

First if your iPod is 8gb it is not a 3g. It's probably a 2g.
Apple will replace your iPod for $99. This is a complete replacement not a repair. This won't be done at an Apple store.

There are third party repair shops that might be able to do a repair. Google search for them.
