TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen.  Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
as to how to fix.  Thanks in advance

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Screen just stopped working

    Anybody have any experience with the screen just stops working? Literally one day was working and the next day not. It's a 2009 MacBook Pro, and I've done all the updates and taken really good care of it

    I just had this happen to me ... only the screen never came back until I did the reboot action recommended below. Got the home screen, but the slider wasn't active, then the phone went dark. I could still call it, receive calls to my bluetooth headset, etc. but the screen wouldn't come back at all until I rebooted.
    Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone, unfortunately.

  • Touch Pad Just Stopped Working Completely

    Hello this morning my Sony Vaio fit 14 (Model Number: SVF14N13CXB) touchpad just stopped working all of a sudden. No mouse pointer, nothing! Luckily I have a bluetooth mouse. I reinstalled the driver and still nothing. I even did a system restore and still nothing. Could someone please help me with this? Thank you Bounce P.S. I have had this laptop for 7 months (bought it in January of this year - 2014) EDIT (Update): I shut my computer down and left it for a while. Turned it back on and my touchpad is working again. I don't know how, but I am thankful. I did a restart when I was having the issues but that didn't solve anything. the shut down seems to have solved it.

  • My iPod screen just stopped working.

    I was listening to a YouTube song when suddenly the music stopped. I tried to exit the app but it wouldn't budge. I tried locking the screen but when I went to unlock it, it appeared to the same screen with the YouTube app open without me having to have put in my passcode.
    It wont let me restore and I don't know how to reset it.
    I'm getting notifications and I am still able to use Siri. I asked her to see if I had any new emails to see if she could function when I suddenly found out that apparently my iPod was locked.
    It wont show up with the lock screen. Just the same YouTube screen. I have that assisstive touch thingy that lets you lock the screen through the touch screen as well and it just keeps blinking. What's wrong with it and how do I fix this? Please, please help me.

    If the Home or Power button does not work see my replay to this post
    Turn on without Home/Power Button
    Otherwise:
    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.

  • TS1307 Why does send mail just stop working and how do you fix it?

    Using MacBook Pro bought last Chrismas and its mail client 5.2
    In the last 2 weeks send mail has stopped working for both my wife and myself (we have different logins / accounts / email address providers)
    We have tried different wifi / isp providers
    rebuilding the mail database
    accessing preferences and changing the default ports to specified port 25 and then back again
    taking the mail accounts off-line and then back on again
    deleting the accounts and then creating just one simple one (GMail)
    no change - send mail still does not go.
    What should we do now?
    What have we done wrong to cause this to fail in the first place?
    It was working fine, but now it is not.
    It is quite worryingand a fix would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
    Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
    If IMAP...
    Is the Outgoing server smtp.gmail.com, port 25, SSL on, & Authentication = Password

  • Touch Screen Suddenly stopped working

    Good Afternoon, The touch screen on my HP Envy Touchsmart Notebook PC  suddenly stopped working. I do not have the Tablet PC setting option available either now. All of my HID devices show as working properly. I have had Windows 8.1 for some time when this occurred, so it is not due to a recent upgrade. Additionally I am up to date with all of my installs. Please advise as this was one of the primary reasons for purchasing this laptop.Thank you   

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP TouchSmart 17 Notebook with issues of the TouchScreen now working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Touchscreen. The touchscreen shouldn't need recalibration, but if you or another user has recalibrated it, it may affect the performance of the touchscreen.Here's how to check or restore the factory default calibration using a keyboard or mouse:Press the Windows logo key Type Control Panel, then use the arrow keys to highlight Control Panel, and press Enter.
    In Control Panel, use the arrow keys to highlight Hardware and Sound and press Enter.
    Under Tablet PC Settings use the arrow keys to highlight Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input, and press Enter.
    Use the Tab key to select the Reset button, and press Enter.
    If the Reset button is grayed out, your Notebook touch calibration is still at factory settings and nothing further required. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks. 

  • IPod Touch 16GB 1st Generation - touch screen area stopped working

    Hello there, the last 2 days I'm experiencing a problem with my 16GB 1st Generation iPod Touch. One cm under the top of the touch screen and for about 10mm height, the screen is not functioning. I noticed this when I was on the AppStore and tried to buy an app. Exactly at the "Buy" button and on full width the multitouch screen doesn't work at all (touch/scroll/zoom etc.). I use OS 3.0 and I've installed it from my PC with the latest iTunes. I use the latest OS since it's release day and only yesterday the problem appeared.
    The iPod is protected with silicon case since day 1, also has a screen protector and it's never dropped, scratched or anything that could cause this problem. I believe the problem/bug/dysfunction it's software related, even tho, I've restored the iPod erasing all it's data to the factory settings with the last OS, the problem remains.
    Do you suggest me to downgrade back in version 2.0 and see what happens? Do I have to to downgrade to version 1.0? Please advise cause here in Greece the service doesn't exist as in the rest European countries and as in the rest of the world who has official Applestores.
    I use both Mac and PC with my iPod Touch, so you can suggest solutions for both platforms. (Leopard/Vista)
    I'm waiting for a response as soon as possible, thanks in advance and please advise me as an experienced user
    The iPod Touch is bought from US and brought here in Greece on January 2008. It's the iPod with the January Update in case you're wondering.
    Thanks for your time,
    Vangelis Makridakis.

    Seems that the problem isn't software related.
    I've downgraded to 2.2.1 from 3.0 and nothing happen.
    I can't buy apps from AppStore, I can't join a WiFi network and much more...
    Apple made *faulty digitizers* (touch screens) cause as I've searched on the internet, many others have the same problem. Since it's out of warranty, Apple is covered... BUT customers should know that even if they don't drop their device or if they protect them, no matter what, one day they won't be able to touch some random areas of their screens.
    As a customer _I demand answer_ and also a replacement program for faulty digitizers since will be confirmed that the customer never dropped or scratched the faulty device.
    Also, since in Greece (where I live) we don't have Apple official representation as the rest of the European countries, I probably will have to pay A LOT to Rainbow S.A for a digitizer replacement and also to wait about a MONTH to get my device back.
    Thank you Apple for making perfect products with the chance becoming lemons instead of apples.
    Vangelis.
