Anonymous HTC Touch Dual Touchscreen nonresponsive when keypad slide out 17 Oct 21 2009, 1:56 AM EDT by crux_mits
 
Thread started: May 19 2008, 6:46 AM EDT  Watch
Hi, after 3 months of use, my HTC Touch Dual is suffering from a strange problem whereby when the keypad has been slided out for use, the touchscreen becomes non-responsive. This is an intermittent fault, and if i slide and close it a number of times after that, it tends to work again for a short period of time. The touchscreen works fine when the keypad has not been slid out. I have attempted Hard Reset, soft reset. has anyone else come across this problem? And If so is there a fix? Does it sound like a hardware or software issue?
