Your Palm TouchScreen Does Not Work.

I write this tip for Palm Pda's but it is valid for many other brands of pda's and phones.

First things to try is a normal reset and then a hard reset.

To do a normal reset, press on the reset button on your handheld.

Hard reset is performed differently on different models, check palm website for hard reset instructions: CLICK HERE FOR PALM RESET INFO PAGE

if the touchscreen doesn't work at all, and you can't align or calibrate it, or it presses on wrong spots even after calibrating many times, digitizer (which is the touch part on top of the lcd display) is most likely broken and would need to be replaced. On rare cases reattaching digitizer cable and making sure that the digitizer is clean and intact and properly on its position may solve the issue.




If you are inside warranty the repair may be completely free, contact your dealer or palm.


Outside of warranty, you have 3 options.

1. Replace digitizer yourself, you can find a replacement from ebay.
2. Send it to palm for out of warranty repairs, probably around 100usd.
3. Take it to a local professional who can replace digitizer for you.

Thanks, let me know if you have any questions and good luck.
