Lcd touch screen buttons don't work

I've had this for three years with not a single problem.I turned on yesterday and found that when set to play/edit mode the buttons on the touchscreen don't work.In the manual it says I should calibrate it and I followed all the steps exactly as the manual said but it didn't work. It might help if the manual said what happens after you touch the cross on the screen when calibrating, all that happens is the cross moves to one of three positions, it doesn't say what you're supposed to do after the cross has moved. I would rather avoid taking it for repair if there's anything I can do to get it working myself.

    I didn't say the LCD screen doesn't turn on. The camera fixed itself after I just left it for 24 hours,I wonder how much your shop would have charged for that.

The flexwire is the problem of your camera and if all wiring will be cut the next stage of problem is the lcd monitor would not turn on...go to a service center for replacing or repairing the flexwire...is not easy for repairing that if you are not a technician that wiring is like a strand of hair that why is difficult to fix but in our shop we modified that and become more durable than the original...

Garmin Nuvi 1300 touch screen not working

It sounds like you need your touchscreen replaced. The touchscreen is soldered to the LCD display, so the touchscreen must be unsoldered from the LCD display and a new touchscreen resoldered to the LCD display. Please do not attempt to do this yourself. You can easily damage the LCD display in the process. More information about touchscreen replacement can be found here:

Sony hc-32 touch screen won't work

When touch switches become nonworking then mostly its cause of connecting flexible ribbon wires between LCD board and camcorder main board that got cracked so touch buttons signal does not go to camcorder system control. Need to replace that flexible wire by qualified camera tech.

Very rare cases I found touch buttons layer that is pasted and part of LCD becomes defective, do you see hard or deep scratch on LCD surface? if yes, then LCD screen will be replaced because touch button array is damaged.
Thanks.
