If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

unplug battery then plug battery back in.

According to the info I could find, it supports up to 1GB of ram.

Hello,

The problem actually is from a lamp in the unit, it is getting damaged gradually that is why it is two third of the screen that has gone dark. once it gets completely damaged, the entire screen will turn dark.

Try to ***** the lamp of the television and replace it with a new one.

After doing that your television will be in good condition once again.

Take care and good luck

Go to a computer fair and get a flat screen monitor for around $195 dollars. Why even keep this anicent artifact in todays new screens?

it genarally happens when the device is dropped.if it covers warranty take it to the vendor.

I think my solution for my Viewty will work for the iPhone

I found a solution for the LG KU990 Viewty touchscreen not responding problem. After thinking about twisting my phone, I came up with another solution which actually works every time. The touchscreen works via layers of plastic that when contact is made, a signal is triggered from the coordinates of the contact. However, when the phone has pressure, these layers of plastic stick together somehow. So, to fix it.... Get a small strip of adhesive tape that will not leave a sticky residue on your screen. Apply that tape in several spots on the surface of the screen, and lift it away from the phone with light pressure. Repeat this in several areas of the screen. That's it. You're done. Your screen should function properly. Simply recalibrate the touchscreen at this point in your settings menu. I hope it helps everyone with any type of touchscreen. I know it helped me. The touchscreen phones are totally useless using only the hard keys!
