  • iphone 2g lower part of touchscreen does ot work May 4 @ 7:35 AM

    I dropped my phone a few days ago and since then the lower 1/3 of the touchscreen does not work. i initially shut it off for a few hours and the section just above the home buttons started to work if I pressed it hard enough. I've had it off for over 24hrs and I'm not able to slide the phone on to answer a call and the home buttons are still not working.

    I went to apple and they informed me that it's unfixable as the device is 1 piece and is unable to be opened - he offered replacing it with a refurbished for $199.00. I elected not to buy a new phone wondering if the problem was fixable.

    After searching utube, I discovered your site but could not find any troubleshooting guides for my problem.

    I'm all for disassemblying my device but I don't know where to attempt to fix the problem - would it be on the logic board?

    My phone is just 1 yr old and hoped to keep it for an upgrade for the next generation of iphone.

    Please advise.

    no.. sounds like your digitizer is broken.. the digitizer is the glass - a relatively inexpensive repair.

    Thanks for your help. The upper right hand corner is dented a little from the fall but no visible screen damage. I have the 2g iphone, is it still an easy fix?

    Assuming you have a 3G iPhone, we sell the front panel area including the digitizer. This front panel is much cheaper than Apple's quoted price. Here is our guide for the front panel. Good luck!
