  • endymionendymion August 2011

    put it in the oven. keep the temp under 220.  30-40 minutes ought to do it.  be sure to remove the battery, sd card, and sim card.   let it cool for awhile too.

    its not water damage from the sound it seems like it might be damage from multi touch

    felmin did you ever use the mt patch?

  • felminfelmin August 2011

    i used it like 2 times and then i un installed it like 5 months ago


  • DJGHOSTS3V3NDJGHOSTS3V3N August 2011

    Yeah, it must have been two things.

    1. You used your phone *ALOT*, your screen was very hot.

    2. You were actually using MT.

  • felminfelmin August 2011

    i think is 1.


  • RhandyRhandy August 2011

    Get one on eBay. They're cheap.

  • DJGHOSTS3V3NDJGHOSTS3V3N August 2011

    Well, if it was 1, you need to do this.

    Do what @endymion said:

    put it in the oven. keep the temp under 220.  30-40 minutes ought to do
    it.  be sure to remove the battery, sd card, and sim card.   let it cool
    for awhile too.


    OR

    Buy a New CLIQ

    OR

    Buy a New Digitalizer and install it to your phone.

    I would go with option #1.

    But, if I am correct, you can actually corrupt a touch screen file of your ROM and you could only just use the keypad, which would be frustrating, but possible.

    if this is the case, how can it be fixed?

  • Double0EKDouble0EK August 2011

    Flash it to a stock .sbf and check to see if the problem persist..

  • ygowayedygowayed August 2011

    unfortunately, flashing to stock .sbf didnt work. Not sure what happened. It all started with a zillion ghost touches, then areas of the screen started to die off until it was completely dead!!!

  • ZerodeadZerodead August 2011

    Did any of these suggestions work?

    As my phone has lost a bit of the touchscreen due to MT, I didnt realize there was a warning.
    Thanks.

  • ngiordanongiordano August 2011

    Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I think the only way to fix it is to replace the digitizer. The reason for lost sections of the screen is generally severed connections. This is why I was so reluctant to release a multi-touch patch, so many don't know the dangers. I Place a warning with mine. Unfortunately others don't :-(

  • guidoido004guidoido004 August 2011

    it is fault of the original ROM, motorola did something to the phones start dying after 1 year and a half, i confirmed this same issue with 9 other people using the original system.

    if youre using any based on official or using the original one, this is the fault. if youre using a aosp, idk what is...
    hope this info helps

  • ngiordanongiordano August 2011

    ROFL! I don't doubt that. It's sad but manufacturers are trying to sell phones...even using sleazy methods

    ---------------
    My screen died without any MT or water damage exactly a year and a half since I started using it!!!! Although as an engineer I can say that this is very hard for a company to achieve, especially with such accuracy.

  • ngiordanongiordano August 2011

    I couldn't see how that could be achieved either. Especially with updates or even rom changes. However I am seeing a lot of hardware damage occuring all at once. Much of it, I believe, is occuring from hardware pushing like OCing and even continuous flashing. It's very possible screen issues could be from corrupt files. But flashing ROM after ROM should fix it eventually. If not I would say it's hardware.

    had same problem i just orderd the screen from ebay to open it just youtube how to dissasemble the cliq and here is a ebay link for the screen cheap http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Motorola-Cliq-MB200-/150631277993?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item231252e5a9

  • I started a new job... lots of hours outside in the hot texas sun. The touchscreen has been on steady decline. Never used MT. 


    So you can put in the oven under 220 and that should help? Forgive me if I'm a little hesitant to put my phone in the oven.

  • jaydubjaydub August 2011

    You would only put to phone in the oven to fix water damage. Though I would highly recommend you try the rice method first.
