@Saif

Try going through the blackberry setting first and recalibrating the touchscreen. If I recall, there is a setting that allows you to recalibrate it.

You may have bought some cheap or imitation junk from China. However, I think the sensitivity of the touch screen has to do with certain external components surrounding that chip on that flex cable. Thats the capacitive touch controller. The capacitor next to it, if it touches any other metal, it could potentially short circuit, rendering it unless or having unpredictable results. One way those components could short circuit is if you didn’t put the tape back on where it was supposed to be. Look at the last photograph in this article, see the teflon tape? That was supposed to cover the touch screen controller and surrounding components. Make sure that tape goes back on before reassembling.

I’m not 100% understanding what you are saying. However, anything conductive can short circuit components or traces which were not originally intended to be connected. Salt/deposits can be recognized as a white substance, and areas that look corroded.

Hi Steven
Would you know the answer to the question below?

Liquid can blow certain components right? But the problem can also relate to salts/deposits etc.. So how might you learn to regocnise the differance and apply the correct repair process? Info in regards to this topics is very rare..

I would be very grateful for some advice as I am eager to learn and your input would be valuable to me..

Hi, I have a BB Torch 9800 and I just replaced the housing. Everything went fine but when I was removing the LCD screen I had to push pretty hard to remove it from the plate because of the sticker and I broke it. I bought a new display and installed it. I put the phone back together witho no problem and it works pretty good, except that the digitizr screen seems to be extremely sensitive. It’s like if something is making a little contact between the lcd screen and the digitizer, but I cleaned it perfectly a couple of times and nothing. Still the same problem. Do you know what could it be?

@Mark WGF

Not sure, is the proximity sensor clean? Is it obstructed? What do you mean by white touch?

@Johnny Andrade
I’m not 100% sure, as I haven’t opened this phone for a while, but from what I remember, there are no screws holding the touch screen to the phone. In that case, you would only need to split it to pieces to get to the ribbon cable on the reverse side of the LCD to remove the touch screen. Since you don’t need to remove it, It should be fine for you to separate them by prying apart using a plastic screwdriver probably starting from the speaker area and working your way around. Just don’t separate too much since the ribbon cable is still attached. The adhesive seems to remain sticky enough that you can just stick it back on as long as the adhesive doesn’t get dirty.

I have a blackberry torch 9800. There is sand in between the LCD screen and the touch screen. Can I only remove the touch screen and clean it? Or do I have to disassemble the whole phone? Once I remove the touch screen, will it just glue back again or will I have to put something in between?

Great this how to fix…..! We were already thinking about buying a new printer (what a waste for we had recently changed the cartridges). My husband needed 1,5 hours to clean the printer. He did exactly what the “guideline” describes. It prints like new again, including the red colours. Thanks,Nelly
