Chosen Solution
A 5mm vertical row of my FP2 touchscreen doesn`t respond to touch Inputs. Prevention: -You should try to avoid tensional stress of the phone (eg. phone in pocket while cycling). -Also heat could have caused this problem, which my phone was exposed to when the problem occured. Fix? I heard that the problem could be (temporarily) fixed using an electrostatic discharge from a lighter igniter. Why should this work? Is it influencing the static potential of that area, since it is a capacitive touchscreen? Has anyone damaged his phone due to the high Voltage and electric field? Are there other solutions without replacing the whole screen?
Hi @tryingtorepair , Tongue in cheek answer. There is a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty on the phone. If the warranty is still valid for your phone and there is no obvious physical damage to the screen, contact the manufacturer regarding a repair or replacement.
I just tried to do the lighter igniter fix and it did actually work. I don’t know why though, or if it is potentially dangerous to the phone, but I could barely use it so I had nothing to lose. If anybody happens to want to try this fix I did it while the screen was on. One clic on the igniter and the screen is as good as new.
