Touch screen does not work - Treo Forum

austin571 · 05-23-2008, 05:44 PM

i do not know what happened, but the touch screen does not work. Even tried a hard reset, now the screen is stuck on the alingment mode. Alltel tells me that it is broke for good. Any suggestions? Or should I ebay it for parts?

You could try replacing the screen and digitizer or wait for Alltel to get the 80 when the other cdma carriers roll it out after the exclusivity period is over or switch to verison or sprint whichever is bringing the 800 out first.

You can replace the screen and digitizer. Replacement can be found here.

It's not an extremely difficult repair.

Thanks for much for the suggestions. After deliberation, I have decided to go back to a separate PDA and cell phone. I just wish they made a cell phone that had outlook calendar/contacts without requiring the internet. I will be posting it on ebay in 3 weeks for parts - battery, charger, software. Have a great summer everyone!

You don't need the internet. You can cancel that off your plan.

Alltel would not let me cancel the internet off the treo. What a rip. I have gone back to a razr cell and axim pda. Can anyone out there use the treo for parts?
