Anyone know how to fix a broken touch screen on nuvi 650? 2 yr old nuvi 650 touchscreen stopped responding (display still works). Any ideas?

Did anyone pay 4 map upgrades prior to the malfunction?just wondering if they are preprogrammed to lose the function after a certain #of upgrade warnings?Just me and my conspiracy theory mind here!I didnt upgrade after several warnings, cause I figured there would be just as many mistakes... why bother!

Had this same problem. Someone told me the oil from your fingers messes up the touchscreen. Simple soloution-clean with Windex.

I have the same problem too, this is ridiculous! Has anyone tried getting warranty help? I talked to customer service and it is $99 flat rate repair fee since the unit is about 1.5 years since purchase. Seems high to me, I need a map update as well, I'd be better off buying a new unit. Not very impressed with Garmin customer service.

No it isn't, as the ink is sandwiched between mylar layers. You would destroy the touchscreen attempting to do it. The fracture can not always be seen with the naked eye as well. This style of screen is well known for failing and I suspect would continue to break elsewhere. The correct way to repair this, is to replace the entire touchscreen with the original style that does not have this manufacturing issue.- JimSHARCNET-USA

I am not sure exactly what the problem you are describing is, but I had a problem with my touch screen. For me, it would just stop working. At first I re-installed the driver, but that only worked for a short time. I contacted Acer customer support and after several attempts to fix it by reinstalling things, they said it was likely a hardware issue and that I would have to send it in for repair. I had only had my computer a couple days when this happened, so I returned it.

This is a pretty embarrassing story. About 6 months ago the screen went black. I took it to a store. I was going to get a new one. At the shop, it slipped out of my hands and it clattered onto the glass counter top! I turned it on and there was the screen working again! It has been working ever since! I love this camera. Weird, huh?

Good luck with that!! I had a Nubis I got thought them. Put me in touch with the company.It cost more to ship it and fix it than I paid for it. I have e-mailed Protec about something elseand they did get back with me. Maybe they might help but don't count on it!!

Help! Same problem. Ours worked for less than 24 hours and will not turn on at all, no light, nothing. It doesn't even almost come on. Blank. Screen. Frustrated!!

No, you shouldn't have to enable anything. If the touch screen isn't working, it's probably broken.

Voice on my 255 nuvi went off.GPS works but silently..Is there a reset or is the unit broken? Voice temporarily returned, but it was in German!

Don't bother fixing the ribbon cable cuz it'll break again like mine.This time touchscreen also stopped working then battery stopped charging little after that.I replaced with new battery, new AC adapter, still didn't work. Ihave to buy or replace with a new system board. It powers on though it just won't charge, so pretty much useless for me on the road.

I had the same problem using Win 7-64. I returned it. I purchased another one, it worked for 5 days then stopped. I returned it. Not worth the price seeing you have to keep paying to ship it back. Try another brand. Now I'm waiting to upgrade to Win 8 until I can afford a better monitor because you really need a touchscreen with windows 8.

We have the nuvi 2557 lmt 5" screen and it's not a problem, so I'm not sure. Always remember if it doesn't work you can return it. We love ours, it's so much nicer than anything else we have tried. I'd say give it a try. Hope this helps. Good luck

I had a similar problem wife closed hers on my thumb and cracked the screen. bought a new screen on amazon for about 50 bucks. only took about 15 min to replace. there is a youtube video if you need it. Good Luck

The touchscreen is only the clear glass that goes on top of the LCD screen. If you have green lines under the glass, then the problem is most likely in the LCD screen and this will not fix it

Screen was un responsive on my old unit. Purchased the new stat based on old unit. Simple replacement, only needed to re-program. Have to agree with other responder - it's likely cheaper to replace the entire unit

Hello,Based on my own experience, this is the problem with the LCD panel. In the case of mine, the digitizer (the touch glass) is cracked but still working, but there is a black strip along the crack on the LCD. After replacing the LCD, everything is working fine now.

Hi Tkh,I had the same problem as well. I got 3 black lines across the screen. I wonder how long does it take for them to replaced the lcd screen. At the same day? Thanks.

If nothing else is wrong with your phone except for the touch screen then this kit should fix it. If nothing happens when you touch the screen then it either means you have a software problem or the digitizer is broken. If the phone is under warranty, just take it into the store. If its not under warranty, try taking the battery out, hold the power button for 15 seconds, and then put the battery back in and reboot it. If it doesn't work, try reinstalling the operating system/drivers (if the touch screen doesn't work you will need to plug it in and do it from your computer.) If those don't work, then maybe this kit would help.
