I got one months ago and didnt work either. actually, right this afternoon I took it to another technician in hopes of getting it working, as is, the old roginal touch, which was whacked out of control, still works better than this generic thing. the seller would not help me out either. terrible.

As stated by others, I had this same result. I used a gentle swab and cleaned the contact points and reset the ribbon and no issues since.

No, but the ribbon needs good contact. It took three reseatings of the ribbon to get mine to work. Now all is good. Just undo the ribbon and put in snug. Or I should say digitizer ribbon.

This happened to me too when I first installed the digitizer. The problem was that the cable on the digitizer wasn't inserted properly into the connector on motherboard. The trick is to lift up on tab on the connector on the other side from where the cable goes in and then insert the cable as far as it will go. Once the cable is in, just push the connector tab back down again. If you don't lift up the tab first, the cable won't insert far enough to make the connection. I hope that this helps you out.

try reseating the digitizer cable. other than that i guess try updating the firmware. i saw some reports that the digitizer failed after replacement but it worked fine for me

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. If nothing else is wrong with your phone except for the touch screen then this kit should fix it.

I also, get a blank screen? I was going to send it back, but I wasn't sure if it was something I wasn't doing

I had this happen once. One of the ribbon connectors in the middle of the motherboard got folded under the MB when you put it back in. Check and see if there is a connector under the board. It is small and is the one that controls the touch on the digitizer.

Can't help yet. Ours has not yet been installed. Will respond when it gets in and I hope you get an answer before that happens. Not sure you can really do that with no internet connection.

the screen activates just getting close to it with hands. I always made a little pressure when touching the incons on the screen; I'm not sure if they work just touching w/o pressure. I check tomorrow and will let u know.

I didn't have to activate anything for my touch screen. I'm wondering if something is wrong with yours. I would call Dell support and then maybe you need to send it back.

If the touch screen and the home button work and the back and menu buttons do not, this should fix your problem. This will only fix the back and menu buttons. Test the touch screen because you may have bigher problems.

I just installed it yesterday, and it seems to be working great so far...I think my computer is even a little faster now. All the touch stuff seems to work...but you have to install a windows update before you can use the touchscreen. One thing to know is that all the Touchsmart applications get removed during the upgrade, which I didn't care about, but you or others might.

U need to check if the problem is the screen or the sensor. This is the sensor itself. So i think if your phone doesnt respond you will be fine with this one.

same on mine. I just installed mine, setting up the master code/user codes as directed, and it did respond as the manual. but no code work at all. can't open the door at all.

hello ,if only the digitizer (touch panel). you don't need anything else but if lcd panel is broken as well ,you may need to buy a replacement for it ..Good luck

No it will not help if it will not respond to touch. You need to order the screen with a digitizer.
