OnePlus Touchscreen Not Working: Simple Fixes You Can Try at Home
Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives and we often get jittery if our device gets faulty. Fixing the phone then takes over the top spot in our priority list.
Of so many common problems that occur in our smartphones, an unresponsive touchscreen is one of the most frequent ones. Your device could face several issues like malfunctioning touchscreen, ghost touch, dead zone, delayed response of the touchscreen or even a broken screen.
In this article, we will guide you on how to troubleshoot the aforementioned touchscreen problems in your OnePlus smartphone.
How to fix your OnePlus smartphone touchscreen issues
Follow the steps below to negotiate the touchscreen issues in your OnePlus smartphone:
Step 1: Check whether the issue is permanent or random.
Step 2: Make sure the temperature where you use your phone is neither too hot nor too cold. The standard working temperature of the capacitive touchscreen is -10℃ to 45℃, and the lowest temperature will cause the touchscreen unresponsive issue.
Step 3. Check if the issue occurs when charging. If yes, try another charger and data cable.
This is because the voltage instability of the charger and data cable may cause the touchscreen unresponsive issue.
Step 4: If you are using a screen protector, try if it works after removing it.
Step 5: Make sure there are no stains such as water or sweat on the touchscreen. If any, wipe the screen and try again.
Things to keep in mind
- Make sure to back up all the data, clear cache and switch to the latest OS version. Users can download the OnePlus Switch app from the Google Play store to backup data easily.
- If a touchscreen issue only occurs while using an individual app, it is recommended to clear the cache and install the app again. This could be an issue due to application incompatibility.
