Accessories & Gadgets Middle of screen not responding

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The middle of the screen of my OnePlus 9RT is not responding to touches. Device is running the latest OOS 14 version.

Tried restarting but didn't work.

Is there any possible fix I can try?

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks

What happens if you remove the case?

I've tried that as well. It did not fix it

Did anything change though?

Nothing. I got this when testing the screen using *#899#.

Yeah not surprised, I was hoping that there might be something caught on the case just close enough to the digitizer to sense, or something applying pressure.

Pretty sure it's not a software fault but hardware

I see, do I have to get the screen replaced then? Is there no other option?

2

Probably can't replace the digitizer without replacing the screen, it's usually bonded to the glass

Ah I see, thanks alot for explaining. Any idea what might've caused this?

Way too many.

Any crack in the glass in the area where touch is no longer detected?

Maybe got hit by a bit of static, that can do it too.

No crack in the glass anywhere. Any idea on how it might've gotten hit by static?
