Help Touchscreen stopped working

[Jeffery]

The touchscreen on my touchpad stopped working. HP is sending me a box to get it fixed. I ran ACMEUninstaller to get rid of Android and then WebOS Doctor, but how do I delete the Lost Dir. folder etc. to make sure everything is wiped?

I can get the Touchpad into the USB logo screen, but it doesn't appear on my computer when I plug it in.

Do you mean the sdcard?

You might need to wipe the sdcard partition via adb.

Sorry, I'm not fluent in adb.

Thanks, I will do some searches to figure it out... when I do I will post the commands.

I DO know this much...

Open command window...
adb devices

After that it gets foggy.

How to erase your touchpad USB drive:

First put the device into recovery mode, then memboot the device using the installer uImage (extracted from your webOS Doctor jar):
novacom boot mem:// < nova-installer-image-topaz.uImage

After it boots, run novaterm:
novaterm

Once connected to the device, type:
lvm.static vgscan --ignorelockingfailure
lvm.static vgchange -ay --ignorelockingfailure

then type:
mkdosfs -f 1 -s 64 /dev/store/media

Once that completes, put the device back into recovery mode and run the webOS Doctor.

Cool. You all set now?

Yes, it's on it's way back to HP.

I'd be interested in how it works out for you (having had Android on it at one time).

I just received my replacement :driver:

Was it much work? Any hurdles?

Nope, the only trouble was figuring out how to wipe via command line.

I was reading on Rootzwiki last night where someone's TP wouldn't charge and he had to return it to HP for repair. They refused warranty and wanted to charge $265, b/c they found it had Android on it.

Well, then I am really glad that I took the time to completely format the disk with the computer!

 

[colchiro]

Me too.
