Touchscreen unresponsive

[tjdalton]

so I've been running cm9 on my touchpad for about 2 weeks now with pretty much no issue. I was using it just this morning with no problems. I just went to grab it and the touchscreen is not responding to any touches. the screen will turn on with the power button, I was able to bypass the lock screen by pressing the power button and the home button but nothing is responding on the screen.

So I figured a reboot might just do the trick but therein lies another problem. I can bring up the reboot menu by holding down the power button but I can't choose the restart option without touching the screen (which doesn't work)

is there any way to restart the touchpad without touching the screen? any combination of the physical buttons ?

help!

Thanks in advance


EDIT:
NVM---- and that fast I figured out that the power button and volume up worked.

Ive had the same issue a few times. I found that if I waited a few minutes it came back. On one occasion I had a call come in and I couldn't even answer the call because my screen was unresponsive. I've only had to yank the battery once to get it to come back.
