Lumia 1520 - Red - Great Physcal Condition - Needs Screen Repair

[halflifecrysis]

The device is a easily a 9/10 visually, great battery, really no major scuffs or scratching.

Updated to Windows 10 .63

*BUT* recently it has the phantom touch/ghost touch issue in a bad way. I think someone can fix this. It will randomly open Bing Search and go unresponsive requiring lock unlock of screen to get it back, screen shaking, general demonic possession.

Carrier Locked or Unlocked?: Locked? I think, it boots to ATT screen, but I am sure it can be unlocked (no contract)

Yep, frustrating to have something so near mint with an underlying touch issue. I love the 1520, I have 2 and I just wonder when the other one will go. Boo! ☺

Can you please make an exception and ship to Canada we are technically neighbors

You can fix the phantom touch issue by formatting the device completely using windows recovery tool and then upgrading back to windows 10.. I had to format it twice to fix the issue .. But it worked for me

FWIW, I've shipped to/received from Canada. It's relatively painless, not too different in cost and takes just a little bit longer. Factor in the dog sled speed and there you are. :winktongue:

I guess i said it little too early.. Started facing problems again (phantom touch and search screen opening ) after 2 days of reset

Ammar, check the 1520 forum. There have been some new tries at diagnosing/fixing the issue. Most agree it is hardware related and just needs some nudging.

That should be about the end of derailing this Marketplace thread, yes?
