Impossible to login, bottom right corner of the touchscreen not responding

[anonymous]

Hello

The bottom right corner of the touchscreen doesn't respond, I cannot enter the password. I highly suspect an hardware defect, I had the same trouble on my very first Pinephone.

Could it be caused by a software problem?

Is there a workaround in the meantime so that I can login? For example, can I force the Pinephone to enable the screen rotation very early? Can I use the dock?

Does someone have some experience on replacing the touchscreen? I will probably do that and if it works on my current Pinephone, I will do the same on my previous Pinephone.

P.S: I can login by using the dock but half of the user interface doesn't appear on the screen and the keyboard starts working correctly only after entering the password. Note that I use full disk encryption.

Try rebooting the Pinephone into recovery mode and checking for software updates. You can also replace the screen if you feel comfortable with hardware repairs.

Which kind of software updates are you talking about? I'm under Mobian Trixie, I'm already up to date.

Yes, I will try replacing the screen but I fear that it will die in two years once again.
