guess this is hardware specific. i´ve tried a hardreset now,
but still doesnt work any advice?

Sounds like a ribbon cable has come loose to the touch screen - send it back if it is under warranty, if not,
Mike Channon has collected links to the service manuals somewhere on here which should show you how
to correctly take it apart, fix it and put it back together again
Cheers,

I had the same problem. In my device it was: cable that goes to touch screen contacted metal on back
panel.
I've solve it by finding manual to take my niki apart
(http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_touch_dual/ - but it is in russian). I've done everything till
6 point. Then I put my v-card between this cable and metal. Now it's ok

You ROCK! I had this exact same problem happen on my NIKI100 after I put Tom's Niki Project ROM on &
immediately blamed it but after flashin back to stock the problem still occured & I was really bummin! I
found this thread, tore my NIKI apart to step 6 as you described & I could see the spots on the metal of
the inside back of the back cover where the cable was rubbing along with the protective plastic worn off
on the cable a little bit so I suspect it was touching the metal & shorting out causing the problem (heck
I'm surprised it didn't do some real damage!) so I cut about a 1" length of electrical tape & taped it to the
area of the metal that it was rubbing on (I didn't see any legit reason for anything to make contact to
that area for a ground so I figured it was OK. I started at the edge & ended just before the gaps where
you would be able to see the tape from the other side in the battery cavity) and VOILA! it fixed it! To
me it looks like a nasty design flaw on HTC's part but not expecting a recall any time soon. I suspect this
fix will out last the phone & hopefully this thread will help others. I am 1/2 tempted to tear apart my NEON
to see if the same design exists or if they put a piece of tape in that area.

well i got the same problem as u have/had... But i also need to align my phone like ten times a day,
because its always out of alignment... I think i got to get back to the phoneshop to fix(replace) my phone.
I do have the touch dual for 6 months now.

Hm, same problem here. Thought first that it was an error of the ROM that I used..
Btw: isolated every contat that I could find (nearly ) but no result -> still my touchscreen doesn't work
when my slide is open..
EDIT: has anyone PHOTO'S of their disassembly and isolation work? I the problem is different on my device
'cuz the cable hasn't worn off...

Ok,

Now I took my device apart to the last piece, took the display cable apart, taped it in completely and my
touchscreen WORKS once again :-D.
Woot! Thumbs up for XDA-developers!

I have had the same problem with my touch screen except mine stopped working completely, it didn't
matter if it was slide out or not. I could get the phone replaced on warranty though.

Just posting so people know this isn't just isolated case.
