...I'm no Program Writer...just a User of Computer...can't script...prefer to give ideas not complain...as for the Insert SIM Card (3 ways; Get One, Simulate It or Boot-Skip Check)...I only can do one...Programmers can do 3

Not really sure what you mean here.

You bought a Vivaz Pro a few days ago and the SIM and touchscreen doesn't work?

Regarding the lack of spare parts it's most likely due to this phone being over 3 years old and the service center can't keep spare parts for all phones for all eternity.

I'm talking about an idea for software to work with a hardware problem

If I can use my arrow keys as a mouse for my cellphone like my Laptop with Windows MouseKeys then the problem can dealt with...(My D800 laptop doesn't have touchscreen capability or a working touchpad mouse)

I've read other threads and it seems everytime they fix it it breaks (burnsout) after a few months...that problem sounds like a Design Flaw or something connected to the touchscreen that is very hard to repair/modify so why bother get another touchscreen
