Sporadic unresponsive touchscreen

[Guest YoDJMC]

The touchscreen starts to become unresponsive in certain regions. It started yesterday after 4 weeks of no problems and no new apps have been added in the last week or so, and no knocks to the device. Firstly I spotted it on all the menu buttons across the top of the home screen, but then latterly in other apps. In MixZing it would stop skipping forward but OK going back, and the playlist button in the top right stopped responding. Its intermittent - sometimes staying that way until either powering down or occassionally just a lock/unlock cleared it up.

E.g. the keyboard and menu bar across the top becomes unresponsive, rather like explorer in windows, but the app behind continued to zoom and respond to taps, and even on the home screen when the top two rows of icons appeared to respond to taps and draggiong about the screen the bottom ones didn't, but I could still scroll between the home screens if I used the area where tapping was responsive

At first I thought it was a software problem, however when I tried the hard reset into the Touchpanel Recalibration it still happened, and interestingly appeared to affect a border around the screen, perhaps 1.5cm or so thick. This meant that the *,0,#,9,6,3 and FastUSB tab did not respond, but the other buttons did. I would have though that this would imply a hardware problem.

Anyone else had this problem?

I started having the same problem this morning after 2 months of 0 problems... tried uninstalling the most recent apps to no avail, took me a bout 20-30 goes to unlock the screen as it wouldn't respond to my code... :(

I had recently installed juice defender and Yf - uninstalled but no change... looking at OS Monitor gives no clues also...
