I have been reading the posts on here for awhile now (Great site btw) about problems with the touch screen. I have seen a few answers to this problem.

1. Dust or the screen protector under the frame. Run a business card between the frame and the touch screen.
2. The mylar cable being nicked that connects the touch screen to the main board so you put tape over it.
3. Replace the touch screen.

I have tried the first solution and this was not my problem. I have checked for the second and was unable to find a single thing wrong with the cable. (I looked at this under a magnifying glass to be sure) To be on the safe side I put tape over the cable anyway. I am debating on the last one.

But doesn't anyone find it strange that the problem almost always occurs just after the warranty is up not a couple of years later? Isn't it also strange that the problem is exactly identical not similiar but identical. i.e. "I hit the okay button and the keyboard pops up". My own X5 did it just 18 days after the warranty was up. Everyone makes that joke about things breaking right after the warranty expires this hits a little too close to the mark.

I wonder just how many have experienced this problem and how close to the end of their warranty. I would like to know. If you have not had this problem please don't post. If you know of another fix other than the ones listed above please be so kind as to either post it here or direct me to where the solution is at.

Thanks in advance.
