UPDATE: Some users have found relief to the problem by a new method outlined in the last few posts....

Seems like a bunch of us are in the same boat.

Like many of you, after only a month or so of use, my x50v digitizer is whacked out.

Edit: Cleaning under the bezel with a post-in note (sticky material helps?) finally fixed it. Waiting for the problem to return... kind of hope it does, kind of hope it doesn't.

Started happening about a week ago. A quick re-alignment, and it was better. Now that doesn't fix it anymore. It gets stuck in the 'Align Screen' mode (after 10+ attempts). Used screen protectors since Day One. Currently have a Brando and I'm about to take it off.

Suggested solutions:

Run credit card around edge (under bezel) to clean out dust
Press to right of power button to see if it helps
(last resort) call Dell for a replacement

Quick Test to "Prove" You're not Going Insane:

Open up a drawing program and draw a straight line. There have been some "heart chart looking" results. Or a new Note and use Transcriber.
