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.
I experienced the same problem on a brand new unit ater 30 minutes use. Is this a record?
