My screen alignment is way way messed up, to the point where its really difficult to use my pocket pc.

I have aligned the screen so many times but its only aligned for a couple of seconds. the tap will be acurate. then all of a sudden it gets all messed up and when you try to tap an "A" for instance it will tap a "G" and its not just that when i try scrolling it dosent scroll smooth its all shaky as if there were an earthquake in my device. I tried to write on the notes and my lines were all messed up they werent straight it was impossible to write. the lines were all squigly.

Whats going on here? I didnt do anything wrong to it. One day I open my ppc to type in the password and the screen was all off. Help is greatly appreciated.

Your digitalizer may be messed up. The digitalizer is the clear plasic layer over the screen that senses the taps and tells the PPC where you tapped the screen. This was the reason my old Palm Zire 31 died. I was digging dirt out from beneath the edge of the screen with an implement not intended for such work and i scratched the digitalizer. However, not all cases are so drastic. You may just have some dirt stuck under the edge of the screen in which case you should simply run a business card or something non-sharp and digitalizer safe, along the crack between the screen and the case.

If however you do find that the problem is more severe, a new digitalizer should run you less than a new PPC.

Just a thought, are you using a screen protector?
If so try removing it.:approve:

If not maybe try a Hard reset
