Mad Screen Problems...

Okay... I'm sitting at work playing a game on my week old AX, and I remembered I had an email to write. SO, I shut down my Ax, and in the process it freezes up... I did a soft reset, and all started up as normal. HOWEVER, after the reset (mind you, it could have happened before the reset, I just didn't do anything that would have made me notice), I cannot draw a straight line on the screen.

I tried using the transcriber... and everytime the stylus touched the screen, it would go all over the place within a half a centimeter of where the stylus actually was in contact with the screen... This only happened in certain areas of the screen.

So, I opened up a new note, and tried drawing straight lines all over the screen... to no avail ...

I guess I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and knows of an easy fix? I'm going to call Dell when I get up tomorrow... I just figured since it's 2am, this might be the best place to ask

Thanks in advance...

did you lift up your screen protector

your screen protector or something is pressing down on the screen somewhere. I had simular problems . till on the forums here or on the dell community forum. someone mentioned this. so now I use a bussiness card to lift up on the screen protector when it screen gets a little flaky. Now its as sensitive as ever.


Reminds me of when I sent my mouse back, before I learned how to remove the ball and clean the rollers. back in 1989
I'm not good at a lot of things.
I should do less and be better.

Yup, tried recalibrating several times... No screen protectors on it yet... I also tried checking between the frame of the screen and the screen... no visible obstructions...

I donno... I've tried everything I can think of...

Nevermind, I guess I'm a bonehead I cleaned out from under the frame around the screen with a folded over piece of paper... got a lot of dust out, and the screen now seems to be working fine

Okay... I'm gonna go ack to playing with my Ax now Thanks y'all
