Do I curse every touch screen I... touch?

Post by Super Cameraman »

It seems that every touch screen I have (DS lite and Pocket PC) I somehow broke... My pocket PC's screen's colors are really messed up, and the touch screen stops working unless I hit it really hard. My DS's screen, not only has a dead pixel, but no matter what I do, I can not calibrate it! It's always off! And no, when I'm not even touching it, it randomly makes a little dot (On a drawing app I have) near the side of the screen, and if I'm drawing when this happens, it will make a big line! Is there any way to fix this, and or will Nintendo fix my DS for free? Has anything like this happened to you?

I swear, I'll never buy another touch screen in my life!

Just don't touch it and you'll be fine. :wink:
If you really hate your Pocket PC, I'll trade you my OC'd GBC for it. :D (really, I will)

Both seem to have the sides of the case squeezing the touchscreen. A quick disassembly and unbending of the case should fix them. Less than a millimeter of bend is likely the culprit.

The only problem with the DS is the stupid Nintendo screws!

Vskid... Don't sell that Gameboy... I may want it. The only problem is that I don't have any games...
