Hardware > Touch Screen, massive problem

#113095 - chuckstudios - Sat Dec 23, 2006 12:37 am

OK, something really weird happened to my touch screen on my DS Phat. Any touch I make on it is ignored and instead touches around this point: http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/2427/touch2ew8.png

I've tried running the calibration tool in the firmware to no avail. Any ideas?

My guess is that there's something already touching the screen, so when you touch it, it registers a touch at the midpoint of the two contact points.

Check the edges of your DS to make sure there's no debris between the casing and the touchscreen.

Already have. Hell, I ripped the thing open (tri-wing screwdrivers ftw) and had the screen just by itself and it was still doing it.

Try sending it Nintendo for a repair.
