Thread: touch screen not going to the edge

Have you tried using the calibration program? I have definitely heard of others with similar experiences, but I never had this problem. I also NEVER had to calibrate, so sounds like bad news...
Good luck.

yeah i have tried calibrating many times.. but it doesnt do anything..
this is what it sorta looks like
the right hand side goes in even when im pressign the edge of the screen.. more so towards the center
(sorry for the dodge pic.. but u'll get the picture.)

Yup you have a bad touch overlay, that is the normal problem that happens to them.

grrrr whats this caused by? to much pressure ont he screen edge or oever heat ??
is it easy to change??

Actually I think it's combination of UV and heat that causes the plastic to separate from the glass substrate. I hear that the newer touch overlays don't have this problem. Other than that I dont know, I have had the same touch overlay now for the last 2 years so maybe it was just a huge batch of bad ones.


Yes it's very easy to change, all you do is cut the tape holding the old overlay on, then tape on the new one.

what do u mean by new ? my screens only been used for less than a month
or u mean new. as in the replace ones u can buy??

Wow, so I guess the newer ones still have the problem, that sucks. Maybe send a e-mail to the person you purchased it from, maybe they can get you a new touch overlay under warranty
