Malfunctioning Dell Axim Touch Screen?

Question

The touch screen on my friends Dell Axim is not responding to touch on the screen. You can switch between screens using the keys at the bottom of the unit but the screen only gives you the start menu pull down when you touch anything. If the screen is down, a second touch closes the menu.

This is all you can do as there is no apparent way to do anything else. Is this a dead touch screen or missing files?

Answer 1

There may be something pressing on the screen... if your friend has a screen saver, remove it.  Sometimes they get under the edge of the screen and interfere with the opteration.

Then with a thin card, clean out the edge of the screen on all sides to get rid of any dust or debris.

Hope this helps!

Cheers
