Dying touchscreen?

[k/aru]

Recently my P3's upper right quarter of the touchscreen has stopped responding. I've reset and re-updated the firmware but the problem still persists. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Or is there recomendations on what to do?

Yes
but i don´t know what to do. I have no problem with that.....

my p3's whole touch screen has died, it's hardware failiour, not software. i assume either:
# a thin film of sensors on the surface has rubbed away (highly unlikely as noticable flaking would show)
# the sensor chip uses mosfet sensor inputs/recievers (likely, for energy saving purposes) and every time the touch screen is used, it slowly dies from static shock, then completely fails.

mine is out of warranty, and i cant find an e-mail address to quote a price on a new sensor panel.

I have the same problem, about three months ago i dropped mine from my nightstand. Now i had dropped it from my car's window (not moving) i was replacing some home theater speakers, dropped it from there, no problem. but this time when it landed, it did so screen down, got a nice crack in the upper right corner. Had absolutely no problems at all for about a month and then all of a sudden certain areas of the sudoku screen wouldn't respond unless i pressed extra hard, was no longer able to access the microphone, which i could sorta live without. but as soon as i lost radio i was done. My p3 is still within warranty so i called up samsung yesterday, they e-mailed me a ups shipping tag and asked me to find a suitable package for shipping, im sending it today.

I'm scared...I can't claim any warranty since I live in Australia and bought it in Hong Kong I've dropped it about 3 or 4 times...in 4 months. Not big drops though, but I treat it with extra care haha

...But you dropped it? Hence your fault?

Only choice left is to send it back on the warrenty, OP. Hope it gets fixed!
