I had given up on mine, but Roger is making me interested again.
I still believe I have some kind of a software problem rather than a physical problem due to the fact that I can wake my PDA from hibernation via the touch screen. I have repeatedly replaced the cables and am confident that they are seated correctly.
Also, interestingly, Roger seems to be saying that he experienced this problem after replacing his main battery instead of the backup battery as I did. I assume his problems with Active-sync are unreleated.
I am wondering if it would be of any use to reinstall the ROM? If I understand correctly that is acheived through active-sync and do not need to have actual access on the PDA screen. I am hoping this might realign whatever stars are causing interfearence with my touch screen

I wish there was a way to reformat the entire thing in a manner similar to a PCs HDD and reinsall everything.
