Hi Folks,
One thing to try on unresponsive touch screens.
Sometimes debris gets lodged under the edges
of the touchscreen, between the plastic bezel
and the glass, such that it is pushing on the
screen and therefore the screen either responds
sporatically or not at all.
Take a business card and stick the corner of the
card between the bezel and the glass screen.
Now run the corner of the card all the way around
the 4 edges of the screen a few times and see
if you get any "debris" out of it and then try
the calibration again. Sometimes this helps.
Also, when calibrating, are you using something
with a fine point and being very precise? Like
a pda stylus?

Dave, have you been lucky enough not to see this problem? It is real, and definitely more than debris (I do appreciate the idea though - and I tried it without success).
I'm convinced that the failure to calibrate and non-responsive touchscreen are symptoms of the same problem. The touchscreen still reacts to touch (b/c the backlight comes on) but it is not processing those touches correctly. It is a progressive disease, with the remote becoming more and more dysfunctional over time (mine started this behavior a year ago, and is now becoming completely unusable).
I'm so frustrated b/c I poured so many hours into my pcf, and really was completely satisfied with this remote until this problem.
