Hi there.

My initial request was basen on the personal experience backed up by similar
reports by various forums' users.

I saw screen with not working area - roughly 1 centimeter from the bottom.
Twice. I also saw screen where touching is shifted with few centimeters up,
or down. I am not saying its a hardware problem. It could be software one,
in which cases the touchscreen calibration COULD help, no?

Regards,
Dako
