Digitizer Dead Spots related to Software?

[Mickets]

Hello,

I had my digitizer replaced, but only one month later, the new one already has blind spots. SO I began to associate the events with new software installed:

1) Digitizer was fine for one year, but had a bit of MDS (un-calibrating digitizer).

2) Installed PowerDigi. Solved! Bought PowerDigi.

3) Due to LCD whine, purchased WarpSpeed. Great!

4) Soon after, purchased UDMH, for more RAM for PalmPDF. Great!

5) Same week: dead spots appearing and spreading.

6) Unbearable: had digitizer replaced.

7) Restored everything as before (thanks, NVBackup!).

8) One month later: dead spots appearing again.

I don't know if the MDS is happening also, since I am using PowerDigi. And I'm not going to hard reset, because the last time I did I coul not even access the Palm anymore to restore a backup.

I was wondering: could the over/under clocking, or whatever WarpSpeed does about the whine, cause dead spots to appear? Could the hardware somehow being forced or something? Or maybe by some hack or something?

I'm no way blaming these great apps, but I'm just wondering, since it's a big coincidence.

And strange, twice in two days, I opened my Palm and found it stuck on, with a very bright screen, whining. Reset solved it, but what could be the cause?

Cheers,

Mickets

did you try a zero-out reset and then use the device for some days without 3rd party softwares?

I've been using WarpSpeed for over/underclocking since about the first week I bought my TX (~18 months ago) I do not have screen whine so I don't use that feature. I can tell you that I have no digitizer problems related to the over/under clocking of my device (knock on wood ;-) ).

Yes, maybe it has to do with my digitizer. My Palm was made in China (but purchased in the US). I heard something about the Chinese Palm digitizers.

Palm's guarantee here in Brazil doesn't cover non-Brazilian Palms. So I went to the extra-official Palm repair (which is better than the official one... but not free).

I thought of buying a glass digitizer, but the repair person said that for every damaged plastic digitizer, he receives FIVE glass ones broken/cracked due to falls, etc.

So I had them put in a regular plastic one, provided by Palm. But here I am with the dead spots again.


I don't want to do a zero-out reset. I fear that the digitizer has MDS and I don't know, since I use PowerDigi. If there is MDS, then I can't even access the Palm again, because I won't be able to calibrate it, and can't restore from NVBackup.

Thanks.
