Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

it sounds like the unit has been dropped and has cracked on the inside of the screen. we see this a lot with mobile phones. you may need to have the internal screen replaced.

Although the problem is not fixable without replacing the entire LCD touch screen, you may still be able to get a replacement through the warranty program. It never hurts to ask and you may be surprised. Many companies want their customers happy and they may replace your unit for you. You might have to "forget" to mention that the damage was your fault. But trying to do the repairs yourself will definitely void the warranty.

Unfortunatly there is a fine wire Grid below the surface of the glass, the grid detects where you are touching on the screen, with the glass being broken, the grid is broken, which will cause dead spots or regions on the touch screen. You will have to replace the Touch screen or the unit which ever is most cost effective.

Hope this is of some help.
