Don't know if this has been posted yet or not (I went 3 pages back and saw nothing) but the problem with the screen alignment is that there is a sponge pressing against the digitizer.

You'll have to open your device and remove this sponge strip and the screen alignment issue will be gone.

If you have warranty on your device, it is suggested that you get it repaired through your warrant, but if your a DIY person, then go ahead and do it (opening your device will void yoru warranty).

Since i don't have a TyTn myself, i can't do a step by step guide :( but check this link (http://forum.palmislife.com/viewthread.php?tid=69825&highlight=sponge%20strip) out, there are some pictures of the process.

If this process indeed fixed the issue, then it's good to know!

Anyone here has tried it ?

I am still waiting my MDA Vario II !

I have posted elsewhere on this board my solution - which is similar but whilst I removed the gasket I replaced it with a thicker one and firmed up the retaining clips on back of screen. Mine is still fine, but there is a lot of trial and error involved with these solutions. One site I saw was similar to the solution above - a japanese site where he found just taking out the original seal and not replacing it with anything made the problem even worse!

To be honest my personal view is (even though I did my own fix) is get it fixed/replaced under warranty. Slack keyboard maybe a different matter as the fix is rather more certain, but again if you dismantle a device to fix a slack keyboard and you did not have an alignment problem - beware the dismantling may create an alignment problem!!

What is the fix for a slack keyboard? At least half of my keys don't register after the "click".

Sorry when I say slack keyboard I'm not refering to the missing keys or hard press issues but to the loose sliding and clicking into place mechanism of the keyboard.
