My prophet is kinda crazy with the touchscreen. It needs to be calibrated every minute. almost every time i need to use it. I have cleaned it very well. Also the dust under the case but it still has the problem. I am now convinced that the digitizer is the problem. I can get it for a reasonable price. I know how to disassemble the prophet, but when you have the screen (the whole lcd) in your hand. How do you take the digitizer apart? How do you install the new one? Can somebody help me or give me another advise to rescue my old digitizer!

i just changed my digitizer yesterday..
it's pretty scary because you have to cut the top layer off..
this layer is a touch mask and a glass..
so when you cut it of form the sides the glass brakes..
then you have to cut loos the digitizer's connector, stick the new digitizer on and solder the connector back on..
it's realy scary to do but with me it worked, just lay everything you took apart in the right order so you can put the pieces back properly..

i got my digitizer from ebay, it game with screwdriver, digitizer, case opener and a protection film..

oh yeah, and a little piece of cloth to clean your screen ^^

good luck!

The parts are also available (cheaper) here:

Removing the touchscreen from the LCD is a delicate operation, because you run the risk of cracking the LCD.

To remove the touchscreen, you should use a very thin piece of fishing line. Wrap each end around your index fingers (like you would with dental floss) and wedge the line between the touchscreen and LCD. Move the line from side to side and it will cut the touchscreen free.
