I am in a similar boat. I replaced my digitizer twice now because of a dead zone. Now I have a working screen, but can only get two touch points to work and ICSROM does not initialize the touchpad properly and touchscreen is dead. Tried the PDS partition fix but no help.

I suspect from other readings that the front flex cable harness is slightly damaged and ordered one here. They are pretty cheap now for most Atrix 4G parts...

Now I am afraid to try swapping this cable out and damaging the phone even more. Its usable for me with GB/CM7 ROMs and two finger multi-touch!

i have replaced that cable myself to try and fix my earpice (with no sucsess at all tbh)
i have used OEM first then a orig one both off ebay but still have that dead zone :)
so i dont think it is to do with the flex.

but sayin that i have absolutly zero clue what it could be atm i would jus love the screen to wotk i can
live with no earpice i have blutooth by the dozen :)
