[Q] Keyboard Dock Messing up screen when closed

[jms_uk]

As per title really.. Over the last couple of months, I've noticed a weird "ring" shape appear in the centre of my TF701's display that affects touch input. And it only appears when docked to the keyboard and closed for any length of time (its as if the dock closed position isn't quite right and keys are pressing up into the screen). I've checked my dock and looks and seems to function ok, but I'm a bit concerned that this is a relatively recent thing. I should say that after a few minutes, the display seems to correct itself, but this isn't normal behaviour...

Has anyone noticed or experienced similar?

I've experienced the same thing. I assumed it was because the surface of my tablet wasn't perfectly flat but instead slightly concave. I get the same problem if I put my tablet in a certain case in my backpack without the keyboard dock -- this apparently puts pressure on the screen with the same result.

I've tried putting a thin microfiber cloth between the dock and the screen when closing it, but the problem still occurs. When it happens I don't consider it a big deal though -- after a relieving the pressure, the screen returns to normal in a minute or two. To eliminate the problem I now usually carry the tablet and the dock in separate cases in my backpack, because I don't use the dock most of the time.
