Hello there,

I've had several issues with my tf300t that really annoyed me. Well, first off, all of a sudden the touchscreen stopped working. I tried a hard reset, then a cold boot, no success. Then i had it sent to be fixed. After one entire month i got my tf300t back and verified if everything was back to normal. The touchscreen was working properly but after just one hour i noticed that i have ghost touches once again. I know what ghost touches are, i did a lot of research.
I had ghost touches before i had my tf300t sent to be fixed. Is it really a hardware issue? Because theese annoying ghost touches stop everytime after i do a cold boot. Sadly, they come back after a while, mostly after i turn my wifi on. Everything goes haywire.
What should i do? Send it back? The thing is that i rooted my tf300t and this kinda voids my warranty.
Sometimes i even experiment dead zones on my touchscreen. They go away everytime after i do a cold boot but this thing is really starting to piss me off. How did you guys manage to get rid of theese ghost touches?

You could try to update the digitizer firmware. Check out the threads about digitizer replacement. Basically you just need to run the touch_fw_update command. Either with the firmware already installed or download the 4820 version. Could also be a loose cable. Before messing with any cables, turn off your service switch.

I have a nexus5 as well as a TF300T and have noticed on the N5 that when charging you can get ghost images its like the digitizer goes a little mental when charging. It is a known bug (various reports to google) and something they are working on. Could the TF300T have a similar bug?
