I had something similar to yours . My display would skip the touches when I touch it in a particular part (just below the centre of the display) but it only happens with the stock Sony firmwares. Sony is infamous for these buggy firmwares. If you still have warranty and your Bootloader is untouched you can repair your phone's firmware using seus and take it to the Sony service. And don't worry about the rooting thing, once you repair using seus you will lose root and the phone's firmware will be brand new. I think there is no way that the service centre guys can find out about you rooting the phone once you repair it using seus.

Press thanks if I helped you!

Yes it helped very much, but the problem is that my butloader is unlocked , is there a way of relocking it somehow ?

Ya you can relock the bootloader. Just reflash your stock firmware and relock the bootloader. this might help.

i should get it replaced from service centre or from local markets or get touchscreen part from ebay and replace it myself

Service centre will cost you 4-6K .... Local market will cost you 1.8-2.2K ...Replacing yourself will cost you 1.0-1.6K depending on touchscreen used...Do whatever you want...No guarantee in all three cases
