my phone is really killing me. the touch screen has been unresponsive since saturday and i've soft reset and hard reset and it just doesn't work.

the only way it works is if i leave it off all night and then when i turn it on in the morning it will work for enough time to just turn it on but then it becomes unresponsive again.

my question is can i force a rom onto the phone. what are my options, how can i fix this???

I hard reset fixed a similar issue for me.

does active sync recognize it? otherwise you could always hold the power, camera and reset button in all at once and that will take you to the bootloader screen, from which you should be able to flash any rom on the upgrades thread... otherwise you could try a hard reset by holding the green and red buttons and the reset button for a few seconds, then follow the onscreen directions.. NOTE: all of these methods will cause all of your personal data to be lost (ie contacts, appointments, personal files, and anything else not saved onto your storage card)!
