XV6700 Allignment Issue! Please help!

Ok I just got this thing off of eBay and of course I loved it, but the alignment was off. So then I tried align screen and all it would do is loop!

So I took to searching the net and noticed most forum posts said reset would work. What they failed to say is that if it doesnt fix it that youll be stuck at the alignment screen for good!

So what is wrong? Why is it doing this? Is it software or hardware? Most importantly... How do I fix it? Is there a way I can bypass (welcome.not)?

Also, the only time my computer even responds to the phone at all is when I do a hard or soft reset, and all that does is show a pop up baloon saying the device has malfunctined and Windows doesnt know what the device is! Is it because I havent gotten past initial configuration? Or is this thing a really expensive brick?

Get it replaced. I had the same problem. I bought a used xv6700 on ebay. Charged it up and found that I couldn't get past the alignment screen. I tried everything from upgrading to Oemizer's pre- calibartion option which made the screen unusable. If i tried to calibrate the screen it would loop again.

Message the seller and ask for a refund. I was fortunate enough to have a good seller refund me and everything was extremely smooth.

The seller was very good and truthful, said: wont pass screen alignment but it is still functional. -- Which was true. I just wasnt familiar with the OS, didnt know Id be stuck in a loop. Well, anyway, no refund here.

Def clean. I does seem like there were dead spot (when it was working). But now there are no dead spots...?
Im thinking digitizer? I have quite a bit of experience soldering, but how hard would it be to replace?
And is this the reason my computer wont recongnize anything is there?
