I guess I'm afraid you may go out and buy a digitizer just to find out it doesn't fix the problem, and be out $50. Although it may be worth the risk.

Have you tried going back to stock ROM? Also, have you had the phone for less than a year? Maybe it's under warranty.

Ya, I'm not sure if it is the digitizer either, since the phone does respond to wherever I touch on the screen. and sadly, it's like my 4th refurbished phone, and i've had the phone for around a year and a half. getting them to replace my old tp with this one was a pain, so I don't want to go through that again haha. I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM because the screen goes haywire even on the splash screen and the tricolor screen.

So, I opened up the phone, but what I found inside looked nothing like what was in the manual haha, probably because mine is CDMA and the manual was for GSM. Does anyone have a CDMA manual?

i did a search on google for a touch pro teardown and it gave me almost step by step (sorta) i was able to get it completely apart in about ten minutes of prying and cursing. just be careful of what you're doing, sprint doesn't like it when we tool around inside these things.

imho it looks to be a poorly seated connector cable. i would just take it to a sprint store and see what they can do, you said you have had it replaced with refurbs... does that mean you have tep? if so, take advantage and use it for what it's meant for. if you don't have tep, then just take it apart... there's a bunch of screws and delicate cable connections though.

No I don't have tep, the phone came with 1 year warranty, and after that I was just lucky. can you direct me to a link? I went to ifixit.com, but they didn't really have any steps. When I did open it, i was in the part that had the connection that controls the vibrator, I figured this out because I forgot to make sure it was connected properly before I put it back together.

EDIT: nevermind, I figured out how to get to the screen.

All of the PCB and screen connections seemed to be in fine.
