True. I don't see them telling you if it's just used, rather than refurbished, though.

To those saying their touch screen stopped working, try a hard reset. My touch screen stopped working after I installed TouchResponse, and a hardreset was the only way I could fix it.

mmm TouchResponse worked great on my Pro. I got addicted to it--badly... I use it on my Vogue now too... it's so amazing... but the reason I installed it on the Pro, was because the sides of the screen were so damn insensitive, that I wanted to know when it even registered my finger-press...

best app ever.

Are you sure it was TouchResponse? I have never had any issues with it whatsoever.

Best. App. Ever.

This issue is common for resistive touch screens. That rainbow-colored blotch is caused by keeping it too close to a source of radiation such as a tv or computer monitor, or an area with high levels of interference. I have this problem on my Cowon PMP at the office, but goes away when I go home.

I have never heard that before. But I just did some digging on your info, and many people are saying that CRT Monitors/TVs cause temporary screen discoloration due to magnetic fields.

That's really interesting, actually. Especially considering the screen doesn't act like old CRT monitors do when you put a magnet in front of them

Weird. It must be interfering with the LCD controller or something, because LCDs themselves are unaffected by magnets.

I don't get it... I just did more research and everywhere says that LCD's are immune to magnetic interference. But in the case of the iTouch and iPhone, people are getting distortion from having magnets near the devices.

There's some sort of interference that the type of screens mobile devices have are vulnerable to. Because rare-earth magnets have absolutely no effect on my LCD or phone. [I don't want to keep it there for too long, though.]

Perhaps it's the capactive touchscreen? Are they talking about actually getting distorted colors/images--or just inputs?

Distorted colors. The 'rainbow' effect that this thread is about.
