Follow up on this and maybe a question. I have noticed that there is actually some very subtle/slight touchscreen deformation at the place where the touchscreen is less responsive. I can see it very clearly if I hold the screen where there is a reflection of something straight and lined (like blinds). The deformation shows up as bending of the reflection of the lines around the damaged area. I'm not sure if this damage is the *cause* of the reduced responsiveness or a side effect from that area being pressed harder to make the touchscreen respond there. But, assuming for a moment that it is the cause, would your guess be separation or contact? It certainly appears to be an indentation. I've read that resistive touch screens that have indentations can sometimes be repaired by applying a low heat to the surface (as by a heat gun on a low setting), causing the plastic to lift...anyone have any success with such a thing on one of these?
Try also reaching out on those handheld reddit groups, maybe someone also knows something there? Don't know if this helps
