7022 touchscreen no go

[subtotal]

Hey all

Having an issue with my kyros 7022, the touchscreen has decided to stop working (my fault, dropped it).

The bottom inch or so of the screen was responding (but not the rest of it) so I took the back off and tried reseating the ribbon cables that connect to the screen, but now I'm not getting any response from the screen.

Can anyone suggest anything I can try to get this working?

P.S. While I'm not averse to buying a new tablet I really want this up and running by the weekend to use as an ereader (flying out to a work conference).

Edit: The bottom inch of the screen is working again if that makes a difference. Also, factory reset did not resolve the issue.

well, 235 views and not one reply...

I'll probably grab a 7042 when they come out; think anyone in the southern hemisphere would be interested in buying a 7022 with a 'dead' touchscreen?

(Case is a little battered, electronics are fine apart from the touchscreen)

Unfortunately I haven't turned up anything, I believe the touchscreen itself is damaged on my tablet. Which means either replacing the touchscreen or getting a new tablet.

Given that I'm not 100% certain replacing the touchscreen would work I'm looking at getting one of the new ICS coby tablets, I'm only holding off because I'm having trouble picking a size to go for.
