Sony P900

Hey guys,

I got this big problem with my p900. When i click at a certain point on the the actual action takes place below about 5-10 mm down on the touch screen. The problem has gone from bad to worse and now i cannot even lock the phone as its not accepting clicks at that point.

How can i get this rectified? I've once unlocked a t610 using the usb dongle. Would i need to use it again to flash and re-write the complete os in the mobile?

Or is it simply a problem that will not be rectified?

Thnx
Terry

    I'm guessing:

    - recalibrate screen somehow
    - make sure screen isn't rubbing the side (ned T4 torx screwdriver)
    Order of events: Banks lose our money -> get bailed out -> were inflating GBP to cover it -> now taxing us -> next will grab your funds direct -> things get really desperate to balance the books. What should have happened?: banks go bust and we lost our money much quicker

    don't know, I haven't got one.

    maybe control panel > display > calibrate?

    To Calabrate the p900 screen you need to go to:

    Control Panel > Device Tab > Click Display > Click Screen tab > Then Calabrate screen button appears.

    Hope this helps

    Happened to mine as well. I just reinstalled the OS from the Sony Ericsson site. Fixed it a treat.

    Hi Beninio88,

    I tried to reset the screen calib to factory settings. But the problem gets worse than a doing a manual calibration.

    Thnx
