    So my touch bottons; audio, volume control and wi-fi wont respond to my touch anymore. Any advice?
    They do still change color..

    I did notice that the area left to the buttons, next to the power button, is getting really hot, around 60 - 70 celsius maybe.

    Dont know if thats the reason though.

    Try taking battery out, AC out and holding down the power buton for 30 secs to drain out excess capacity.

    SWEET, thanks! That worked.

    Could you explain what happened? Am curious as what caused it.
    And also, if the drainage should be performed on a regular basis?

    thankyou
