    I just got a CF19-KDRL66M off of eBay and the only issue is the touch screen, the lower left side of the touchscreen isn't working (the cursor appears a quarter to a half an inch up and to the right of where I touch the screen) I tried calibrating it with no luck, I can't hit the third crosshair in the lower left of the screen. My question is twofold, I didn't get a digitizer pen with it the unit, so I can't check, but is there a chance the digitizer screen works if the touchscreen doesn't? I don't really want to spend the money to get a pen if the digitizer screen isn't going to work, but if they are two separate systems I'd give it a try... and how difficult is it to get a hold of a replacement dual touch screen (and how expensive) I'm not seeing any on eBay right now.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    digitizer is wacom and touch is fujitsu on mine irc.
    I use the touch a lot and mainly use the digitizer for signing documents and small manipulations. I hardly ever use the trackpad ever. I do use the left mouse button; when I need to click a lot on the same spot.

    I definitely prefer the touch to the digitizer. I tried cleaning under the bezel on all four sides (Spark plug gap shims work great) and it calibrated! However, if I do a shut down and restart it goes back to being off.
