    I have a problem with my "new to me" CF-30's touchscreen.

    I've noticed that on the left side it's always about 3'8" off to the right.

    It improves as it sweeps right, conversely worsens as it sweeps to the left.

    I've performed multiple calibrations but nothing seems to be helping.

    I'm using a CF-28 stylus, but I don't think that matters.

    This is what I see (x marks the spot) at the three calibration points on the left side of the screen.

    Is there any thing I can do?

    Thanks

    Were you using the mouse???

    Funk under the bezel can cause erratic results as the detritus collects/shifts around
    and I have fat sausage fingers: I need to be careful about what part of my finger is actually engaging the screen (nail vs skin vs what area of my fingertip)

    anyway, glad to hear it cleared up!

    FYI, the 30mk1 and some 2's had the same touchscreen issue as the cf-29 and cf-18

    You can use some compressed air between the bezel and the Touchpanel. This way any debris can get blown out and you can eliminate the possibility of debris causing the deviation.
