I have an Asus C100P Flip bought secondhand with knowledge of its shortcoming: the left 1.5" (40mm) of the touchscreen is dead. This doesn't matter if I use a mouse but is getting more and more irritating when my fingers thoughtlessly stray onto screen. Now I hope to sort it out or, rather, to get some fresh ideas about sorting it.

I have gone the Powerwash route to no effect. Cleaning the screen was the first thing I did, of course. I suspect that this is a hardware problem but am nervous about opening such miniaturised hardware. Have you any good, easier hacks in mind? Is opening this baby going to end in tears?

Wow! Asus is supposed to be a reliable brand to buy. Maybe the mistake was in the Chinese cheap hand factory that it was made. It's a classic one. The problem with making your products in China is the qualified labor you get to cut down on expenses. One thing I like about https://nonotmadeinchina.com is the way they promote American products, which are definitely much higher in quality, and I trust them without second thoughts. I wish more companies would take the product out of China and bring it back home to have fewer exploding phones being sold.
