Bottom touch screen issue

[miabi]

Noticed a weird problem where the bottom left of the touch screen is like a deadzone. I need to go to the far left to hit things in the area and if it's in the far left, I can't hit it at all. Is there any way to fix this?

Tried doing the re-syncing or whatever with the touch screen, but nothing

Hmm. Sounds like a bad screen if you calibrated it and it still doesn't work right. Was it always that way or did it just start doing it recently? Did you have your 3DS modded or buy it new? I have some spare parts, I could swap the screen out with another one.

Well, I've been watching it for my friend while she was gone (mentioned it to me before she left so I would know why it's acting up) away for work. It actually worked fine upon first getting it so it is somewhat new--maybe a couple of weeks old? She's had it for a little over a month now.

Here's a quick video of her using it to show what happens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ySI0IVkiE

Bought it new (as her old one broke--the charge port died). She's Sakuri on here. It's useable for the most part (just, as shown, you need to hold it over really far and anything close to the screen will act up), but she plays a lot of puzzle games (and plans to play Animal Crossing constantly) so she's worried about how it may effect those in the long run.

Yep, I think it'll have to be replaced. They don't cost much. Only the touch panel needs to be replaced, not the LCD.

Just a matter of finding a time when it's not being obsessively played with to get it sent in then.
