Its unclear if you have a hardware or software problem. Try this: place
a small piece (0.12" wide X 1" long) of thin plastic or cardboard under
different parts of the screen/case area, especially in the lower right
quadrant and see if that clears it up. If it does, you have some crud
which won't dislodge easily. You will need to take the case off and
clean under it to clear up the problem.
