You could try to have the connections between the screen and the motherboard
cleaned. Or get the screen replaced. Calvin Grier is offering new touch
screens with assorted colored backlight <http://www.adago.net/>.

Did you try to clean the edge of the screen with a business card? You swipe
the card around the screen, underneath the case. Sometimes, debris stuck
there can really affect the touch screen. Make sure you have a screen
protector if you decide to do this, or you may scratch your screen.

Blue Screen of Death n.: [common] This term is closely related to the older
Black Screen of Death but much more common (many non-hackers have picked it
up). Due to the extreme fragility and bugginess of Microsoft Windows,
misbehaving applications can readily crash the OS (and the OS sometimes
crashes itself spontaneously). The Blue Screen of Death, sometimes decorated
with hex error codes, is what you get when this happens. (Commonly
abbreviated BSOD.)
