This is interesting. I tried using a De-Oxit pen on my touchscreen-MOBO
connector to cure a case of jaggies, but it didn't help and may have
made it worse. Is it possible that this property of the De-Oxit that
you experienced could also have prevented a good contact between the
flexible touchscreen connector and the MOBO? Maybe I should seek out
the CAIG cleaner intended for keyboard membranes and try that on one of
my jaggified Newts? Hmmm.....
