Take one of your business cards and run it around the edge of the screen, between the screen and the bezel. Lift up the edge of the bezel and insert the card, run the card around the periphery of the screen. This either removes the accumulated hand goo or simply relieves the pressure of the bezel on the screen. This will fix the problem for a while. 

Next, do a backup.

Finally, if it all works, send me a sweat shirt, I don't have one from Yale.
