Hi everyone!
I had this problem recently. I have 1 year with my N900, 6 days ago the touch screen began to fail. This video shows the same problems I have:

I open the device and cleaned. I did clean the digitizer and the lcd, checked every ribbon was correctly connected and remove all the dust. Then I closed the device, and power it on with still the same problem. After 10 minutes of touching the screen, it fixed. I am not using any kind of screen protector.
Then it was all wonderful, but 1 day ago the problem returned! This time i wasn't able to fix it. I tried open it and clean it again but no success.
The last thing that I installed was the mod to watch and record 720p videos. I followed the steps from here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ch+720p+videos
. When I installed it, I had no problem.
Other things to consider is that i have installed NITDroid. When i power on my N900 with slide up, i have 4 options in Multiboot:
1. Original Kernel
2. Power 48
3. Power 49
4. NITDroid
If i select the original kernel it keeps booting the nokia logo in a loop. If i select the second option, multiboot shows me an error. The third option boots normally with kernel power 49. And the last option boots NITDroid normally too(NITDroid is also affected with the touch screen problem)
Right now i'm able to control the device from my PC via VNC. I've made a backup of all my stuff. The only solution i've think of is buying a new digitizer from eBay.
Is there someone having the same problem as i do? Thank you for help and sorry for my bad english.
