Hi Frank. My N810's touchscreen functionality has just died and I'm - rather nervously - thinking of trying the same surgery as you did back in January.
Looking at the disassembly instructions, they say of several sets of screws "Discard these screws. Do not use them again."
Should this warning be taken seriously? If so, can you suggest a source of replacement screws? Or are these standard items?

I did not discard the screws nor do I think it's required.

The disassembly instructions are for a technician doing repairs in a shop. They would have the replacement screws and the torque wrench to put the exact tightening on the screws. For you, reuse the screws.

Ugh, looks like the main connector is cracked and has some bent pins on mine... Does anyone know where to get one of these replacement parts (ie. the main internal flex cable)? Every place I find says they're out of stock...

I took a chance and ordered a Main Internal Flex Cable Assembly from CellularDr and revived my N810 today. The part number is 0269975 and that is the Nokia N810 Main Internal Flex Cable Assembly with Connectors.
The replacement is not for the faint of heart, there are some tight areas to get into. You need a Torx T4 screwdriver and a small flat prying device. I followed the instructions in a file called Nokia N810 Tablet Wimax Disassembly.pdf
Woo hoo!!!! Hope this helps any other N810 owners.

I have similar or same problem as you did. My touchscreen works is work properly sometimes (5% of time), has vertical and horizontal displacement (70% of time) and does not work at all (25% of time).
Calibration did not solve the issue.
The device switches between states randomly on keyboard slide in/out.
I've examined the flex (disconnected and connected both connectors board-flex and flex- touchscreen), cleaned the touchscreen (once it was removed from the flex).
I've noticed there is another thin flex on the sliding mechanism, which is in bad condition (the layers on this flex are separated). It seems its only purpose is to make galvanic connection (looks like RF interference precaution) between sliding part and the metal support, but I am not 100% sure.
Do you know the purpose of this thin flex?
Did you have mixed behavior as described above?

Do you know the purpose of this thin flex connecting moving part to the base of sliding mechanism?

Note: I have successfully bought parts from these people, but have no other affiliation.
