When ever I touch the left side of my touch screen its always 3-4mm off from the actual sylus.

I tried calibrating my touch screen, but the cycle keeps going on and on and on...

So I was wondering, is there anyway to fix this?

Well, if you go to the main DS Menu, and poke around the settings you should find something called, "recalibrating". Do this accurately and it SHOULD fix the problem.

i heard somewhere that the edge of touch screens going out of whack can be due to dust/dirt getting into the edges of your screen thus putting pressure on your screen edges and warping it slightly

so cleaning it should help

what i read suggested using something like a fine tooth brush to really clean out the dirt just under the plastic surrounding the screen

I've had a little bit of trouble too with my touch screen because it is a bit loose, but it hasn't been a major issue just a bit annoying. Damm all that dust that gets into the corners of the touch screen.

@Scorpion72:

The same thing happened to me last year. Check out this article @ IGN.

I think the only way to fix it is to send it back. It costed me about $100 bucks since I didn't have any warranty on it.
