Maybe we should have a collective thread for non-responsive touchscreen problems, they seem to pop up more and more often lately? I too have bought an used Glo with unresponsive touchscreen, it's unfortunately hard to tell why that happens and whether it can be fixed. Haven't had the chance to find a replacement board to play with.
This is just guesswork:

Sometimes it's just a failure of the infrared emitters/sensors, I've bought a used Glo with perfect display but no touch whatsoever. I suspect it's the board itself in this case, but I can't test it... haven't had luck on Ebay lately, people just bid too much for broken stuff.  |

I don't know enough about electronics so I'm not sure how to narrow such issues down.
I only know that (in my case) on the software end there simply is not the slightest reaction from the touchscreen, so it's an issue of hardware/kernel rather than just a bug in nickel or whatever.
