Hello Boyue Lifebook people,

I bought 2 Lifebooks a year ago, both basically to read sheet music, chiefly. One went to my friend and works just fine AND dandy. The other I have and DOES NOT work fine. Well, everything works EXCEPT -- at random -- the screen thinks I've touched it, or swiped it, and pretty soon you're suddenly 35 pages away, at high magnification or something. It makes using it one hell of a meditation. In fact, I haven't for several months.

I'm not going to upgrade it in any way (having lurked in the forum) but before it becomes completely retro, I'd like to try and fix the random glitching. It is a lovely little reader really. I did take the back off, right back when I first got it, because it wasn't charging. I never figured it out, because it started charging again, for no good reason. Maybe that has something to do with the screen glitching.

It would be so good to hear other people have had this happen. Especially as originally my friend's Lifebook was mine. Yeah, I was trying to get *his* to charge up.

Here's hoping,

Sandy Anderson

(PS. Hey, maybe I've discovered a new way to detect cosmic rays?!?!)
