Kindle PW4 ghost touch issue.
I searched all over the internet for a solution and unfortunately no solution.
As soon as my Kindle turned 2 years old last month, sometimes the device turned pages once in a while, at first I thought it was because of dirt on the screen.
But as the days went by this ghost touch became more frequent, making it impossible to read any book, and sometimes the entire screen freezes because it registers too many touches.
From what I've read on the internet this is a common problem with the Paperwhite 4, and no matter how many times I restart or factory reset, the issue always comes back in a few minutes.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is to update the firmware to the latest version, because then I would lose the ability to jailbreak.
So since the ghost touches always occurs at the same point on the screen (bottom-left), does anyone know of a way to disable the touch screen only on this specific area with some jailbreak app or on KOreader?
Amazon Brazil has already replied me that since the 1 year warranty ended, there is nothing else to do other than buy a new device, they offered me a 10% discount on a 2021 Paperwhite which is stupid because I can find it cheaper in other stores.
Anyway I'm probably out of luck but any help is appreciated.
