Hi!
Bought a 1st gen Iliad off eBay, and sure enough, got one with a broken digitizer

The problem manifests itself by pen not being tracked on ~half of the screen.
The non tracking areas are wide stripes.
I've illustrated it in the attached notes picture

The problem is that half of the interface cannot be used, like the bloody keyboard. Can't type keys QAZOP, and even worse, can't type the dot, so no way to connect to IDS.
I was thinking of flashing it and see if it help, but I see no way to do that without typing the email/pass

The rest of the Iliad seems to be working fine.
Any ideas?
I still have a week to file a claim.
