Q: Touch screen going crazy
For the past few weeks, the touch screen goes crazy as if an invisible finger is touching the screen in random locations. This happens regardless of if I am holding the iPad in my hand or not. I could be reading a web page and having the opah on the desk and in random it happens.
I am not using any screen protector and there are no scratches on the screen.
The iPad goes in this mode in random and it is not linked to any specific application.
The way to get it out of this mode is to hit the power button once and then unlock the screen.
Does anybody else have this issue?
Any solution to this?
Is my ipad broken?
Thanks
Sam

Hi Tiger San,
Try:
1. Power cycle the iPad, turn off and then back on.
2. Hard reset; hold both the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
3. Factory restore by attaching to iTunes, but back up all information first so you can restore it.
If none of these steps work, in ascending order of course, then a visit to the Apple Retail store genius bar is in order. Not responding to these steps means a faulty touch screen.
