Hey there,

please explain what you mean about [gremlin] !


My first thought is ghost touch.


For the OP - if it is ghost touch (where the touchscreen seems to be recording seemingly random contacts) then it's most likely a failing digitizer and the only way to repair it would be to replace the digitizer. Apple repairs it as a complete replacement of the front screen assembly, including the glass, digitizer, and display.
