Me ipad touch screen work strange: it works without me touching it!!

I got my ipad2 one month ago as a replacment of another one that has a dead pixel on the screen. The apple store gave me a referpished one.

After using it for few days I found a very strange act !! The screen start clicking Icons, lounching apps, closing, and typing as if someone controling it remotlly!!!

I hard reset the iPad but still have the same issue. It usually starts doing this after I use it for more than 1 hour.

Does anyone has similer proplem, how can I fix it? Do I have to return it?

iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1

A reboot usually fixes many problem. You said you did a hard reset. Is this what you did?

Reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.

If that's what you did then I'd next take your iPad in to Apple and have it looked at.
