Anyone else expierencing problems with touch

Question

I've had my player(20GB) for two months. Its worked fine so far. Recently however i've had problems with the touchpad, at first it wouldn't work sporadically, but by dint of reseting the player or simply waiting a few minutes the pad would work again perfectly. This happened again over the last couple of days except this time it appears more serious.
i switched it on today and touchpad would not work. After roughly two hours play on random setting it suddenly sprung to life and began working absolutely perfectly. I then went for a walk and locked the player as i do when its in my pocket, on returning and unlocking player pad had inexplicably froze up once more.
The player has never been subject to any trauma/misuse, and the thing thats really confusing is how the pad can go from being frozen to working perfectly without me even touching it's I figured the touchpad would not take kindly to being mashed so i didn't and thus far the problem tended to rectify itself, my question therefore is ) anyone experienced this incredibly irritating problem and 2) would defragmenting the hard disk etc have any effect? any replies would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

I would most certainly try a disk clean up. If that doesn't seem to resolve the issue a reloading of the OS could be the solution. There might be a bug in the firmware you have a fresh install could clear it out. Anything beyond that may be a hardware issue that could be something that warrents a replacement via RMA.
