iPod touch iPod 1st Gen Touch: Touch Screen Problems

[KaDyLaK]

I have a 1st gen iPod touch that I have recently encountered a problem with. When trying to access the App store I am prompted for my login and password, I fill that out but the touch screen does not seem to recognize when I press JOIN or CANCEL.

I have confirmed that the touch screen does respond to touch by opening apps that are positioned in the same area.

I have also just upgraded to 3.1.3 and still the same problem occurs.

Any suggestions as to what I might try next as I am completely confused.

Thanks for any help...

You need to replace the Digitizer.

Would it still be the digitizer if this is the only time that it does not work? Would there not be a dead spot on the touch screen under all conditions, not just when I am trying to enter my App store password?

Yes, it is. They won't be a dead spot.
