DS Lite Calibration Problem

[catapult37]

Just wanted to get some opinions on this before I call Nintendo. I have a feeling they'll do something (they fix that cosmetic problem with the hinge, after all), but I'm not so anxious to part with my DS yet.

My problem is that my touch screen calibration no longer works correctly. I first noticed when playing trauma center that I didn't get the syringe tool until I clicked just to the left of it. I went into the OS to recalibrate, but no matter how many times I do it, there's one corner that's always off. I did as the Nintendo online FAQ says and checked all around for obstructions or what-have-you. Nothing.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? To anyone who's had to get their DS repaired, how long does it usually take? Is the shipping cost left for you to pay? Thanks to anyone who can answer some of my questions.

umm.. maybe it's just me but double-posting and reposting the same post over and over again is an annoying way to bump..

EDIT: didnt' realize there was an outage when you posted.. my apologies

Are you using the stylus at an extreme angle to the screen? Have you tried another stylus? Sometimes (and I'm speaking from personal experience after playing Trauma Center) the stylus becomes worn to a point that it's angled instead of round. New stylus fixed it for me.
