The TS LP that I use at work has been giving me little bits of trouble for a long time. I never really thought about it, but I don't have near as much trouble with the one I use at home. Anyway, recently, the normal 5x palm touch and unplug replug procedures didn't help. It is only the left side, so I brought it home and changed the ribbon cable. Unfortunately, that didn't help either, and now it's not just dead, but also ugly (doesn't sit right on the tent stand and has a white ribbon cable instead of the FingerWorks wrapped one). My problem is I get sporadic data from the left pad. I can type and not get any of my key presses, or get totally different key presses, and I get phantom keystrokes and gestures as well. There is no radio interference, as it has been in the same place for quite a while, and I put it away thinking that may be it the first time it happened, getting it out later with the same results. I then tried it at home where my other one works fine and got the same behavior. This happens within a couple of minutes of plugging the thing into a computer. I'm not sure what I can do about it, if anything, but I wanted to post here and see if anyone else has had a similar experience or has any suggestions for resolving the issue. If you can help, please do.
