(odd).
The Touch uses a "union file system". The firmware gets loaded into the "base" file system, any changes (settings, edited files etc) go into an "overlay". The union of these two is what everything else sees. The factory reset deletes the overlay. It does not reload the base filesystem. It sounds like you have something corrupted in the base, so just a factory reset doesn't cut it. You probably need to reload the firmware, not just factory reset. You should be able to put the fab4.bin file on SD or USB stick, boot and select update from media. That takes the touchscreen to get to the update menu. I'm sure it can be done directly from the SD or USB without any interaction at all, but I don't remember how thats done. I'd have to spend a little time pouring over the code to work it out.
