I cannot recall seeing any previous reports of the touchscreen itself failing, but Touch PSU's are well into their "fail period" often first symptoms are the remote/IR receiver becoming more fussy and directional and then failing completely (I have experienced this with my own unit), if you've got one, try the remote and see how it behaves... mine became very directional, so my Harmony hub IR sender wouldn't operate it but the touch remote pointing straight at it worked. I replaced the PSU and it it was back to working fine with the Harmony hub. If your remote is very directional or doesn't work reliably then you may have proved a failing PSU. Either way, replacement PSUs are relatively cheap and an easy thing to try. Replacement parts - not sure you would be able to get new, so I would say eBay, either a complete working unit or maybe risk a "for spares or repair" and hope you get the working bits you need and can successfully transfer them over.
