Who told you to use compresed air? I don't think that will help. The problem is the connections between the circuit board and the display glass. These typically use rubber connectors called "zebra strips" because of their alternating layers of black conductive rubber and non-conductive rubber of another color. They rely on pressure to keep the connection. Not enough pressure = no connection = bad design. Someday I will take mine apart and try to fix it but for now it is a "touch panel".
