Please don't start a new thread about the same question. It would be very wasteful of everyone's time to start going through all the same suggestions again.
There have been many suggestions in this thread that you have either not tried, or have not said what happened when you did try them. Unless this is a two way dialogue we are unable to help you. For example, what happens with the "touch test" (see first reply in this thread).
