Help Touchscreen intermittently unresponsive in refurb Froyo when connected to USB

I just got a refurbished Fascinate to replace one where the camera app stopped working after the Froyo OTA update. This one works well, and I've started repopulating it with my apps. I've run into a problem, however; the touchscreen begins not reacting to touch when it's plugged in to the USB.

I have to either turn the screen off and back on (sometimes repeatedly) or repeatedly tap the desired area before it recognizes there's a touch.

Now, if I only rarely tried using the phone when it was charging, it wouldn't be an issue. However, I do use the phone while charging fairly often; playing games that drain the battery, responding to a text that comes in while it's charging, etc.

So I guess it's back to the Verizon store today. Unless anyone has a DIY fix I can try before then.
