[Q] error trying to access recovery (stock rom) topic

Hi, here's the deal: I was given an Asus TF300t with the touch screen broken to a hit. I've replaced it and it worked fine for about a week or so. Now the touch panel acts as if someone had his fingers stuck at the corners, either the top right or both bottom ones.

I'm trying to rule out a software glitch, so I tried to access the recovery to wipe everything and restore to defaults. I can access the menu with the choices of wiping, booting android or entering recovery. I can wipe from that menu. If I try to enter the recovery option, I get a screen with the android logo which also says "error".

Could this be a sign of a hardware problem with the nand? And, in any case, how could I go about fixing the recovery so it works?


(the touch screen issue might still be a hardware issue, due either a defective replacement or something I did wrong when replacing it, but I'm trying to rule out software at this point)

Thanks in advance
