    Intermittent track pad - will not tap or double tap

    It could actually be defective hardware. Which would be why they are pointing you to an exchange. I can think of 3 options (assuming you already have the latest driver/firmware): 1 - Uninstall and reinstall the trackpad. 2 - Perform a full reset on the device. 3 - Exchange the device.

    You can try plugging your Xbox into another TV and lowering the output resolution from HDMI. It's possible that it was manually set to a resolution (besides Auto) and your HDMI converter doesn't support it.

    Holding down the Start button lowers the screen???

    It's one-handed mode. Designed for larger devices but available on all of them. That way you don't have to do that weird juggling thing to pull down notification center or access something on top half of the screen.
