Amazon Fire HD 8 touchscreen problems?

I've been pretty happy with the performance of my Amazon Fire HD 8 (L5S83A), but I think I may have been too rough with it. The touch screen is now registering inputs somewhat erratically - typing on the keyboard at the bottom of the screen may randomly register as inputs as the top of the screen, for instance.

I can't seem to determine if this is a common problem for this tablet, or even the best means for diagnosing the problem. It's definitely not very old, so maybe it's the sort of thing that can be fixed under warranty - or is a fresh one likely to have the same problems?

ETA: Some further testing suggests the problem only really manifests with one particular charger plugged in. Is that normal?

Ah. Well, that's a relief, thank you.

Some days you just can't find the right Google terms.
