Bad Touch Screen
Problem:
The touchscreen is not responding to touch.
Solution:
Provide steps that the user can take to solve the problem. For example "The level 7 printer will flash red when it is out of paper. Add paper to tray 1".
NOTE: The unit might seem like it is locked up but the physical buttons underneath the display are working. - Log out of the DriverTech unit by pressing the blue power button.
- Power the unit off by pressing the Power button once more -- leave turned off for about 2 minutes.
- Check connections on the back of the screen to make sure there is nothing loose.
- Then power the unit back on, by again pressing the Power button.
- If the issue persists: remove power from the unit via either the fuse or the battery kill switch.
- Keep the power disconnected for 5 minutes
- Bring the unit back up and test the touchscreen
- If the issue persists remove power via either the fuse or battery kill switch for 30 minutes
- Bring the unit back up and test the touchscreen
- If the touchscreen is still inoperable, clean it using this procedure. Note: this is not just for cleaning, but also to re-establish contact between the panes in the touchscreen.
- Power down the unit
- With a damp cloth, with finger pressure, wipe from the top-left over to the top-right
- Continue the process row-by-row until the bottom-right is reached.
- Clean out the edges next to the bezel
- Power the unit back up
- If the screen is still not responding to touch, it will need to be brought into a shop.
- A USB keyboard and/or mouse may be used as a temporary workaround to this issue while the unit is awaiting shop repair.
