How do I stop my 8" Lilli from doing a callibration each time I reboot my machine...?

Peace,

Rafster

Are you talking about the touchscreen calibration where the software puts up an X in each corner for you to touch? If so, I got rid of this by reinstalling the touchscreen software and when setting the option to not go through the calibration each time it was started up. Sorry I don't have any specifics, but you should easily notice the option when you go through the installation. Calibration is still available by entering the software and manually starting it.

Cutting out the 9 pin din connector on a 619

Lilliput has swapped some wires. If you swap out the connector, or cut it out all together, you need to:

Connect Orange to Blue, and Blue to Orange
Connect Brown to Purple, and Purple to Brown
Green and ground are correct
All touch wires are also correct.

Found this ou the hard way when I chopped out my Din connector. Saw the Jurrasic image that I havent seen in quite a while!

Symtoms of my din going out were flaky video and loss of touchscreen.

Here are some pics of my 8" lilli that I got from mp3car.com
Model #: 809GL-80NP/C/T

found this in another post...

"The IR sensor was a shot in the dark. When disassembling my lilliput
monitor, one of the 3 connecting pins broke off the original sensor.
The guy at Radio Shack said he was 99.8% sure this one would work. He
was right. If you break off your sensor, you can replace it with Radio
Shack Part # 2760640 38MHZ IR Receiver Module. cost was $3.69"

I'll get one this week and try it out.

if you haven't reprogrammed the lilliput to autopower then you need to press the button, whatever way you get it to receive power.

I drive a convertible so direct full on sunlight sucks, Can't see a damn thing, so drive towards the sun. lol. Other than that, it not too bad. As you can see from my skin, the white buttons, they still make their way through, so you can still control things. Also, your hand going over it to touch the screen casting the slight shadow over it helps in the worst of situations. Not ready to fork out the $600 (for just the 7") for a transflective upgrade though... sheeeett.. lol

Native resolution is 800x600 but it works perfectly with 1024x768, though I do run it at the native res.

I did need to extend the cable from the monitor. I'm using 6' usb and vga extensions. Works great. No flickers or any other problems whatsoever. Powered off of a M2ATX. Comes on automatically with the car. The factory codes mentioned in the threads here also work for this monitor. ;-)

So there you have it. A HUGE screen at a decent price and works great. ;-)
