Saw this and it worked to fix my touchscreen. This is not my tip, it's from another user on the boards, but he seems to be inactive for the moment

Lilliput TouchKit problem solved!

Greetings,
I just got my Lilliput 7" touchscreen, and had a problem with the drivers and software that was shipped with it. After spending (wasting) a few hours here on the board, reading posts about how good or bad it is, and how much better the Xenarc screen is, I found a solution that may help a few people.

The problem: Computer locks up during installation of the TouchKit software, usually after scanning the com ports. It only takes the work of a few minutes to see that a lot of people are having this problem. I hope this helps...

The solution:
1. After banging my head on the table trying to uninstall the bad drivers, I finally did a system restore. I tried deleting the INF files and registry entries, but the "Found new hardware" after reboot would not go away. I hate to resort to system restore, but that was my only option at that point.

2. I downloaded the latest software from eGalax (the authors of the program) at http://www.egalax.com.tw Click on downloads and find your operating system. It seems to me that most people with this problem are using Windows XP.

3. I installed the software without the hardware connected. After reboot, I connected the hardware, and let windows automatically configure the drivers.

It all works fine now. I hope this will help some of you that have had a similar problem.

Have a nice day!

more troubleshooting tips:
if you have no power going to your lilliput (eg led doesn't even light up)
either the eggs is screwed up, power it from your power supply; or the smaller ribbon cable is not aligned correctly, it needs to be positioned all the way to the right if the screen is facing up.
if you have a white screen
the larger ribbon cable is not in all the way/correctly, for my lilliput with the pins on the same side, the pins are face up on both connectors
if you broke of the retention clip for the ribbon cable
use tape/hotglue/toothpick method

if the colors are off (eg my screen had a bluish tint to it)
check the soldered connections on the board, or check to see if the pins on the din connector are bent; check the color settings on the lilliput menu

Please update the driver link:
The correct link should be

Thanks

8" disassembled pics. I'll post measurements up this evening. Click each pic for a larger version.

Pretty easy to take apart - 4 screws for the back of the case, small tabs in the top to pop out (just like the 7", it sounds like), ribbon cables, etc. The 4-wire connector on the side is for the touchscreen and is a ***** to disconnect. The 2-wire on the other side is a little tough to get to with big fat fingers.

This should be here I think:

For those who want that their Lilliput screen power ON automatically when the power supply is applied on :

If you are not good with soldering, try this first:

I wrote a guide on how to get the eGalax drivers working with Debian GNU/Linux and it's relatively general so it's applicable to other linux distributions. I know a link has been posted elsewhere on the forums but hopefully this will be more visibile. The guide is located at http://tzilla.is-a-geek.com/articles/egalax . All questions, comments, corrections and suggestions are welcome... along with criticisms.

Does someone have the measurements of the 8" screen? Like this:

I want to see if that could fit.

Edit: I found it:

Frodo,

Can you update the driver link?

Here is the wiring diagram of the 9 pin 8" Lilliput

Nighty · 02-06-2006, 04:07 AM

Me and a friend who've recently started our own carpc project have put another wiring scheme online for the Lilliput 619; we tried to make it as newbie friendly as possible (although basic proficiency with a soldering iron is required of course). Since we based part of it on gregmoll's schematic above, we felt it fit to link to our info in this thread, as a way of saying thanks to gregmoll for the fine info, and to expand on the knowledge contained in this thread.

The post can be found here. The VGA part is working perfectly; we haven't had the chance to test the touchscreen yet, but the kernel messages in our preliminary Linux install show it registers itself as a USB device when plugged in, so we're pretty confident it'll work once we install the drivers.

Just so you guys don't have to click on the link to get to the schematics, here's the direct link:

Any feedback is of course appreciated. Have fun, and try not to get your fingers burnt like I did.

Edit: We didn't make step-by-step instructions because it was late after work and I had to hurry a bit in order for my friend to catch his last bus home. We didn't finish in time, and I had to drive him home anyway, but that's beside the point... We'll do this again once my screen arrives though. But this may take a while. After all, we already have one for testing purposes. I'll post a link to the new, step-by-step instructions then and update this post to point to the new one. But for now, I think these instructions should suffice for those even remotely tech-savvy.
