Lilliput Touchscreen Problem

BrUTaL · 10-20-2004, 07:35 PM

Hope someone can help me.

When I bought my lliliput and installed it in my car, my touchscreen was working fine. However, someday it stopped working. If I disconnect my USB touchscreen cable and connect it back on, it does detect it and it allows me to install the driver and software. However, it doesn't work at all. What is causing this? I have uninstall and install windows several times but same problem. I have tried connecting it directly to another computer but had the same problem.

Armen, if you could help me out it will be very nice. Could you think of what's causing this?

My touchscreen USB is connected thru a USB self powered Hub, but what doesn't make sense is that I did try it on my laptop so I dont think it is the HUB.

Hey man, I had a similair problem. Try using system restore, (I know, i know), to restore to time when your TS works. Worked for me, YMMV.

Ok thanks I will try it, if doesn't work I will need to take it apart and check it out to see if something is wrong.

If anyone has any fix pls help out

i have the same exact probelm (don't we all)....sucks, sounds like it's all too common. Wish i spent the extra hundred on the xenarc!

I too have this problem with my Lilliput screen (worked ok for a while then stopped working just like that).
I sent it back for repair/replacement under warranty. I'll get it back any day now.
But the question remains: will it eventually do this again, and will my warranty still be valid when/if that happens?

I had this problem too, Armen sad that it's common that the TS is going bad. mine worked for like 2 days, and started not recognizing the right side. so i ordered the replacement touchscren from Armen, and boom i worked

BE VERY CAREFULL with the ribbon cable, because it broke on me. hope helped you out.

Okay you guys.... gotta learn to search. This is the last time i rewrite this.

First thind to check is the din cable coming out of the back of the lilliput. Make sure that all the pins are straight. They bend easily. If one of the touches another pin or grounds out your screen wont work. (this happened to me)

Second off Your USB controller is detected so that means that the controller is fine. So that leaves the Touch Pannel. It is common for these to go out. I think it has something to do with heat. Anyways you may need a replacement pannel although i would check all cableing and all connections and all pins before i flipped out and replaced the pannel and then replaced the usb controller and have it still not work (that is what i did only to find it it was a friggen bent pin....grrr 2 hours down the drain, good thing i had extra lilliput parts sitting around

)

happened to two of my lillis. Lillis are not worth the money for touchscreens

Hello yall... im having a problem with my touch screen. sometimes is works perfect, sometimes it only works horisoltaly (can move cursor left and right) byt most of the time it dosen't work at all.

Anyone have the same problem?

i have tried jiggeling the cables, both the cable from the computer to the usb touch controler and the one from the touch controler to the touch screen.
bot it dosen't seam to matter

and sometimes the screen goes black or is "blurred"

got suggestions?

Pudge · 10-23-2004, 10:40 AM

the blurred is simply because the 9 pin "mini-din" adaptor thing blows. You'll just have to finick with it, or find a wiring pinout, chop off the connectors, and use like serial cable ends to make a better connector. Try searching for some of the things mentinoned in my post, there will be plenty of info.

Lilli touchscreens blow co-k. What I did for my indash conversion is add 4 new wires off an ide cable to "beef" it up. So far it's been working perfectly.

superdude · 10-23-2004, 11:52 AM

i'll try it out

Thanks for the advice dudes!!
