Touchscreen interchangeable?

Brib3 · 08-17-2006, 05:40 PM

*updade: it works flawlesly after a line calibration. See post #10.

*I personally find the Xenarc touchscreen way better than the Lilliput one, not function as much as the picture quality between the two. I had a White screen Xenarc and a Lilli with no touchscreen so that's how I got to it.

Hi. I was wondering if I could use a 4 pin touchscreen from a 7" xenarc on a 7" liliput screen?

Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks

Interesting, I was just wondering this too. Just got the wonderful white screen of death on my Xenarc so I was going to buy a Lilliput and transfer the touchscreen if possible.

It's possible. All of those 4-pin touch screen overlays are interchangeable. The USB TS controller is the same on pretty much ALL LCDs. The Xenarc, the Lili and my eBay brand all use the same one.

Exactly... there is a HUGE difference between the xenarc touchscreen and the lilli touchscreen (crap)

Ok, so with 2 pins changed I managed to get the Xenarc touchscreen to work as it should as in, moving my finger towards the left side, the mouse moves towards the left side and so on. This is with the LILLI touchscreen controller and the Xenarc touchscreen overlay.

THE PROBLEM: When moving my finger on the touchscreen towards the left side, the mouse moves further than where my finger actually is. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Have you tried calibrating it with the touchscreen software?

I had same problem.

So I can fix it. What setting should I be looking at when calibrating. It's just the width of the screen that does not correspond. Thanks, Alex

Calibration will just ask you to touch and hold different corners of the screen where a little dot comes up.

LOL I just figured it out right before checking the forum again. It is confirmed guys. IT IS WORKING. All I had to do was switch 2 wires out of the 4: with the white residue side (from the double face tape), left to right, I switched the first wire with the third (I thing the ribbon going in the LCD is reversed too). But it is working perfectly. NOW I only have to solder a VGA cable straight to the monitor and it will be working perfectly. I have found that the connector between the LCD cable and the VGA cable can cause flickering after a while. Needless to say that needs to be taken care of as well.
