[solved] GX Touch 50 Non Responsive to Touch

Hi All

Just added a GX Touch 50 Monitor to my Cerbo.

All the data displayed is correct, but the screen is not responsive to my touch at all and only displays the main screen.

I removed the protective film, and still no change.

Is this a setting or something to "Activate" it?

Thanks

Hi @Ram5500 Camperthing

it should just work out of the box.

Do you have any extension cables etc. connected? or screen directly into the Cerbo:

@Ram5500 Camperthing

Did you try rebooting and powercycling the Cerbo GX by removing the power connection at least twice already?

if that doesn't help it's time to call your dealer and find out if it's the screen or the Cerbo...

Want version firmware are you running? Have you updated it to a version greater than 2.57. The notification of release for 2.57 does mention fixing an issue with the touch screen hanging.

See point 2 in this article.

Had the seem issue. Could control is from my phone and not on the touch screen but the upgrade seems to fix it. I use extension cables as well. (For HDMI and USB)
