Nvts’s mountain’s Jukebox (revealed!)
Nvts:
I had some issues with my router table not being quite big enough for keeping the shell straight enough. I kind of messed up a little on the front side, and pulled the router out of the table for the back. The back went way better.
So I am putting stuff together, and I decide to do a demo test, and the touch screen does not work now. I'm not sure what happened. If i touch the metal tabs in the very corner, I can make the pointer jump around, so I don't think it's a connection issue. How do these things tell where my finger is?
mountain:
Make sure nothing is touching the diagonal lines around the edges of the touch overlay. They are SAW (Surface Acousical Wave) technology. Anything touching them will throw it off. I am pretty sure this is your problem if the unit worked before mounting it.
Nvts:
I pulled the monitor back out, and cleaned off the screen and I still get nothing. I did have some weatherstripping on the glass and removed it, but I still get nothing. Hope i didn't hose the screen up. :banghead:
DaOld Man:
I just hooked mine up for a test run and had the same problem.
I had to remove the foam rubber weatherstripping I had put around the edge of the monitor opening in the acrylic.
It was touching the lines Mountain talked about.
I removed the weatherstripping and now it works good.
I wish I could easily remove the acrylic and make another one. I would extend the edge of the acrylic about another 1/2" all the way around the monitor, I think that would allow me to use the weatherstripping. It looks a lot better with the weatherstripping filling the gap between the monitor glass and the acrylic. Plus if I could re-do the acrylic, I could fix that one corner I screwed up.
Oh well..
DaOld Man:
I think I posted about the same time as you.
So nothing is touching the glass and it's still not working?
You had the glass off the monitor, didn't you?
Do you think you might have a plug loose between the glass and the monitor works?
