After a few months of my Megatouch Force eVo working fine, I start it up and this happens...No signal and repetitive beeping. I tried counting the beeps, but it doesn't stop so I can't do that. I tried reseating the RAM; no help. I tried a new CMOS battery; no help. I'm stuck on what the next step is. Is this usually indicative of a motherboard failure? ??? :angry:
Thanks,

CPU issue or bad RAM stick is usually what incessant ceaseless beeping is.

I'll swap out the RAM and see if that helps at all and report back.

You guys rock, it was a stick of RAM that crapped out. I swapped it out with some RAM from my Force Radion and it started right up.
Side question; has anybody ever observed condensation forming on a Megatouch LCD panel, beneath the touchscreen overlay? It only occurs when the game has been on for a while (15 minutes+). My guess is that the panel is heating up and forming visible moisture on the screen. The basement humidity is around 65-70%. I guess the only way to eliminate this is to reduce the moisture in the basement. Any insight would still be helpful.
Thanks,

BOOM! that's howedoit!
condensation? that's a new one for me.
welp, you need to do one of 2 things. either...
remove the touch overlay, clean it all up and then seal it good with some foam tape and maybe some fabric tape around the edges so no moisture can get in....
or
remove the touch overlay, clean it all up and then seal it not very good with some foam tape so there is space at the corners for any moisture that may get in there to escape.

for my overlay edges (around the outside)
I use 2-3" wide black hockey tape
works perfect.
do not forget the spacer foam tape

You have products to avoid moisture for people with glasses.
Maybe you could treat the tube and inside of the touch overlay with such a product.
Sealing it completely in a very dry area might be worth testing as well.

Got my anti-fog lens cleaner, cloth, foam tape and went to work, I'm trying the "allow moisture to escape" approach and leaving gaps in the foam tape. Hopefully it will work out. I left the game on about an hour with no visible moisture which is a good sign...
