Author Topic: Unresponsive Doremi Touch Display Yang Miller Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Athens, Ohio, USA Registered: Jul 2015 posted 06-18-2016 05:21 PM                     Our touch display has been jittery and off even after collaboration and today has stopped responding altogether. I found a document from Doremi that suggests piercing a small hole in the upper left side of the screen. Has anyone had this issue? Thoughts? Thanks so much!  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-18-2016 08:36 PM                     Yes.Seems crazy, but just do it. It can be a rather amazing fix. Or the screen is otherwise broken... I have poked dozens of them, no problems. I do it in the extreme top left corner.  |  IP: Logged Pietro Clarici Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Foligno (PG) Italy Registered: Sep 2008 posted 06-21-2016 04:43 PM                        This is interesting, I've been experiencing the same issue on a Dolphin DCI 1.2 machine but I didn't believe that procedure could actually fix it. Thanks, I'll give it a try.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-24-2016 06:41 PM                     I was told some touchpanels were too well sealed and air pressure changes would compress the sensing layer and confuse it. We had some that would move the pointer all around the screen and click as well, the server would have a solid black task bar with hundreds of apps open after a few days.  |  IP: Logged Matt Johnston Film Handler Posts: 37 From: Fort Myers, FL Registered: Oct 2009 posted 06-25-2016 05:33 PM                     We had the same issue a while back. The pin-hole fixed it. Crazy, huh!  |  IP: Logged Pietro Clarici Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Foligno (PG) Italy Registered: Sep 2008 posted 06-26-2016 05:13 PM                        quote: Dave Macaulay (...) We had some that would move the pointer all around the screen and click as well (...) Exactly, and then it stopped working completely. I tried the pin-hole method, but I couldn't manage to fix it. Luckily that screen is remotely controlled 99% of the time, I guess we'll just go on using a local keyboard/mouse set or Wi-Fi tablet when needed.  |  IP: Logged
