Touchscreen - touch not working
Bummer...

I've been installing the different midori imgs on my GCT and in the process of taking the GCT apart, I think I've managed to screw up the touchscreen - it no longer responds to "touch". I've tried all the midori builds and the problem is the same. Before I nuked the origianl image that came with it, the touch screen wasn't working there, either. I've been looking at all the connectors and trying to figure out what is screwed up but nothing is jumping out at me.

Does anybody know wherethe touchscreen connector is or have any ideas on what might be disconnected? The screen works fine - touch is just not working.

thanks,
jim

Check the controller cable which is just outside the right speaker, it a push contact ribbon cable (5 conductor) sometimes they get smashed when taking on or off the cover.

I'm using the Midori Linux images that have been talked about on the board. This is bumming me out because I can't see how I managed to break the touch screen part. I've looked up and down the machine and don't see anything loose or pulled out.

Thanks,
jim
