Fault diagnosis
Answer a few questions to narrow down the cause. The steps follow the order technicians actually use: rule things out from the outside in, from cheap to expensive.
What to do
Capacitive touch is very sensitive to water and coverings
- Dry it completely, including the bezel around the screen edge
- Remove thick films — anything over 1mm blunts capacitive touch
- Users wearing thick gloves need glove-capable touch or a resistive screen
- Some machines have a water-rejection mode that ignores touches caused by water
Before opening the machine. Disconnect power, wait for capacitors to discharge, and photograph the current wiring. If the machine is under warranty, call us first — opening it yourself may void the warranty.
