pinkoos Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 So I have 2 old 7” touchscreens: 1 in a bathroom that constantly reboots (see thread somewhere down below) and 1 in the kitchen that is almost either always just black or on a screen that says press to configure - when I hold down on the screen it shows that it’s not connected to the director, so I connect it and then it works for a little while before going either black or back to the configure screen Now, if I swap the 2 touchscreen locations something weird happens - the kitchen one works fine in the bathroom location (and, the bathroom touchscreen with the reboot problem continues to reboot in the kitchen) Any ideas why the kitchen touchscreen seems to work when I move it to the bathroom location?

South Africa C4 user Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 A loose connection which only manifests when a given plug (mis)matches with a certain socket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Could be network cable to kitchen has an issue, or the back box has an issue. Swap the back boxes, and check the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkoos Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 But wouldn't that cause an issue with the other touchscreen too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen sounds like a bad back box or wire or switch port, and the bathroom is a bad screen as it's same broke both places.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkoos Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Yeah, I'm convinced about the bathroom screen being bad, but wondering why that screen wouldn't exhibit the same behavior as the kitchen screen when it is installed in the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find putting the kitchen back, it behaves again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkoos Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Yeah, I thought of that too I put it back last night and it's back to its old ways (meaning black screen/configure screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
