I have a megatouch maxx game that when it comes up for ready to play, I touch the game I want to play but it does not repond. Now if I come closer to the bottom right of the screen, it selects a game but it is the wrong game. I have changed the touchscreen contrlloer but still have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

David

My reel touch does this occassionally and I go to the calibration screen in the menu under LCD settings and reset it. Does your game have this option?

it does, but on the calibration screen when I put my finger on the screen to move the curser, it also responds wrong.

Do you just touch the screen where the Xs are or do you slide your finger across the screen? On mine it has an X in each corner and one in the middle. I just touch each one as it highlights them and then save the changes. I'm not at all familiar with your type of game, so just guessing here. Could be that you have a bad touchscreen I guess. What's the temperature in the room where the game is? Cold temps will have a huge effect on operation too.

on mine, you have to touch the X, then you have to do so again one or two more times. After that you touch the X and move it across the screen.

Hmmm, if it"s warm enough in the room for normal operation I guess I would suspect a bad screen or connection between the screen and controller, but like I said, I have no experience with your particular type of machine. Hopefully we'll get other opinions here soon

One hand on some metal part of the machine, other hand for touch screen and see what happens.

Also make sure that the bezel around the monitor isn't pressing down hard on the edges of the screen -- you can get some weird results when it is.

If you are using a used touch screen, after calibrating it still is not right, you more than likely have a bad touch screen. The controllers do not have anything to do with the actual spot on the screen you are touching. That is all in the touchscreen glass itself. A bad controller is more than not no response from touching. If your inaccuracy in touching is consistent, like always a half inch left of what you want, I found a way to correct that. If that is the case, when you go to calibrate, touch the X to the opposite distance you are off. Say it is  half inch too far left, when you calibrate, touch the x half inch to the right. Other than that you need to change the touchscreen.  I'm less than an hour from where merit was in philly, so I work on these things a few times a week. Scott

make sure you have a good ground on the game
