Mine seemed quite unresponsive at first too but now it is fine. I initially checked the cables were all seated correctly and they were. It just seemed to improve the more it was used, I wondered if it was the screen getting cleaned a few times that improved things - dunno! But now it works as expected.
Vesuvius touch display not responding
I played with mine for a while now and it seems to be much better so needs a bit of practice at my end

I have checked the cables and plug sockets and all seem ok. Just checking the screen fixings. I don’t hold up much hope at the moment. It seems to be the centre top and bottom positions which are intermittent to say the least.
Have you had the machine on ans off a few times?
@DavecUK is there a reset on these?
I know you can adjust the screen sensitive
Meldrew can you take a vid? Failing that, email me and ill give you my number for a WhatsApp vid. Etc

Not yet.

OK imaghine there are 6 zones (well in fact they are), press in the middle of a zone, if you are at the very edge or just out it might not register.
If you count 1 to 6 left to right, zone 1 takes a second or so longer than the others to respond or used to. Long story. The zones may take a wile to respond so don’t tap, lightly touch (slight pressure and hold. A quick tap and it may not register…(mistouch prevention)
I just tried again and it worked after a couple of tries.
A video definitely better than a thousand words. As a 3+ years user I see immediately that you press it like a phone screen whereas I hold my finger against the screen lightly for maybe half a second for every press and have no issue with it responding.
PaulL I think I must have tried every possible combination of ways to get it to work to no avail. I have dismissed user error as some areas respond ok. It has been mainly the two centre top and bottom areas that have been the issue.I used to service catering equipment and had many hours of fun trying to get some of our oven touch screens to work. So luckily I have the patience. I was up at 05.30 as I could not sleep and first thing it did not respond kept trying left it for a while tried again and it responded ok. I have sent Paolo a message so he is aware. Just have to monitor it. Thanks for the feedback. When you have got to the stage that you are questioning your sanity another prospective is appreciated.
Sure and sorry to hear it, funnily enough I just tried all areas of my screen a few minutes ago to compare and sure there are one or two deadspots but nothing that impairs functionality. Good luck with it!
PaulL Deadspots are because the screen is older tech and Zoned into 6 areas that respond to touch. You have to ideally be in the middle of those zones. The top left zone takes a little longer than the others, or used to due to its usage as a long press zone, not sure it was ever programmd out.
