Omg, thank you so much. I take delivery of the boat on Thursday so I couldn’t even go out and look.

I was able to get to the calibration screen. I think my touch-screen is dead. Gave this about 10 tries each; resetting and recalibrating. It simply will not accept inputs except at the very top edge of the screen.

This was helpful though!

So if the screen is not recalibrating and the only location that it accepts touch is at the top, how do I fix that?

I pulled screen out and cleaned it with iso alcohol

Still not working except at the top of screen

What others have reported is that the touch screen delaminates (from sun exposure) negating the resistance to "touch". I believe that's what happened to my screen (living in FL). Every recalibration it got worse until it totally stopped recognizing "touch".

During the pandemic I ordered a resistive touch TFT screen replacement (ebay China, was $17). Even though I took some measurements, t's (not an exact duplicate) about 1/8" off each dimension and the 4-wire ribbon is an inch short to reach the connector and on the wrong side of the glass (see image).

If you pull the rubber boot (weather seal) from the glass, you'll see how the glass and lcd screen are mated (glued).

My plan is to remove (unglue) the touch glass from the lcd unit (they are two different components). This is not your typical DIY fix. Not in a total rush to get this done. I'll post an after result when I get the nerve to take the next step.

For now I'm using the joystick while we're on the water.

How did it turn out?

Any luck with replacing the touch screen

Does anyone have a unit that was replaced? I work on electronics and if you want to donate the dead unit I’ll tear it down and figure out a fix if it’s possible.

So bought my 2015 ar240 used and the touch screen did not work by touching had to use joystick or hard buttons for everything. Thought we would need a whole new screen but this reset fixed it.

Hold the system control button down for 5 seconds, will enter a hidden screen, scroll to touch screen with joystick, you will have 2 options. Reset screen to factory settings (I tried this and it didn't rectify prob) other options is recalibrate screen. I pushed this and it put X on screen to push (it recommend stylus I used finger) do this for every corner.

It now works, hope this can help someone

This is fantastic news! Can't wait to try this on my screen. ??

Sadly it’s definitely the screens and the one on my boat doesn’t have any non-touchscreen buttons. I got it replaced under warranty but I’m sure it will be a reoccurring problem…

Not seeing any updates to this thread. Any luck here? Top right hand corner of my screen does not work. I have tried calibration several times. Praying someone has a resolution.

 

[Radman7734]

I haven’t had a response yet for an old unit but I have found screens that could potentially fit for a fraction of the cost of replacement. I just need one that I can break down to positively identify the components and test replacement. Someone could get the first unit I repaired but so far no takers.

 

[Myers4501]

That sounds great. You could probably sell them and make some good money if they work properly. I can't remove mine currently since we are using the boat for the summer.

Same issue, top of screen works but bottom is non responsive. Any update on a fix for this?

 

[Radman7734]

Still trying to get a unit that has been replaced for tear down so I can source the parts for repair. The shop should be giving people their old unit back and if I get one I will do a step by step on the repair with sources.
