i've had the headunit just over a year and today i wiped down the screen from the dust build up. i get in several hours later and the touch seems out of calibration, and wont sense where i'm touching or even at all.

can anyone chime in on this? i havent updated software since purchase.

now it goes into function/setting screens without touching the screen.

What did you use to clean it and how hard did you press down on it?

You can try running a calibration but it sounds like you may have damaged the touchscreen digitizer

soft lens wipe dry and didn't press hard, its just dust.

ran calibration, seems a little better...but hard to tell with only couple minutes use.

still doing the same things, any solutions? or do I have to cut my losses

Sounds like touchscreen digitizer needs to be replaced, the part is less than 50 but it not a DIY task if you don't have experience with these units.

Was there any static electricity zap with it?

no zap, I could see the indentation on the screen, its right where the setting anf eq button is, its right at the edge of the ledge of the screen so not sure how that happened,

where can I get the part??

nevermind I found a seller on ebay,

going to double with them for model specifics,

I know someone that's experienced in installing delicate electronics and they've offered to help, thanks for the help, I'll keep posting for the final fix.

so upon closer inspection I found the cause of the problem, I small grain of sand was wedged between the screen and the ledge, managed to get it out, indentation gone screen is back to normal!!!! how's that for DIY, thanks for the input pionara
