Touchscreen partially responsive

MikeHurley · 29th May 2017, 16:05

Has anyone else had issues with Navall unit screen being non responsive in areas and managed to repair touch sensitivity?

I've seen on YouTube where some guys appear to torn down the units to screen and reheated edge adhesive and touch sensitivity returns.

It's just a shame after such large investment in Navall 2 unit it's like faulty with no redress. Anyone on the forum electronically competent to give sound cost effective advice please.

I have exactly the same issue on my very little used Nav II, bottom half of screen non responsive.Died last week. I'm in the process of removing it from the car for further investigation. I will certainly not be using youtube as a source of (often) very dubious remedies.

I've been exchanging email with Sean over the past few days and exchanged a couple more last evening. Sean really wants to take a look at this machine so I've decided to send it off to him. As it's only just been removed from the car it's not a major issue to pack it up and get it off to Jeff. I'll post up the results in due course,

I'll keep you posted once it has arrived Nige.

Mike, why not get in touch with Sean and see if we can assist Sir?

I think I will get in contact and like yourself remove the thing and leave an expert give it the once over, as it seems to the top Right Hand quadrant of my screen is dead.

Considering that Jeff knows the devices. has the facilities and most importantly ( I would assume) has access to spares it's a logical route to take. If (for example) the screen requires replacement where does one source a new one from?
I'm holding back to see what the result is but returning to a single din is an option I am keeping open. It's a confidence issue really. I suppose I may have just been an unlucky one but the Nav wore me down. I reinstalled a new stand-alone dashcam after so many drop-outs by the Nav left me worried that if push came to shove it would fail at the wrong moment. It does seem that maybe I have been the exception rather than the rule. As Sean has said, he'd not still be in business if it was the rule.

Almost the same problem but mines the top half of the screen.

If it's Navall 2's the last I heard is that new screens aren't available. In my experience this happens a lot with 2' and 3's and trust me when I last had one in the car I was in the Lake District where everything has a LL postcode, pushing L did nothing and it was so utterly frustrating if I could have ripped the damn thing out and launched it into Windermere I would have

My life is a much happier place with a Symphony back in the car and a mobile phone telling me where to go/providing some tunes.
