Radiant P1520 TouchScreen Problems

[dennis95624]

I have a Radiant P1520 and the screen is getting blurred, double imaged, and unreadable. If I VNC to the terminal from the BOH, the image is perfect. Is this a sign of a bad touch screen? Is there anything I should try before swapping screens?

I have a P1510 with a bad motherboard but the screen is good. Can I use the screen from a P1510 on to a P1520? Are the drivers the same. Thanks for any help!

You should be able to use the screen just fine. Sounds like the lcd is going bad. also verify the connections are in all the way. Otherwise use the other screen.

Connections look good and I did swap the power cord as it was pinched and thinking it created noise, but no changes to the screen

Did the screen go bad from a heat problem? I did notice the small fan on the side upper left was not turning. I opened the case and swapped it with new one but still nothing. I have never noticed it working in the 4 years I had the radiant p1520. Does the fan work on demand?

Thank you so much for your reply!

It could also be a bad driver in the operating system. I would try re-imaging a new drive first.
