Hi Guys, Using a HOG 3 and the right hand touch screen died is there a quick command to flip screens? As all the saving shut down etc comes up on the right hand screen. Cheers Nigel
Not sure about you guys but I think it's unlikely the screen has failed completely.
this poster can accept no responsibility for the actions of the postee(?) but:
Most likely a poor connection at an end of the touch screen loom.
I my experience, more often than not a screen comes back, until it goes back in the truck anyway, with a medium-firm (well-practised now) slap to the back of the offending screen - no tools required. probably not the best thing to do when the hard drive is busy.
Failing that, with the console unplugged you might remove the small aluminium plate underneath the hinged screens, not the one with the holes in, the other side, and check that the two cables marked touch 1 and 2 or similar are securely connected to the main board.
Failing that, and what you really should have done in the first place is return the console to have it serviced by a competent trained technician.
Thanks guys, but wouldn't it be nice if there was some sort of pig + command that would swap the screens from left to right etc. Then if that ever happened you could save, shut down and even set up an external monitor to keep you going till you can get a replacement console or it serviced. Cheers Nigel
Are you saying: 1: LCD display shows an image properly, but the touch feature doesn't work. --or-- 2: The LCD itself does not display anything?
I read your post as case 1, and that's the solution I described.
I would strongly advise *against* hitting the back of the console. Any force that's hard enough to deform the back panel and to re-seat the connector also risks cracking the LCD or dislodging one of the flex cables internal to the display.
Sometimes the display driver cable can work loose. If you're comfortable working inside your console you can re-attach it.

There is also the USB Controller PCB and the two Backlight PCBs on either side of the display. A hit behind the displays could also cause damage to one of these which is more time consuming and costly to replace than removing the LCD Panel and checking the cables properly.
