Hi,I bought apad from http://www.aliexpress.com/product-gs/314819645-2011-APAD-MG7001-wholesalers.htmlI receive it yesterday. The touch screen won't work. I think maybe the software. I flash it and when it rebbot and in calibration mode... The touchscreen won't work. So, now it stuck in calibration mode.Anybody can help me?

Talk with the dudes you bought it from?

Ran firmware update 6-11 on my iWeb APAD today. Bad flash I guess, since at reboot the device hangs at the screen calibration step. The screen is totally unresponsive and I can?t figure out what to do next.Missing touchscreen driver? Reflash with stock firmware (which I can?t find, by the way)? Any method for recovery?Does anyone have any ideas how to proceed?

Do it on battery

Having the same problem Karl after few days of playing with it, and its now stuck on calibration - even after installing the hybridkangxau and other flash updates....help anyone?

 

[TheTGizmoShop]

Same problem here after a few days - anyone have any ideas? Flash updates don't seem to fix it....

Unplug power and try the calibration only on battery. If not you might have to take it apart and check the ribbon cable. You can use Androidscreencast to bypass the calibration

After i flashed my apad with Hybrid custom firmware for aPad Test 4 i also get a white cross and a non working touchscreen.trying androidscreencast, but so far no luck. Help please. :<edit: i tried 3 roms and all the same :

Sounds like you might have to take it apart to check the connection... See if you can return for exchange first.

well thats rather weird isnt it

. Upgrade firmware (software) and then take it apart to check the hardware.

It worked before, so i don't think a firmware upgrade should trigger a hardware action

I agree. It?s highly unlikely that a firmware update should trigger a hardware problem for many people in the same way. There are at least 2 posts about this at hiapad.com. I think we have to first consider the problem related to flashing of firmware update.

indeed. I tried about everything. For me, it looks like they forgot to enable the touchscreen or the driver. Because when i try androidscreencast, i can fully control the pad on my computer. Only thing that ain't working is the touchscreen.

I had a dead touch screen on arrival. Tried flashing to the latest firmware but to no avail. I could operate the device with a USB mouse though. I shipped it back to the seller for an exchange.

I am also having issues with my touchscreen. I noticed that it stopped working when it wasnt plugged into the wall. After messing with it some more it stopped working all together. I have tried a couple flashes with different firmware. Now im trying the ones on this site. HOPEFULLY ill find an answer. If this dosnt work im going to take it appart and try and see if the ribbon is loose. The person I bought from has not answered me on ebay. (big supprise)

Just wanted to leave an update that I finaly fixed the problem. You have to take the screen off and plugg the touchscreen cable back in. VERY EASY TO DO!! Just heat up the top layer on the touch screen with a hair dryer, sperate it with a knife, unscrew like 10 screws, CARFULLY pull off screen with a suction cup, unplug touchscreen then with tweezers plug back in. Screen is 100% responsive now.

 

[Karlleopold]

Two different problems in this tread, in my opinion. Seems plausible that the dead touchscreen in posts above is hardware related. For us who end up with an unresponsive touchscreen at calibration after fw update and reboot it?s a different issue, probably related to someting related to the flashing procedure or fw update itself.Does anybody know how to find an older firmware than 5-30? Would be interesting to reflash with an older/original firmware.

Just checking: Do you guys have Moonse branded Apads?

 

[Karlleopold]

No, mine is branded iWeb.

 

[Guest]

Do all these issues source to any particular sellers?

 

[tsflaxie]

I had the dead touchscreen issue and what I did is I let my battery run completely dead until the unit turned itself off. I plugged it back in and I can now touch the screen. Not sure how well it is working as I am so relieved that I had to post that at least it is now accepting my touching it. How this helps someone else out.
