How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before working on the control panel.
Steps to restore control function:
- Dry out moisture: If the panel was recently cleaned with liquid, leave the unit unplugged for 24 hours in a dry environment to allow moisture to evaporate.
- Inspect panel surface: Check for cracks or delamination of the touch surface. Replace the touch control panel assembly if damaged.
- Access and reseat cable: Remove the bezel and gently reseat the flex cable between the touch panel and main PCB.
- Clean contacts: Use a small amount of contact cleaner on the flex connector contacts if they appear oxidized.
- Test operation: Reassemble and power on. If random or no key presses persist, the touch controller IC or panel is likely defective and should be replaced.
