Hm.. my artemis after 6 month perfect working is partially dead.
Touchscreen doesn't work, suddenly.
It works only for one touch and you should always press on/of button to engage this one touch.:(
This problem persist after reflashing...:confused:

Mine does the same thing. I have to grab it and sort of flexing it to put tension on the board (Iguess) and than works while I am squeezing it. After i release it it works for a while but once I put it down on the table and leave it for a few minutes it'll stop working again. I think it some sort of connection problem I am gonna take it apart and check the board circuit board for dry solder or cracked soldering points. Can't think of anything else.

can you open your device

if you can then remove your screen you find touch screen connector going behind to your screen. in steel back panle of screen you find yellow tape is stick there remove the tape and resolder the touch screen connector

if it doesn't work then replace the touch screen panle


Thanks

try to clean between the screen and plastic cover with a sharp and thin tool lika a razor.sometimes debris like sand and dust will stick between and keep the screen pressed.
worked for me
Thanks

I had it taken apart and there was no sand or any debris there. I had not checked the yellow tape but I 'll take it apart again and see if it'll help. I still think it's just a connection issue. Crack in the soldering or some other stuff. I am gonna look at them with a magnifying glass maybe I'll see something.
Tochscreen is just a piece of glass. I don't think anything can go wrong with that unless it's leaking somewhere. So will see later on today.
