5500 Error - Will No Longer Calibrate? Options

[victorhooi]

heya,

I just dug my Z-5500 out of storage after a long hiatus, and flashed it with Qtopia 2.1.2.

Upon starting up, I tapped the screen once to start the setup, then went through the calibration procedure. However, no matter how many times I performed calibration, it simply repeated all over again.

Thinking it was a problem with the ROM, I flashed it again with OZ 3.5.4 as well, with the same result (calibration kept on looping).

This is a very strange error, but hopefully the machine is usable somehow - any suggestions?

Thanks,
Victor

I checked the version with cat /proc/deviceinfo/revision and I got 3.1
The 2.78 is from the bottom of the screee when it boots up just before I hit / to go into the console mode.

I am using the AC adapter when I try all these items.

I have reflashed the Sharp ROM 3.1 from CF card and that has not helped.

The console function seems to be working fine. I just can't get past the calibration screen on boot up.

Could this be a hardware problem? It does recognize that I have tapped the screen, it clicks and moves to the next position.

Thanks
Jon
