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've noticed on my 5500 that I have to hit the calibration crosshairs right on target, or it just keeps looping around.
I think it's due to the low screen resolution.

Great thought. Now that I think about it, it has you tap the positions, and then sorta rechecks their accuracy.

If he hits the exact same spots each run through, then maybe the screen is scratched at those spots and he could try purposefully tapping at, say, a mm or two to the side and see what happens.
