I've got two DSi consoles that have lost their touch screen reading capability. I know the digitizers themselves are good, so it seems whatever has happened is mobo related. Has anyone encountered and fixed this issue?
You can try that, if you aren't worried about messing up those tiny connections.Is it worth just passing an iron over the pads to make sure everything is connected properly?
No luck with this, unfortunately. I manipulated the pins and that didn't seem to have any effect. I think my only real option at this point is to try and to a reflow.

Do the pins on the connectors also look fine? Maybe you could try bending them out a bit, or pushing the connector down while the console is turned on to see if anything changes.
i had dirt between casing and touchscreen once, it triggerd a touch outside scope so it doesn't read anything else touched, good cleanup did the trick.No luck with this, unfortunately.

I've got some better brushes coming tomorrow, I'll give that a go. I'm really pleased with this forum, it's really great to get so much help!i had dirt between casing and touchscreen once, it triggerd a touch outside scope so it doesn't read anything else touched, good cleanup did the trick.
Alas, no luck. I'll try a re-solder this weekend and see what happens!i had dirt between casing and touchscreen once, it triggerd a touch outside scope so it doesn't read anything else touched, good cleanup did the trick.
Too bad, well was my best guess.Alas, no luck. I'll try a re-solder this weekend and see what happens!
Yeah, it was worth a shot! I'll let you know!Too bad, well was my best guess.
I'm sure it didn't cost too much to try.
Hope you'll find a working solution soon and keep us informed.
