Hi Guys,

I´m in the same shoe, 7 years old Kindle PW1, perfectly works, except the touchscreen. When it works, its flawless, but often it does not register touches. I´ve get it apart and there is no physical damage, like broken ribbon or blackened connector. I´ve tried to move ribbons a bit, but no effect. I have the impression that touching the edges had effect, but nothing consistent. After jailbraking I see messages like

Code:

i2c-adapter i2c-1: E mxc_i2c_wait_for_tc:tx_success_fail::ACK not received

Do you know if this has anything to do with the touchscreen controller?

I´m thinking of installing kindle-untouchable so we can still use it, I do not like the idea of throwing out.

Are there better workarounds?
