Onyx Boox M96 -- certain parts of screen no longer detecting the stylus

daaronr · 06-04-2018, 06:36 PM

I've been using this device well for several months. All of a sudden I notice that along a middle portion of the screen it is no longer detecting my stylus. When I start a line elsewhere on the screen, it detects it's continuation into these areas, but it no longer senses when I initiate a mark in these parts of the screen.

A big problem for note-taking, as key buttons cannot be reached (esp the "add" button) to insert an annotation.

The screen still views perfectly.

Anyone have suggestions for fixing this problem? Not sure if it's hardware or software at fault. I bought this used via Ebay, so I don't have any sort of warranty.

It might be due to small barely visible scratches that onyx devices tend to get, in which case you probably cant fix it. You could try cleaning the screen. My stylus for n96ml was having problems and I wiped with some lcd wipes, and the problem disappeared. But otherwise I don’t know, sorry.

Thanks. Do you think replacing the screen would fix this stylus sensitivity issue?
