On the top left, you should see 2 numbers a 3 and some other number. Can you please report what this number is?
Try it a couple a times and make sure it always report the same number.

Done. Only one number all time. Number is 3.
I do it with working Prime, fw 20181016. Should I do it with a non touch working Prime, fw 200116?

Cyrille will no doubt chime in here but logic says that you should indeed do the test with the firmware that is unreliable. If it's an error in the way the firmware detects the hardware then that isn't going to show up with a firmware that works every time!

This number is the "internal HW revision", which correspond to the values of these CPU IO pins described earlier...

My best guess is that the HW detection mechanism is unreliable... Probably due to some delays in the GPIO lines....
Another possibility is that some machines have been badly manufactured with the wrong IO pin selection, but this is a low probability in my opinion...

Thanks,
Cyrille

Mine says 3 1

Just upgraded to fw 20200116.
Update mode numbers:
3 3
Always same.

Hello Cyrille,
Checked several times. Code = 3 3.
Sometimes, while still pressing the Symb key, I saw very short code 3 0.
It was soo very short, I thought I saw code 3 0.
Downgraded to latest beta version.

Serial number 9CJ8210437, July 2018 (order date)

[DrD]

3 1

Same numbers every time it is tried, and the touch screen continues to work with the 20200116 v14425 release ...

My G2 shows code 3, just 3. Also checked several times.
Did the test while in firmware 2018 10 16, I had already rolled back because of the touch issues. Should I try and install the new firmware again to do this?

[Dirk.nl]

Please do Victor.
This helps Cyrille to investigate!

I sent over to Eric at hpcalc.org a new file, so sometime he will stick that up and hopefully anyone with the issue will have it go away. If not, we'll have to do some more.

After setting Update Mode ([ON] & [Symb]):

With FW 20181016 my Prime shows number 3 in the upper left corner.

With FW 20200116 my Prime shows number 3 and after space number 2 rundomly changes to number 1.

[Eric Rechlin]

I have posted the new beta G2 firmware on the Beta page.

[critor]

Had no issue with G2 FW 20200116.

[ON]+[SYMB] shows 3 1.

I have just installed the new (today's) G2 f/w and touchscreen is still not working.

With this f/w installed, running Cyrille's procedure described above, this unit consistently reports:

3 3

on the update mode screen.

Please advise if it's useful to have the update mode info when running the 20181016 f/w version - if so, I can re-flash with prior version and test again.

FCO reset and C format did not help.

Tried new beta version today, did not resolve touchscreen issue.

[On] + [Symb] gives 3 3

Reverted tot previous FW version 2018 Tochscreen OK
[On] + [Symb] gives only 3 in upper left corner.

[Tim Wessman]

Ok thanks. Looks like need to do something a bit more on detection since cant trust just reading those pins. Thanks!
