Field PC Touch Screen Issues
1. Introduction
If
your touch screen is no longer functional on your field PC, this can
occur for various reasons. Firstly this can occur when the screen is
damaged or it can also occur if dirt has entered into the gap between
the screen and the field PC plastic casing.
2. Trying to solve this problem
Firstly
please remove the battery from the field PC for 30 seconds and then
reinsert the battery and attempt to turn the field PC on.
If removing the battery has not solved the problem please inspect the gap between the field PC and the plastic casing for any dirt build up. If dirt build up is present you can gently try to remove this build up with a fine brush or tooth brush. If this does not work and you believe that the issue is caused due to dirt build up the field PC can be returned to Soil Instruments who can clean the field PC more effectively to try and resolve the issue.

Warning:
Be sure to use a gentle sweeping action along the length of the screen,
attempting to flick the dirt out and away from the gap rather than
pushing the dirt further in.
- If
the above does not allow the screen to function and you have RPP and
your In-Port database files that you require to get information from or
copy to your computer, a software program is available which allows
control of the field PC through the computer. Please download the
software from the following link:
Please
install the software on a computer which has successfully been
connected to the field PC previously. Once you have installed the
software please connect your field PC to your computer, turn it on and
open My Mobiler. You will then be able to navigate around your field PC
using your computer to any files you require.
Tip: We recommend that the software is installed within the Program Files folder and not the default desktop location.
If you require further information on processes such as how to copy your In-Port database to your computer, articles can be found in the Inclination section and then navigating to your field PCs section.
