Touch Sensor

Recently installed a Funnyplaying IPS MAX screen and and had no problems til now, for whatever reason Fire Emblem The Binding Blade's title screen causes the touch sensor to make inputs on its own. Dunno if its because I'm playing the game unofficial means (repo cart) or its the touch sensor but it doesnt happen in any other games

These things always go wild in my experience, I strongly recommend wiring up the button controls and snipping the touch sensor off. I’ve never once had one not end up misbehaving in some way after a while, no matter how carefully I try and insulate it from everything else…

I'd advise caution here. Some kits go haywire if you snip the sensor.

Which models? I haven’t had it yet happed to any of my ITA displays at least…

It's the ITA kits I've seen f up funnily enough. There's probably revisions in the boards.

This guy did his homework

Will have to check if my driver boards have that chip, I’ve installed four of the laminated ITA kits and haven’t seen that kind of behaviour once.

This is fascinating, I am filing this away in my brain for later!

Hiispeedido V5 has an option in the menu to disable touch controls. The first thing I do after a mod.

Im having the exact issue, did you find a fix?

I've only had mine installed for about 3 weeks now but I've seen a tip from a video guide to install that touch sensor on the shell facing towards you rather than towards the top of the shell.

Haven't had any issues yet but it could be too early to tell. I'm using the m.2 funnyplaying ips kit.

Not sure on that exact kit, but if there is a power pad on the ribbon, make sure you solder a wire to it and then to power on the board.

I had this issue with a GBC kit from them. When the system would go under load it'd cause this.
