Description
If you find that the touch screen of your Omnia.9 MkII is "off", it can be calibrated using the procedure below.
Solution
This is only applicable to Omnia.9 MkII units. Earlier units used a different display. You can verify this in System / System Status / System Information. "Hardware Version:" must say "MkII" or MkII+"
Plug in a keyboard to the USB port of the Omnia 9
Activate Maintenance Mode
To activate maintenance mode
Press Alt+F4
Go to the Windows desktop
Use arrow keys and go to the uwfoff application on the desktop. Press Enter
Use the arrow keys and go to "Restart Application" on the desktop. Press Enter
The system will reboot. When you see the yellow "maintenance" in the upper left-hand corner, press CTRL
You should now have the unit in maintenance mode.
Calibrate the Screen
Press the Windows key
Type "calibrate" and Press the down arrow on the keyboard until you get to settings, click Enter
Press the down arrow on the keyboard until you select “Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input” and click Enter
Click TAB until you are highlighted over the reset button and press Enter
NOTE: at this point, the touchscreen should be working! Press around on the screen to confirm!
Close out of the window
Use arrow keys and go to uwfon application on desktop
Use arrow keys and go to restart application on desktop
If the issue still persists, check the following things
Does the bracket of the Omnia 9 screen touch the screen itself, if so take the bracket out of the chassis and remove the screen. Physically bend the bracket so the screen and bracket are not touching anymore
Also, there should be some plastic washers that are on the bracket between it and the screen. This is to create a gap between the screen and the bracket to avoid touching
