The touchpanels are not designed to be directly repaired. Could be a physical problem with the membrane contacts for Start/Pause, or a problem with the electronics in the membrane layer (which connects to the machine control board via ribbon cable). Access would require peeling off the overlay which is not intended to be done and pretty much destroys it. There are currently three on eBay. Two claim to be NIB, one used. Check with John/Combo52, he may have some spares. |

Is this tech sheet available anywhere online? I haven't turned anything up in searches. |

I had the same problem attempting to test my panel when it went dead several years ago. Could not get any reading on anything. I had two spares and also couldn't get anything on them so swapped one in for lack of any choice, which it worked. No one here offered any suggestions on testing methodology when I brought that issue to attention. |
