FAQ:

Question: Signs that your Proface ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD Front Overlay Touch Digitizer Glass HMI or touchscreen control will soon fail. What signs should you be looking out for if you want to prevent a failure happening?

Answer: Here are 5 sure-fire signs that your ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD Touchscreen Panel Protective Film HMI will fail.
1 – The ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD screen becoming dull or flickering. This is often seen as an annoyance to the operator, but in truth it's the ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD Panel Glass Front Overlay HMI telling you the backlights are about to fail. This can happen over a period of months before the backlights totally fail. Plenty of time to arrange a spare unit to be fitted or to remove the ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD Protective Film Touch Glass HMI for refurbishment.
2 – Lines appear across or down the ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD screen. This means the LCD is failing, it will probably be just a few lines that appear at first and the operator can still continue to use the HMI, but a failure will happen.
3 – The ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD Touch Screen Front Overlay HMI needs a few goes at powering-up. This is probably one of the most common signs of failure if your ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD Touch Screen Front Overlay HMI needs power-cycling to start then it's indicative of an internal power supply failing.
4 – The ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD touch screen becomes less responsive. ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD touch screens are wearing parts; you may find that an area of a touch screen has stopped working or a soft-button needs several ‘presses’ to respond. This is a sign the touch screen element is failing. A big tip here, and pardon the pun but never use the tip of a screwdriver or pen to operate a touchscreen, it will scratch very easily or shatter the LCD glass. We see this all too often and it can lead to an instant failure of the ST-3301B 3580207-02 AST3301-B1-D24 PFXST3301BAD Touch digitizer Front Overlay HMI. You wouldn't use a screwdriver or a pen to operate your smartphone, would you?
5 – Key-presses don't always work. Keys such as 'process start', 'enter' or 'passcode keys' can have the heaviest use on an HMI, they are very often seen as the keys with the legends worn away, but, ‘everyone knows that's the start button'. Over time these will fail and the operator may just have to press a little harder than he did before. This is a sign the switch is failing and a new switch or a whole new membrane may be needed.
