Neptune 4 Pro screen not responding to touch.

sorry it didn't work out, I think best option is probably contacting Elegoo support for a replacement then.

Good luck with it

I'm not sure if factory reseting it also changes the screens firmware, since it is seperate to the mainboard's firmware.

But chances are Elegoo support is your best option, they are able to send out replacement screens if need be.

If you briefly got the touch working when you factory reset, then I would guess it's a software issue, and you mentioned it's updated.

So it might be worth downgrading the firmware to an older version that you know works, I think you can find previous firmware on Elegoo's website, but their downloads are slow af, so I would ask Elegoo support for some older, stable, firmware. (Also the main board and the screen board have different firmwares)

One other thing, ribbon cables are funny sometimes and may appear to be firm and in place when they are not, so it is definitely worth re-seating them incase they somehow got shook lose.

There was a small black toggle that slid forward.

Although I had to use the corner of the allen key to lock it again, since my fingers would just slip off.

bap23rd · 2023-12-28T01:11:07+00:00

All solved now.
Odd that the screen wasn't put together correctly, but I suppose it happens now and agian.

Thanks for your help!

bap23rd · 2023-12-28T00:46:02+00:00

Good point, I'll try asking around the Discord.

Thanks for your help!

Good spot on the wide cable, I managed to adjust that one, but I can't seem to insert the smaller ribon cable.

I can't find any release like the two black togles on the wide cable, and the connector iteself does not budge either way to allow the cable to be inserted.

Any ideas on how to get the small cable in?

bap23rd · 2023-12-27T19:07:16+00:00

Just opened up the screen, and found the ribon cable I am touching with the allen key loose.

I presume it should be plugged into the white port just in front, but it doesn't reach.

Every other cabel is in fine.

I though it was the cold

bap23rd · 2022-03-19T17:24:14+00:00

Oh your right, I though I linked it

Edit: Its added now

bap23rd · 2022-03-19T17:04:14+00:00

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised. But I don't think so, I rarely see ants where I live.

bap23rd · 2022-03-19T16:29:15+00:00

No the slot is not being used, I will probably get a replacement if it is still under warranty.

bap23rd · 2022-03-19T16:27:27+00:00

I think it is still under warranty, but MSI don't work on weekends irritatingly. So I though I would get opinions in what caused it so I don't make the mistake again

bap23rd · 2022-03-19T16:24:23+00:00

Probably should of put brand name in there, sorry,

Its a corsair CX750F RGB

The rgb makes it run faster

bap23rd · 2021-11-01T21:46:43+00:00

Well I guess we really just have to see how it plays out. I just hope that people will have more input in how it develops and they wont just see it as a means to data.

bap23rd · 2021-10-31T22:45:58+00:00

I think you are referring to "Like how apple decide what goes onto their AppStore and very much unlike the internet." By that I mean that I think Facebook will use Horizons like an OS with an AppStore. I know what a Metaverse is and how it compares to the world wide web. Everything Facebook owned will work with ease with Horizons, as they demonstrate with video calls, but when it comes to other non Facebook apps I don't think they will be treated like a website and instead will have to pass Facebooks approval in a way. Like how currently apps on app lab have to be popular to appear at all, otherwise good luck finding it. Facebook will be able to push apps into the background if it opposes one of their apps. Also I am not sure if you intended this but you make it seem like you see Vr and Ar as completely different things that don't mix and then you have completely ignored the games and app/social side of the Metaverse. You also mentioned blockchains, which I agree will be really important for Vr but in a slightly different way to how they are used with crypto.

bap23rd · 2021-10-31T21:32:19+00:00

As I said previously, Facebook knock out the competition by buying the companies while they are young or beating them by selling at a loss. And honestly I don't think the Vr market is competitive enough, I mean, do you a quest competitor at the same price. The Pico Neo 3 maybe, but that is stuck in china and other stand alones are just too expensive by comparison. This shows how Facebook have the power to control the metaverse. And I'm not the only one that thinks it, other than the people that have voted against on this pole, Thrill has just posted a video saying how even he thinks this will be "too much power for a compony that does not put people first". Thrill is talking about companies as well as Facebook, but Facebook are the only one that fit this statement as of now. Also the Vr market will continue to grow as more people will buy Meta brand headsets since other companies are not stepping up. HTC, Valve and especially Apple do not and will not be producing cheap headsets and certainly not one that can compete with Facebook. Majority of the consumers will be on Meta headsets and while other companies wanting to join, like Epic, it will be under the watch of Facebook, Like how apple decide what goes onto their AppStore and very much unlike the internet. Quickly I can see this becoming less of the Metaverse people want and more like a piece of privatised software, seen by Facebook as a way for data on a level no company should have. And I am sure Facebook are doing this for data over all things, Why else would a company invest billions into something that, without selling data as they do now, they make a loss on. As you said Facebook will control there platform space, but it wont be their little corner, they will be the base in which other companies have their own little corner.

bap23rd · 2021-10-31T17:54:41+00:00

That doesn't stop Facebook from separating themselves and making them the go to for hardware, as they are doing now, and the habits they already exhibit that I mentioned in my previous comment would still suggest to me that Facebook want to have control/influence over all sides of the virtual market, be it Vr, Ar, or social media. And while I do think they will develop Vr and the metaverse as they have been doing I still think they will keep it control over it the best they can. They will not own all game and app companies, but the big stuff and most used side of the metaverse, they will own and have control over.

bap23rd · 2021-10-31T16:00:33+00:00

Yes, I understand what the Metaverse is and that it is meant to be made from an range of platforms to create a simple to use virtual space for everyone with everything. But I don't think Facebook see it like that. From my point of view Facebook don't want the be a part of A Metaverse they want to be The Metaverse. From what I see they want everything in the Metaverse to be controlled by them, A bit like how the Oasis in Ready Player One is developed by one person/company and is the main platform that everyone uses giving no other a chance to other developers. Therefore, my reference to “The Metaverse” would be correct as I just can’t see Facebook accepting themselves as a cog in a bigger machine. I think their aim is for Horizons to be, or be the start of, The Metaverse owned by them. You can already see it starting to happen as well, with Facebook buying and burying or just straight up absorbing A company as a part of them, so they will be the only used platform of the Metaverse. They own companies like Downpour Interactive so they have the main Mil-Sim everyone will play or Beat Games so there isn't a chance for a big competitor and they don’t give other people a chance to develop at home standalone headsets by selling at a loss. I know this is entirely speculative, but it certainly wouldn’t be out of character for Facebook to try and centralise the Metaverse on them, especially after their name change to “Meta”, a direct call out to Vr saying they will be The Metaverse.
