I have a the ipronto tsi6400 soon to be the ipronto frizbee!! this Piece of *(^( has never been right. It refuses to calibrate. when i try to calibrate the unit i get a calibration failed when hitting the crosshairs. before this issue i was getting the freeze ups but the hard reset would fix it. i called phillips to have them tell me the unit is out of warrenty and it would cost me $230. usd to fix??? how did they pull that magic number out of the air?? they havent even seen the unit yet to know whats wrong? Then they refused to answer this simple question. After i take off the 5 torx screws .. how do i open the unit without cracking any plastic clips that may be holding the back and the face together.? i can not find any scematic manuals anywhere? How do i get to the ts screen cable to see if its connected correctly?

You've got mail.

Update the forum if you solve the calibration issue, I have the same from time to time...

Hi allseer,
I also have (little) problems with my iPronto TSi6400.
My screen somethings has disturtions and moves 1 or 2 inches to the top, so no input is possible. After pressing somewhere on the left downside of the ipronto, screen corrects and everythings ok again.
I tried to open the remote (unscrewing the 5 torx-screws), but I could not remove anything of that thing.
I opened the front-side (some platic-holders broke - I rearranged with double-sided glueband later :-( ) but no chance to correct the failure.
So, don't open the front-part of that remote !!!

Did you find any solution to open the backside until now ?

Best regards

Higgi

Well All,
I was able to get the Ipronto apart successfully without breaking anything.. seems there are some plastic teeth that need alittle "convincing" to open... once i got it all apart.. i thought i would be able to reconfirm the cable connect to the TS Screen. no luck.. I was able to check the entire unit... physically to confirm no visiable issue. none found.. after getting it all back together... still the same issue though .. calibration failure.. tried different icf. files, tried reloading the latest firmware.. tried the default icf. the only thing left i can think of is to try an older firmware option?? anyone know where i can get one???

After having the calibration error and my touch screen not in line with the graphic hotspots I bought another non-working (bad power plug, but with good touch screen) ipronto on ebay and wondered if anyone successfully replaced the touch screen with their units? I thought I would take my good remote with bad screen and replace with the non-working one I bought with the good screen. Let me know. thanks.

might want to try just replacing the power plug instaed.

I guess you mis-understood. It is the power INPUT that is bad on the new remote. Melted. Not the plug. So I bought it to place it's screen into mine with the screen that will not calibrate. Please advise if anyone has done this or how to do this?

ive fixed 2 out of 3 broken ipronto's in the last 4 months. its pretty easy after opening the first one. we still have 1 at the office for parts. start by removing all visible screws. start prying apart the case using a small flathead screwdriver, near the battery location and move towards the top. the top is the hardest part to pry apart (near IR) so save that for last. inside there are 4 screws holding in the touchscreen, 1 screw for the stylus. unplug all the ribbon connections (battery, power to screen, video to screen, bottom hard buttons ribbon, side soft buttons, side hard buttons. the video to screen ribbon came loose and fixed the problem on 2 of the ipronto's (the screen colors were all screwed up-for lack of a technical term). reconnect the ribbons, reconnect battery to test. i wish i took a pic when it was apart.

the battery connects via a ribbon and the ribbon was charded on 1 remote. also found liquid inside the ipronto. looked like someone spilled a liquid on it and caused a short.

if the problem is the recharging cable, the connector may have broke the soldering points inside.
