Spudger (for easier connector removal)

Step 7. Check functionality off the Screen


Power on the machine and verify that the screen lights up and responds to touch inputs.


If the screen does not function correctly, double-check all connections to ensure the cables are properly seated. If needed, try reseating the Touch Screen cable before testing again.


If everything is working as expected, the installation is complete.
