Anyone had issues with their screen failing to calibrate and then in your ICF the button hot spots seem to slide down or when you press one a different one activates? I have reloaded the ICF with no luck?

Uuah - never heard that! That sounds very strange!

Hmm, I thought you have already done the "common procedures":

- reset
- recalibrate touchscreen
- load a fresh, new ICF to iPronto with only a few buttons (just to check that your ICF is fine)

Best regards,

Tried everything but a firmware download.

I can connect to websites on it just fine and downlaod ICF's but it would not connect to the update server? Is the firmware server down?

Once I reboot, try to calibrate screen, it says calibration failed, then I reload my ICF and all my button hotspotss have shifted down about 1/4 inch???

Do you think mine is shot? I have only had it about 4 months... But I bought it on ebay so I doubt warranty can do anything.

I saw an iPronto on eBay that indicated it had screen calibration problems, was this the one you bought? Anyway, I'm afraid that the only thing can really do is send it to Philips for repair. I have no idea what the cost would be though.

Well, It is fixed and I do not know how?

I tired several times to downlaod the firmware update and it failed each time. I finally shut off the flag for update option and it did some type of longer reboot. Once back up the screen now works fine again, but I have not tried to calibrate.

(Not the one on ebay that had calibration issues.)

Huh?

To be sure it's fixed, I'd try the screen calibration routine again. Unless you think doing so may start the problem up again.

I thought I might, but as you just said, I did not as I did not want to screw anything up again. Not going to try and fix what is not broken at this point. You know!
