Likely causes, most useful checks first
- Missing or mismatched touch USB connection.
- External USB extension failure.
- Host detection issue.
- Panel touch subsystem fault if local touch also fails.
Safe checks
Test local touch
Use the panel's own interface to confirm whether the touch frame responds.
What the result means: Local touch working narrows the issue to the external path.
Match video and touch ports
Use the RS service/user documentation for the exact generation and confirm the labelled touch USB path matches the selected source.
What the result means: Correct the external connection and retest.
Use a direct cable
Bypass hubs, wall plates and extenders with a known-good USB cable.
What the result means: If this works, the external signal path needs service.
