Re: 

Touchscreen Replacement and the NOVRAM Cable 

If you have to replace a touchscreen for any reason, be sure that the new touchscreen comes with its 

own NOVRAM cable (see Figure 1), and be sure to use this new cable with your new touchscreen. Every 

NOVRAM cable contains calibration data in the NOVRAM connector, and this data is unique to its own 

particular touchscreen. If a NOVRAM cable is used with any other touchscreen than the one it was 

specifically manufactured with, the touchscreen calibration will be off and it will not work properly.  

Additionally, when buying a new touchscreen, be sure that the seal on the connector between the 

NOVRAM cable and the touchscreen ribbon (see Figure 1) is not broken. If it is broken, it may be an 

indication that the NOVRAM cable is not calibrated for that particular touchscreen. If you receive a 

touchscreen with the seal broken or missing the NOVRAM cable, please contact your supplier to resolve 

the issue.
