    I have a non responsive touch screen and have followed the unplugging and re placing files on the sd card instructions to no avail. The graphic is ok but no control at all. I have checked the edges for foreign bits and nothing found.

    Can someone advise how I contact customer support to resolve this please.

    in the meantime i presume that it is possible to use the octoprint to set the z axis up.

    You should be able to use OctoPrint for the printer control even with the LCD not working. j

    I had that happen once, and actually ran an entire kg spool of filament through it using only octoprint control. It was ultimately suggested to me to remove and re-seat all the cables between the Pi and the LCD, and fortunately that worked.

    Thanks for all the advice . Usually , thsis has hapened a couple of times, reseating cables has worked but this time no joy. I managed to print a part last night regardless and will try re doing the cables again before calling the support number.

    @Jerry RoBo 3D

    Let's let Jerry know because (sadly) sometimes email is not the best approach with their support.
    I hope it has improved :)

    Yea, I used to have to make those calls from the UK to the US and it was no better then either :)
