Leica TS12 and accessories, Non-working touch screen on the TS
I didn’t see an equipment problems category so I hope I am posting in the right place. Some of you helped me along in my search for a Total Station with advice, many thanks for that help. On Wednesday I picked up a Leica TS12, with a CS15, and an MH16 handle, with a 10 day return privilege at a dealer; all 3 are 2014-2015 vintage and in decent physical shape (except for the repaired prism, known problem, thanks in particular for the help on that!). All seemed well in the demo at the shop, robotics work, etc, and with my preliminary checkout of the pieces here, until I realized that when running alone, without the CS15 connected, that the TS12 touchscreen was not working, either with a stylus or with my finger.
Still not working after I went into the menus with the function keys, etc, and found a toggle ostensibly for turning the touchscreen on and off. No effect.
I tried all the usual computer tricks: rebooting, on off, standing on my head while reading Jane Austen, etc.
All I have tried seems to be working when using the CS15, etc, but nothing seems to activate the TS12 touchscreen. It is the same whether they are tied in or using the TS12 alone.
Has anyone encountered this problem? I am trying to get in touch with Allen Precision whom they recommended for any future service and with the Leica rep that my seller deals with (but he is not involved with the total station side, only with lasers and related). Does anyone have a contact who might answer?
Many thanks, hoping to make this deal work.
Jim
