No expert but I would suspect a dodgy connection. |

First thing I tried, all connections seem ok. Funny thing is it always starts up after about 15 minutes then works perfectly. |

You say that when you first start up that the screen comes on but then goes off when you touch it. What happens if you don't touch it, does it stay on or does it go off? |

Looking at it I would say that it's unlikely to be a connection that's failing to the unit as it doesn't fail again until you switch off, it sounds more to me that the issue is with the screen or the unit in that it only fails when you press it. The screen works in a similar way to your smartphone in that there is a digitizer of some description that creates a circuit when pressed, why this doesn't fail again once the unit has been on for some time though is odd. Someone more technical may be able to give a more informed response but this is where I would be looking. |

On Gen 1 touchscreen is there a setting for time out "return to home screen"? Ie if you are in a sub menu and you don't touch anything after a set time it returns to home?

Thank you both, it's at least given me some more things to investigate. I will start by checking the connections to the screen which I haven't yet done. Will post my findings. |

If you need a screen I have one for sale at £45 and if you are near you could always come and try it! |

Well there you go guys. Thanks to 3disco it turned out to be the touch screen all the time. Plugged in the replacement and it's working as it should.
