Yesterday my touchscrollers stopped working. It never responds to my touch.
This is what exactly happened:
I wanted to watch an movie. so I browsed trough my library using the touchscroller and found the one i wanted. I opened OQOSettings to set the fan speed to coolest as I wouldn't hear any of the noise because of the headphones and wanted  the processor to cool. I started to watch it but couldn't hold my OQO comfortably. So I went into powersettings and set to do nothing when the screen is slid down. Now it was a lot better but my hand was constantly touching the touchscroller and changing the volume. So I went into OQO Settings and disabled the touchscroller but something in me knew that it wasn't good. I watched the movie and put my OQO in hibernate for the night. After spending the night charging I booted it up again to do some web browsing. I noticed that the touchscroller wasn't working. So i went into OQO manager to put it back on, clicked OK, no change. After that the touchscrollers never worked. I tried everything i could think of except reinstalling.
I tried:
Resetting EC,
Removing and reinstalling Wacom and OQO Manager,
Restoring an backup made with Acronis True Image which restored the entire hard disk back a week,
Tapping and pushing the touchscroller.
I know this happened before but is there anything I can do?
Regards,

When I had my 02 a couple of years ago I did the same thing.  Disabled the touch scroller then re-enabled it.  It never worked again until I sent it back to OQO for repair.  I could never figure out why it broke when disabling it.

Since OQO is out of business that is impossible.
I will just keep on fiddling hoping that it would work again.
SO DO NOT DISABLE TOUCSCROLLERS! THEY WILL NEVER RE-ENABLE! At least don't risk it.
