 |  Serious problem – needing help
My zodiac was working perfectly until a few days ago. Inexplicably the digitized lost precision (calibrating was useless) – soft resetting was more than enough to solve the issue. As it became more and more frequent imprecise tapping (after just a few minutes of use) I hard reset the unit. This solved the issue for a few hours.
Again the unit had digitizer issues – I had to tap almost 5 mm above the icon – I tried to calibrate, soft reset, and nothing. So, I hard reset the unit again.
Well … It is impossible to calibraye the unit after the hard reset – tapping on the X results in nothing – it cycles over and over again. Soft resetting without calibrating takes me to a situation where I cannot navigate with taps or any of the buttons or commands.
Any ideas … or … gasp … the zodiac is dead?
Thank you very VERY much for any help

| Ack! 
I was going to suggest e-mailing Jim at Olympic Systems - They were the outsourced repair company for Zods - But their domain seems to have been hijacked
Anyone know how to contact them now? | |

| I managed to launch digie - but the appl was not able to calibrate the unit; I also launched powerdigi but could not make it calibrate the unit; removing the battery or exhausting it did not work either. I looked at the connections (as indicated by zaoin). It all looks "normal".
At this point I am looking for another Zodiac 2
... this one? resquiecat in pace
Thank you to all that tried to help me
