    Hi Keith,

    Sorry but I’ve actually been in contact with A&H far more than what you are aware of by the sound of it. I’d be more than happy to chat about it if you’d be interested. I will also happily give you screenshots of conversations if you’d like as there is clearly a lot of previous communication that you are unaware of.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi all,

    This bug has been fixed in the V1.5.9 release, as noted here – https://community.allen-heath.com/forums/topic/sq-v1-5-9

    Thanks,
    Keith.

    Hi everyone

    Is there a way to ‘force’ a firmware update from a USB stick without using the touch screen?

    The touchscreen on my SQ5 is has gone completely unresponsive since Saturday.
    When booting up, I was stuck on the login screen, as there was no way to select a user and log in.
    I have now tried a full ‘hard’ reset and I can get into the console because the passwords are gone, but the touch aspect of the screen is still completely unresponsive (the screen itself works fine).

    I’m assuming this is a hardware problem. But I’ve been reading up around here and I would like to try and update to the new firmware before I send it in for repair, to rule out the possibility of this being the software/firmware problem that others have experienced.
    However, obviously, I can’t perform the firmware update through the normal process, as my touch screen doesn’t work.

    Is there another way?

    @rafaela, just for future reference, am I understanding that there is a way? If so, is there a reason not to let us know what it is?

    For everyone with this issue (myself included):
    What brand/type of router do you use?
    How are your IP-settings? (DHCP/static)
    How many clients?
    Does it have internet connection or is it isolated?

    Hi everyone
    An update: helped by A&H’s support service I was able to force the firmware update from a USB key without having a functional touch screen.
    I don’t know why the method for this forced update is not (yet) shared here, but I feel it’s up to A&H and not myself to do so.
    In any case, since this firmware update to V1.5.9, everything is working fine again!

    @sypie, when my touchscreen was unresponsive, I tried several times to reboot with no network cable connected, and it didn’t make a difference. Other people’s mileage may vary, of course.
