Touchscreen no longer works (a few weeks ago it worked)

2026-01-19 01:57:20 Ask

I have the Touch + Case version, a few weeks ago it worked well. I didn't use it for a few weeks, I keept it in original package. Now when I tried it again, touchscreen doesn't work at all. I reinstalled DietPi, still doesn't work. I installed Raspbian and touch still doesn't work. Everything else works, the display works, both USB ports work, but touchscreen no longer works.

I also removed the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and inserted it back in, and still touchscreen doesn't work. The xinput command shows the Waveshare touchscreen, but nothing happens if i touch the screen. I also tried different power bricks but still touchscreen doesn't work.

The thing is, when it worked sometimes randomly stopped working a few times, but after restart it worked again. But now I can't seem to make it work again.

Will it work if I plug in a mouse or keyboard?

Yes, I can plug in a mouse and keyboard and they work.

I played a little bit with the /boot/config.txt because I saw on internet a user saying that removing dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d will make touchscreen work. And after I removed, it worked, but the resolution was bad. So I run dietpi-config and set the resolution from there, but then the touchscreen didn't work again. So the problem might be with the configuration, but I don't know what settings I need to do.
