I just bought a RB2011UAS-2HND-IN, the touch screen is incredible insensitive. After many tries I may be able to change screen (if I have the luck on my side). I tried “/lcd reset-calibration”, but there are no reaction when I try to press on the first “X”.
Do I have a defective unit or is it a design-flaw?
No improvements for the calibration, it doesen’t register when I press the “X”. Tried finger, nail and stylus. Pressing, holding, swiping, no response what so ever. The touch it self seems littlebit more responsive, could be just me geting used to it…
Mine RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN is the same -touch display is unresponsive and/or defect - only some kinds of triangles appears on it with message Interface down. Shame.

These settings are not correct. LCD touchscreen is configurable under “/lcd” menu. “/system lcd” menu from optional LCD package is used for LCD displays.

like espencb, I’ve just received a RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN. It works very well except for the LCD screen that is unresponsive to touches too.
I’ve done all upgrades (now I’m in firmware 3.0 and routerOS 5.21, bundled version was rOs 5.20) but the calibration still not work: I’m not able to register the first cross to push due to unresponsive screen.
I hope the next rOs release will fix that or I will deduce the LCD is defective :-/
Make sure you press hard. This is not an iPhone display (capacitive type), this is a resistive display, where pressure registers your selections. Try to press harder, or use a pencil (or some other not-very-sharp object)
If you upgraded to v5.21 and did the “reset calibration” command, and it still doesn’t work, you must return it to the seller. It could be a defective panel.
And without voltage monitoring
Voltage monitoring is VERY good feature at RouterBoard. We use it to monitor DC UPS voltage.
But who will climb at 100m tower to loo look at RB LCD ??
OK, but what for is LCD at RouterBOARD 2011UAS? And 600MHz CPU
It’s rack-mount router, that is at sever’s room - we are getting in there one time per month.
Normis, I want to tell You, that MUCH better solution would be to use better CPU and NO LCD!!!
Router ir router. And MikroTik OS is very good system. So we don’t want to use it to display movies , but - we need better performance, stability and features.
wow, you’re saved my day !! tnx & happy New Year !
im actually purchased my 2011[non-RM wariant with WiFi and LCD] and nearly start feel sorry about not picking RackMount-version instead[despite absence of (rarely used until now)WiFi], because fragile-looking enclosure, [not laugh:]red color in front and LCD in weird state - protective cover scrateched, partially removed[“by force”]/twisted and half-screen not touch sensetive.
after reading THIS thread i discover than LCD was left in “Disabled” state and locked to [not used yet]SFP cage. i guess wrong defaults in RouterOS config[i was used 6.0rc5].
after doing two [unsuccessfull]attempts to re-calibrate LCD, i was kinda desperate, but after third time - its WORKING !!
and found LCD really helpful !![never before big fan of displays in networking.
also discover scary button with “Reset” title
p.s.
wonder how far “Screen race” coul lead networking designers/manufacturers soon. 4’’ screen on router, anyone ? 6’’ maybe ?
