I have a viking D1 that I bought 2nd hand in 07, just had my screen replaced. it stopped working totally. couldn't even sew anything but a straight line, brought it in an my guy tried to see if it could be recalibrated with no luck. it is woeking fine now.

My Husqvarna Viking Designer II was second-hand and needed the sensor screen replaced soon after I got it because it lost its ability to be calibrated properly. It had crescent-shaped indentations on the screen and I guess the person who had the machine before me had long finger-nails and jabbed at the screen rather than just touching it with a stylus point. A finger is too expansive and doesn't hit the right spot which has been sensored - that will upset the calibration system.
I was told to always use a stylus so I bought one and DHDon turned a little eggcup with a small hole to hold and protect the stylus. He then turned a red-wood stylus with its holder for me as well. My new screen still looks brand new.
Another tip is to give the screen a chance to work. A couple of seconds is very little time to wait for the information to be processed. Jabbing at the screen will not make it work faster or more accurately.
Also just rest the point of the stylus on the screen. There is no need at all to push it hard.

I bought my Designer 1 in October 1999 and in November 2010 had the screen replaced. It worked well one day, the next day I might have to restart the machine to function as it should. Was a bit annoying, thought it was a wacky contact somewhere, so I mentioned it when I brought it in for its annual service. They phoned me and adviced me to have it replaced now the machine was opened to avoid extra costs later as they thought it would not last very much longer.
It works beautifully again
This is the only repair I've had in 11 years.

My Elna Xquisite 2 is currently in the workshop awaiting diagnoses, but it is more than likely it will need the screen replaced as it has been going out of calibration since forever. It is only just three years old and most annoying that it came back with this problem, after a previous repair.

I have an old Deco 500 in need of a new screen, but no screens are available in South Africa. If anyone could suggest where I could get one I would be most grateful. Thanks.
