Unresponsive / inaccurate touchscreen - PerfectJam - 05-07-2026

Hello,

I have a PineTime purchased in March 2023. When I first used it, the touchscreen was working perfectly.

I then left the watch unused for approximately 2 years. When I powered it back on, the touchscreen was no longer responding correctly, it feels like it is miscalibrated: inputs are not registered where I tap, or swipes are not recognized reliably.

I just updated the firmware to 1.16.0 (from 1.11.0), but the issue persists.

My assumption is that this may be a hardware degradation issue (deep discharge during storage) rather than a firmware problem, but I wanted to check here before concluding.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue after long-term storage? Is there any known fix or workaround short of hardware intervention?

Thanks and cheers !
