Hi, i always get the error log when flashing the 26.0 firmware from your website. What could be the issue?

I've added the full log as text file.

Greetings Dennis

Peppy firmware is referring to the touch controller, which is on the display board. Would need to start investigating for physical damage and testing with known good parts to determine for sure.

The display is made of one big round touch sensitive PCB, with a plastic disc glued to the top, and another RGB array soldered to the bottom. Most often these are dropped on their head, which caves the display in enough to start separating the components on this display board. It can be really tricky to spot this kind of damage so it's usually better to confirm with a known good display and ribbon cable

Thank you very much for your reply! I tested it with a new touch display board and, lo and behold, you were right. With this one, the restore process runs through flawlessly. Best regards, Dennis
