my raspberry pi5 is not compatible to the touch screen I bought.

I got a CX070PI-A IPS 7-inch screen and a Rpi 5. The screen itself works but not the touch screen. However, when I connect the touch screen port from my screen to my normal pc, then it does work so its not the screen but the software of the Rpi. I checked Github and saw a few issues in the past with update 5622, that I installed but no change. I switched back from wayland to X11 but that also did not work and I disabled the entire KMS drivers that also didnt work. ANy tips?
wherever you bought it it should give you a link to the drivers
download those onto your pi
appearantly no drivers are required, I cant seem to find any and other users are having no issue
interesting
is it connected via gpio or the flat cable?
I tried connecting it through the delivered micro-usb to usb cable (didnt work), i tried another decently high end micro-usb to usb cable (didnt work) and i tried the 4 pin to usb cable (didnt work).
the HDMI is via flat cable to micro-hdmi but also a hdmi-micro hdmi cable didnt work
The screen and the RPI are powered separately using the official cables
Is it receiving enough power, tbh I always prefer gpio fans anyways so I rarely have issues such as these.
hmm can you send a picture?
I measured, it should be receiving enough power
does it use both a the hdmi port and the flat SPI cable?
ah ok. as far as I'm aware the pi 5 can not have touch screen via hdmi
The coloured cable should be the touch screen, but I can also connect the micro USB to USB cable to enable touch but it's also not working
usually a flat SPI cable or gpio is used for that
oh the usb?
Yea that's what they said, that the 4 pin to USB is touch screen functionality
hmm
can you link where you got this?
I didn't pay this price for it, like half. But this is the screen
does it have the availability for gpio pins?
Only for power I am pretty sure
does it only touch the 5v and ground pins?
This is how I also tried it, according to the manual description. But it didn't work
I have a feeling that they claim it's for raspberry pi 5, but it's actually not
Since there's no raspberry pi 5 in the manual, they only mention it on the website
But I thought it would not make a difference
I don't know anymore
you sure you power supply is 5v 5a?
Yes, I measured it
And it works if I connect the USB output to my regular PC
Then the tablet screen will control my mouse basically
hmm
I have no clue anymore
as a last ditch effort plug it in to your pi and run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo reboot now
I tried that already
Thanks for the help though
I will just contact the seller
I wish there was a magic solution
usually a spi cable or gpio is the magic solution, I prefer to only shop from pi registered sites like pi hut
