Cut and place the foam sealing tape on the back of the touchscreen to form a<br />

dust seal as shown in Figure 4.2 on page 4-34. This seal is particularly<br />

important because the CRT is a good electrostatic precipitator and will attract<br />

dust. The adhesive tape and foam sealing tape should form a complete seal<br />

around the touchscreen. Do not leave any gaps. The sealing tape should not<br />

be visible when the monitor is reassembled.<br />

Practice aligning the touchscreen on the CRT without removing the adhesive<br />

tape liner. The installation can tolerate some horizontal and vertical shift.<br />

However, rotational skew between the touchscreen and monitor axes cannot<br />

be easily compensated for in the calibration, and will also interfere with<br />

proper mounting of the tube in the bezel.<br />

When you have a good feel for the placement of the touchscreen, clean the<br />

back side of the touchscreen and the face of the CRT again. Avoid all contact<br />

between the cleaning solution and the mounting materials as the cleaner may<br />

cause the mounting materials to eventually release from the glass. Remove<br />

all lint with a brush or compressed air. Remove the liner from the adhesive<br />

tape and align the touchscreen on the monitor. The thicker foam tape will<br />

keep the adhesive tape away from the CRT until you are ready to adhere the<br />

touchscreen to the monitor. Now press the touchscreen firmly against the<br />

CRT.<br />

Inspect your results carefully for alignment, trapped dust or lint, and a good<br />

seal between the touchscreen and CRT. If there is trapped lint, you may be<br />

able to remove it without removing the touchscreen by capturing it with a<br />

thin wire with a small spot of glue. Poke the wire through the foam gasket<br />

and stick the lint to the wire. Pull the lint back into the gasket and embed it<br />

there, or remove it completely and reseal the gasket.<br />

If you must remove the touchscreen from the CRT, cut the adhesive tape<br />

away with a sharp thin blade, such as an X-Acto knife. The touchscreen glass<br />

will probably break if you try to pull it off by a corner or an edge. Shave the<br />

old adhesive tape from the touchscreen and CRT with the knife. Adhesive<br />

residues can be removed with isopropyl alcohol, which will leave streaks and<br />

fingerprint smears. Use glass cleaner for the final cleaning prior to<br />

reapplication of new tape.<br />
