How do I resolve an unresponsive staff checkout screen?
Recover an unresponsive Staff Checkout screen by powering down the kiosk, reseating HDMI and USB cables, and verifying touch responsiveness on restart.
๐ Overview
If the Staff Checkout screen stops responding to touch, the cables between the kiosk and the side display have most likely come loose. Resolve it by powering the kiosk and side UX off cleanly, reseating the HDMI and USB cables, and powering everything back on โ the app will re-detect the displays automatically.
If you can't access Manage Mode from the customer-facing side UX, hold the power button on the back of the kiosk for a few seconds, then continue with the steps below.
Step 1. Power Off the Kiosk
- Go to the customer-facing display (Side UX).
- Navigate to Manage Mode โ Advanced โ Power Off.
- Choose Power Off Temporarily.
- Turn off the side UX with the orange on/off switch on the back.

Step 2. Disconnect Power
- Remove the power cable from the kiosk.
- Remove the power cable from the side UX.
Step 3. Reseat HDMI and USB Cables
With the kiosk fully off:
- Reseat both the HDMI and USB cables on the back of the kiosk.
- Reseat the USB cables inside the side UX's hub.
Step 4. Reconnect Power
- Plug the power cable back into the side UX.
- Plug the power cable back into the kiosk.
- Turn on the side UX with the orange on/off switch.
- Press and release the power button on the back of the kiosk.
Step 5. Test Touch Responsiveness
Tap around the Staff Checkout screen to confirm it responds to touch. The app will prompt you to identify which display is which โ follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup.
๐ก Tips
- A clean Manage Mode shutdown is much safer than yanking the power cable โ always try the in-app Power Off path first.
- If touch is still unresponsive after a full reseat, the issue is likely the side UX hardware itself rather than a cable. Escalate to support with the kiosk ID.
