Bonding Issues
In some non-OEM touch assemblies, the touch sensor is not properly bonded to the metal frame. This may reduce structural support and increase the likelihood of cracks during handling, installation, or field use.

Risks of Non-OEM Touch Assemblies (iDeck)
Non-OEM touch assemblies may look similar, but differences in bonding quality, traceability, glass specification, and touch-controller performance can create reliability and compliance risks in regulated gaming environments.
- Visual comparison of genuine vs non-genuine touch parts
- Traceability markers and FPCB pattern differences
- Cracking/shattering examples and touch drawing abnormalities
Why this matters
In practice, non-OEM touch assemblies can contribute to field failures such as no-touch, intermittent touch, communication issues, and premature breakage. Genuine TOVIS parts support traceability and consistency for service, diagnostics, and RMA management.

2
Part Number Mismatch
Part numbers and identification labels on non-OEM components may not match genuine TOVIS original parts. This makes verification, traceability, and service history control more difficult.
3
Different Glass Material
Non-OEM touch assemblies may use soda-lime glass, while genuine TOVIS touch assemblies use GG3 glass designed for durability and stable performance in demanding gaming environments.
4
Cracking and Shattering Risk
Non-OEM touch assemblies may be more vulnerable to cracking and shattering under repeated use, impact, or frame stress. This can increase downtime and replacement costs.
5
Touch Malfunction and Communication Errors
iDecks fitted with non-OEM touch assemblies may experience touch malfunction, input errors, or communication faults between the touch controller and the EGM.
- Touch malfunction / no touch
- Touch input errors (misalignment, missed touch)
- Touch communication errors
6
Non-OEM Parts Used in RMAs
Service returns (RMAs) may contain units fitted with non-OEM touch assemblies or related parts. This can complicate fault isolation, warranty assessment, and root-cause analysis.
Quick Reference
Genuine vs non-genuine checkpoints
| Checkpoint | Non-OEM Risk | Genuine TOVIS Expectation |
|---|---|---|
| Frame Bonding | Incomplete or inconsistent bonding | Consistent bonding to frame and assembly fit |
| Part Number / Label | Mismatched or unverified identifiers | Traceable part code / serial / QR identification |
| Glass Specification | Soda-lime glass may be used | GG3 glass for durability/performance |
| FPCB / Controller Pattern | Pattern/layout differences | Known genuine design and markings |
| Field Performance | No touch, errors, communication issues | Stable touch operation and diagnostics |
