I am thinking of buying this megatouch video but it has an issue. When it turns on it says there is an error with the touch screen. The System Would work for a minute then touch screen error code would come up. Sound familiar to anyone? If so is it an easy fix?

It might or might not be an easy fix. First off, you didn't mention what version, so I will tell you a little bit about the Maxx series. I had a touch controller that couldn't be found unless I touched the screen and even then it would just freak out. I changed out touch controllers, same thing. It turned out to be a motherboard issue (probably with the serial port), I swapped boards and it was fine.
It could be the touch screen itself, or the controller. The only way to know would be to start troubleshooting the issue. One great place to start is the LED light on the touch controller. If it's on solid when you press the screen it should get brighter. When you pull your finger off it should go solid dim again. This is true unless you have the ELO touchscreen which is silver then it's blinking light no touch, solid light touch. If your LED on the controller is working correctly I wouldn't assume your screen is fine but I'd check other things first. Also, no LED means no power and you should also check the serial connection to the motherboard. I think there MIGHT be an off chance that it's a dirty screen but I'm not sure about that...
I did see one that had similar symptoms that just had the power connector removed. I had to wire a new one but once I did it worked fine.... It just depends.
