Manuel, I ran into the same problem with my A5A's. I finally ordered some BBB boards from Arrow and received A6A versions, those worked fine, except the touch screen was jittery and overly sensitive. Plugging in a USB mouse solved the jittery cursor at the expense of the loss of the touch screen. The 7" displays worked, but the 4.3" did not.
